Z. Randolph - PF

SAC

At Kings media day, coach Dave Joerger implied that both Randolph and Kosta Koufos could see reduced roles this season, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports. "I'm not saying those guys won't play, but our bigger priority is to play as many young guys as possible," Joerger said.

While Joerger's words may not be in the best interest of Randolph, himself, it's nonetheless refreshing to hear that the Kings will lean into their youth-heavy roster, which features second-year players Justin Jackson, Harry Giles, De'Aaron Fox and Bogdan Bogdanovic, as well as No. 2 overall pick Marvin Bagley, among others. Last season, Sacramento's rotation was muddied with a mixture of young players and veterans, and it was often difficult to discern which players Joerger would favor on a night to night basis. The rotation could still take some time to settle, but at the very least it appears as though Joerger is ready to embrace a rebuild, rather than a misguided attempt to compete for the eighth seed, even in a year in which the Kings don't control their own first-round pick. In 2017-18, Randolph's first in Sacramento, the veteran appeared in 59 games and averaged 14.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

R. Rondo - PG

LAL

Rondo will start at point guard to begin the season while Lonzo Ball works back from knee surgery, Kyle Boon of CBS Sports reports.

Ball was medically cleared last week, but coach Luke Walton is taking a conservative approach with his return to full basketball activities. Rondo may not keep the starting job for the entire year, but could see a boost in his minutes early on.

L. Ball - PG

LAL

Ball, who is making his way back from knee surgery, will come off the bench to begin the season, Kyle Boone of CBS Sports reports.

Ball was medically cleared last week, but it appears coach Luke Walton wants to ease him back into action by bringing him off the bench to begin the season. It's possible he still trends near 30 minutes per night early in the year, but a slow start could be in store from a minutes standpoint. Once he's feeling comfortable again, it's possible he'll join the starting five.

O. Porter Jr. - SF

WAS

At media day Monday, Porter noted that one of his goals this season is to be more aggressive as a shooter, Yahoo Sports reports.

Porter has quietly been among the league's deadliest three-point shooters in recent seasons, but he shoots the three at a relatively low volume, relative to his efficiency. "That's definitely going to be a goal of mine, just to be ultra-aggressive," Porter said. "I think it's best for the team and best for me to put out that effort and be more involved and kind of be like Klay Thompson and take my shots. I'm very confident in that. I'm going to instill that in every game." Coach Scott Brooks echoed that sentiment, going as far as to facetiously implore the media to chastise Porter for passing on open looks. "I know you guys aren't trying to do me any favors here, but if you guys can do me one favor, just yell at him every time he doesn't shoot the ball," Brooks said. "I mean, just scream at him and ask him questions about that every time. 'Otto, why don't you shoot?' He needs to shoot more." Porter hit 44.1 percent of his 4.1 three-point attempts per game last season, but the latter number was actually lower than two seasons ago, when he hit just a shade under 44 percent of his 4.3 attempts per game.

B. Bogdanovic - SG

SAC

Bogdanovic underwent successful surgery Monday and is expected to miss four-to-six weeks, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports.

Bogdanovic's recovery will put him out through camp and the preseason, however he shouldn't miss too much of the regular season barring any setbacks. This is the second surgery on his knee in the last six months, so it's unknown if there will be any lingering effects. With Bogdanovic likely out for the start of the regular season, Buddy Hield, Justin Jackson, and Nemanja Bjelica could all see a larger role.

J. Crowder - SF

UTA

Crowder said Monday that he's down 14 pounds from his playing weight last season, Andy Larsen of the Salt Lake Tribune

This time of year, the entire league has a way of being in the best shape of its collective life, but Crowder's weight loss is particularly interesting given that he's coming off of a relatively disappointing season. He began the year in Cleveland but failed to mesh with LeBron James before eventually being dealt to the Jazz at the trade deadline. Crowder's shooting numbers actually got worse in Utah, and he closed the year with an overall average of 9.7 points per game on 40.4 percent shooting (32.3% 3PT). Entering his first full season with the Jazz and down some deadweight, Crowder will look to regain the efficiency that saw him shoot just a shade under 40 percent from three during his last season in Boston (2016-17).

L. Ball - PG

LAL

Ball (knee) said Monday that he's medically cleared and is "finally 100 percent," Mike Trudell of Lakers.com reports.

This isn't exactly breaking news, as Ball was technically cleared by the team's medical staff last week, but he reiterated Monday that his knee feels great with training camp set to open. All indications are that Ball will need to work his way back to full-court, 5-on-5, but he should have no trouble being ready to go for opening night on October 18 in Portland.

M. Harkless - SF

POR

Harkless said he's yet to make a full recovery from the knee procedure he underwent at the end of the 2017-18 season and will be limited for the start of training camp, Joe Freeman of the Oregonian reports.

Harkless missed 11 of the Trail Blazers' final 13 games last season with a knee injury, which included sitting out two of the team's four losses to the Pelicans in the first round of the playoffs. He apparently underwent a procedure to correct the issue at some point following the season, though an exact date hasn't been provided. Either way, Harkless is still dealing with some discomfort and is set to be limited for the start of training camp. He hasn't been cleared for 5-on-5 work, so with the preseason kicking off this Saturday against Toronto, it seems highly unlikely that Harkless is available. Whether or not Harkless sees any time at all during the preseason is also up in the air, so it will be a situation to monitor over the next few weeks. The Trail Blazers' regular-season opener is scheduled for Oct. 18 against the Lakers.
