Kevin Huerter's Brutally Honest Kings Statement After Bulls Trade

"Sacramento was a little up and down," Huerter said. "I didn't really get much opportunity there the last couple months. The flow and rhythm of the game, I think it was very choppy the past year plus. The fact that we're gonna play up and down here [in Chicago], the ball is gonna move side to side, no one's really gonna dominate the ball and we're gonna run the same action over and over again - it feels like it's a place that I should be a better fit in."

Huerter seemingly takes a slight dig at Sacramento here, blaming their offensive scheme and his lack of opportunity for his recent struggles. Huerter does not seem to understand that the reason he did not get much opportunity in Sacramento over the last couple of months is that he was playing poorly.

Huerter also revealed that he knew a trade was coming for weeks leading up to the deadline, as many fans expected it as well.

"It was something I think I knew for a couple weeks," Huerter said. "I wasn't too surprised, to be honest. I knew the deadline was coming up. I knew there were a lot of conversations going on."

For Huerter's sake, many hope he finds a good home in Chicago and gets plenty of opportunities, but not taking responsibility for his poor play is odd.
