Kings coach Karl prefers forward Jason Thompson off the bench

Kings coach George Karl said he likes forward Jason Thompson coming off the bench because he's a better fit with reserve point guard Andre Miller, according to CowbellKingdom.com.

After starting 50 of the Kings' first 61 games this season Thompson has come off the bench for the last five.

Miller has served as the Kings' backup point guard since being acquired Feb. 19 in a trade with the Wizards.
