If/when Fox and Bagley start to really light it up, guys like Bjelica are gonna be the icing on the cake, the thing that separates us from other teams. The workhorses of the NBA are often underappreciated. Bjelica gives his all every single night, he's out there ready to play, he's seemingly almost impervious to the owies that take down lesser players and he has never to my knowledge put himself above the team.

If people aren't excited to see a player like him have a good night, I'm at a loss for words...but such is the life of being a Kings fan, I suppose.

I don't literally not enjoy watching Bjelica score, I just already know who he is as a player. It reminds me of someone like Robert Covington on Minny. He just turned 29 last month, so he's young enough to be a part of a core, and he's a solid player - but you know what you have in him. He's capable of a big game here and there, and someone you want for the future - but I'd bet TWolves fans don't get crazy excited when he has a big game. They want to see someone like Wiggins and/or Culver have big games and grow so the entire team can take the next step. Bjelly is putting up good numbers and he's one of our most competent players but we still aren't winning games. We need our youngsters to take the next step like I just mentioned above, so watching already established players play great is fine, but development is what is exciting.

Once Bjelica goes to the bench expect to see Minny Bjelica where he's completely disinterested and wants to go back to Europe because he himself can see he's far superior to the guy playing ahead of him.

Do you have any evidence to support your allegation or is this just you dumping on Bjelica?

Bjelica/Holmes are the only reason I watch the team, and yes he will mail it in once he's sent to the bench why do you think he didn't go to Philly (had Saric/Simmons/Convington at the time at PF/SF) and wanted to leave Minny at any cost so he could start in Europe before Vlade came in and promised him certain things.

Oh, my bad. I didn't realize you had such an intimate knowledge of what makes Bjelica tick, how he thinks, what his life is like now, etc. I'll bow to your superior knowledge and let others get back to the topic at hand.

They have flirted with defense as their identity. Last night they gave up 71 first half points. The game before, 65 first half points to Orlando. Orlando.

So no, they have no identity at the moment except for DA Fox.
