Really happy for the way he’s playing starting out his career MORE MINUTES FOR JUSTIN JAMES Rookie guard Justin James logged extended minutes for the first time this season during the team’s recent four-game road trip. James flashed his potential in the first game of the trip, posting 14 points, three rebounds and three assists against the Brooklyn Nets on a night when Bogdan Bogdanovic did not play due to hamstring tightness. During the road trip, James made 11 of 23 (.478) field-goal attempts and 3 of 7 (.428) from 3-point range, looking confident and comfortable at both ends of the floor. “His composure for a rookie — for me to throw him out there and (for him to) do the things he’s done — has been quite impressive,” Kings coach Luke Walton said. “… When you’re a rookie and you’re not in the top 10 in the rotation, you’re very limited in your opportunities, but he’s made an impression on his coaches and teammates.
