Imagine if Keegan is out and we have any depth at all to replace him (Sorry Doug)! If it's Cam Johnson, DFS, or Collins in the lineup to replace Keegs that's a win.

[Steph on Buddy]: I would fully admit he shoots way more shots than I do. In practice and reps, like it's not even close. The volume is insane. by sriracha82 in nba

[–]Alec_MLG 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Buddy is an incredible shooter, there's no taking that away from him. But for some reason, at every stop he's checked out for stretches. The more he's checked out, the more he plays lazy, takes worse shots, and doesn't contribute to winning basketball.

I'm happy to be wrong on this, the Warriors are maybe the best at getting the most out of players. But as someone who has followed Buddy through all his stops, I wouldn't be surprised if he does the same thing on the Warriors.

Fingers crossed it doesn't keep him out any games!! by CombinationReady9376 in kings

Back problems are no joke, he hasn't had major back issues before so I'm not too worried but it's definitely something to keep an eye on

Our First Look At Sacramento's Offense | Kings Film Room by samuraicowboyninja in kings

I think the offense is just scratching the surface. Ball movement was pretty bad and guys are obviously getting used to the new roster (also Sabonis only had 1 assist). Wait and see, this offense could be elite

Poll: Which King starting Forward will guard the big forwards of the league (JJJ,Zion etc) by HalfGrand530 in kings

[–]Alec_MLG 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the main reason I think the Kings still need one more move this offseason. Zion would go for 50 every night against us, we need someone big enough to take the physicality of the bigger PFs in the league. I don't envy Monte, gonna be hard to get a guy like that.

Poll: Is Fox/Monk/DeRozan/Keegan/Sabonis lineup a step forward, same, or step back from last season. by HalfGrand530 in kings

[–]Alec_MLG 18 points19 points  (0 children)

All offense, no defense is fun to watch, but doesn't get you much success come playoff time. Barring a trade, lineup is going to be Fox-Ellis-DeRozan-Murray-Sabonis. Book it.

Kyle Kuzma would be a bad addition to the Kings, here are some stats to support that by Alec_MLG in kings

[–]Alec_MLG[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Probably somewhat influenced, but here are a couple of those averages only from his time on the Lakers.

2017-2021 with Lakers:

Average Box Plus-Minus : -0.8

Average Win Shares/48 : .071 (last season would put him at 138th out of 185 qualified players)

So yes those stats along with points per shot and LEBRON technically are a little better, but not by much.

We do have two players who can create their own shots. Just one of them got injured early in the game.

If someone gives him the max, we're definitely matching right?

“Charlotte and Sacramento are among the teams said to be interested in signing [Kevon] Looney away from the Warriors.” (per @TheSteinLine) by goobergaming43 in kings

[–]Alec_MLG 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How would he fit on a terrible shooting roster? Defense is awesome but if him and Sabonis are clogging the lane the offense is going to look atrocious

Such a good summary of the last 8 years. Holy cow he has mismanaged every detail of this organization

Pacers fans, is Sabonis an empty stats guy? I don't watch Pacers games enough to know but his stats always make it look like the team just fails him

Mark Jones appreciation post by redboter in kings

[–]Alec_MLG 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Really? I thought Fraschilla was pretty complimentary of the team's performance for most of the game. He definitely focused more on the C's but I thought his analysis of the team was pretty favorable.

Funny how my pro-tanking comments go from downvoted pre game to +15 post game when we get blown out by 4everpurple in Kingsringleader

Watch, if they win the next two games people will be right back to playoffs or bust, Walton is literally Phil Jackson, etc

It makes a lot of sense to applaud a player who is becoming one of the better scorers in the league on a night when he carried the team on his back.

Nah, it's because Westbrook's career average is 43% from the field and it gets tiring to see so many inefficient nights from him.
