Welcome Kevin Huerter
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
love this move, he was a Team USA guy back 5-6 years ago won gold at FIBA Americas 2016 U18. Also played on the U19 FIBA World Cup team
Been a big fan of his for many years now, I used to tell everyone back in the day he was my favorite 4-star recruit in the class of 2016.
Not only have the Kings been upgrading the shooting in a major way, but they arent getting ball-stoppers. I feel like an underrated storyline is that the ball-movement and spacing have been upgraded in a major way. This team is going to be much more fun to watch.
Huerter has extremely deep range on his shot too. He's clutch too! He was clutch for the Hawks and clutch back at Maryland.

No.. Mitchell is a ballhog with tunnelvision, makes way too much $$, and plays a style of ball thats conducive to making the playoffs and then getting treated like a doormat in the first or 2nd round..
The loss of Barnes would also hurt quite a bit in this scenario..
Also the Kings just traded a 1st rd pick away so with the Stepien rule in place this idea just doesnt get off the ground many ways over

BBIQ on this team is growing by leaps and bounds. We might actually be able to run a motion offense or complicated sets next year.
I would love to have one more high-level 3&D Wing added to the team. But if this is the roster heading into the season - it will be the most balanced roster in a long while. I also really like Huerter over Brogdon.
As far as the picks being locked up - the Kings will still be able to trade them on draft day - they just have to draft the player for the other team.
All that being said - I don’t think the Kings are a playoff team in the West, but it’s arrow up with hope for a major break next summer.

That’s sweet.
Except for not being a “lock down defender”, he checks pretty much every box for the type of backcourt partner one would want next to Fox. And if Fox picks up his on ball defense, they should work really well together.
I am a Fox fan (the lack of 3 pt shooting still gives me concern), but he’s never seemed to have great synergy with his back court mate (maybe Shumpert - who was technically playing the 3). Fingers crossed that these two can grow to complement each other.

Some Hawks fans say that despite what the stats say he is a solid team defender. He usually had to defend the teams best player because the people beside him were Young and Hunter. Young, who is probably worse than Fox at defense, and Hunter, who is always hurt. So it usually came down to Huerter to defend the point of attack. When he could sit back and play team defense he was solid.
Because that's where he's played nearly all his minutes so far in his career. But given the Kings depth at guard, whether you call him a SG or a SF, I think it's very likely that he spends some time on the court with two other guards.
I could see the Kings closing out games with a lineup of Fox, Monk or Mitchell, Huerter, Barnes and Sabonis

Where is Huerter most effective, SG or SF? Read: https://soaringdownsouth.com/2022/03/07/atlanta-hawks-changed-use-kevin-huerter/
I guess my eyes weren't deceiving me when I saw him defending SFs a lot with Atlanta.
