Sacramento Kings TV analyst Kayte Christensen joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross on Wednesday morning to preview tonight’s game against the Houston Rockets, discuss whether or not De’Aaron Fox should secure a spot on the Western Conference All-Star team, and much more.

Topics discussed include:

  • Why the two losses against the Pacers and Pelicans were bizarre
  • A seven-game road trip right before the All-Star game is “such a trap”
  • “If anything, I hope Adam Silver was watching and saw the case that it makes for how important De’Aaron Fox is to this team and why he’s an All-Star.”
  • How social media has dehumanized athletes
  • In back-to-back games, the second games don’t play out the same way as the first. What should the Kings expect against the Rockets tonight?
  • If the Kings need to make a trade to make noise in the playoffs.
  • “If nothing happens, I’m not going to be upset about it at all because I think this team has done a really great job at building really critical chemistry.”
  • Her thoughts on the trade for Kessler Edwards
  • “I think they’re looking towards the future already. This is a team that’s been in the lottery forever and they’re now turning a corner to where they have to start trying to find value that they develop themselves.”
