“He needs more time to prepare,” said Kerr, who sees the benefit of Wiggins having an extra week of practice to re-establish chemistry with the starting unit. “Ideally, if we could finish in the top six, we’d have a week or so to prepare and there would be scrimmaging going on during that time.

DiVincenzo shared a similar sentiment when asked about his preference between Phoenix and Sacramento for Round 1.
