That sequence where Whiteside got smacked and he didn't get back on offense, the Kings took a poor shot, and the Whiteside foul on Melo/tech on Kanter was really a momentum killer. Sac had all the momentum at that point, getting it down to like 17.
We have more second rounders than we have roster spots - I thought we did ok in the second round this year, but really we should be using them to move up not back, and maybe with Monte it will happen. For all his faults, Vivek wants to win, so hopefully he has truly stepped back with this new FO.
But really, since our coach won't play those picks... ugh.
I don't know what his contract looked like. I'm sure he was paid pretty decent to sit next to Luke. Again, they had to have this factored into begin with.
It just needs a coaching switch and the interim coach needs to play the kids and go into evaluation mode. This was never going to be our year so why we aren't developing the second round picks and finding out if they are NBA caliber is beyond me.
