I actually think we need rim protection, an actual 7-footer.
We do not have youth at the center position, so he does not hinder anyone, but he can make up for some of the youth's mistakes.
Everyone lists Bagley as a center, he is not that right now. Can he be in the future? Maybe, but he is best suited as a PF rn.
I see too many of our bigs best suited as PFs right now. Sure Bjelly and Holmes can play some minutes there, but they struggle against some of the bigger 5s in the game.

It will be interesting to see how much money he got, but at one year, can't be a disaster. We needed a full-sized center, and we got one. He hasn't been a big minutes eater, made his way all the way up to 30 mpg in Portland last year. Shoot, he led the league in O-rebs and blocks last year, and he's 31. On a one year deal at a position of need? Count me in.

The Sacramento Kings land free agent center Hassan Whiteside, who returns to his initial NBA home, agreeing to a one-year, minimum deal, according to sources. ESPN first to report
For a minimum, not bad Monty (I know spelled wrong).

I'm OK with it. I know he's seen as an empty stats kind of guy, but he's actually highly productive, so my only worry is that he will lead to a few unnecessary wins. He's effective when he's on the floor.
Hopefully the intention is to flip him at the deadline (possibly along with Buddy), to a team looking to make a push. Being able to offer a productive big, who isn't signed long-term, could be attractive to any number of teams looking to make a run in the playoffs.
