He's a completely one dimensional player but that one dimension is what got him paid in the first place. That said at his best this team can't afford the highest paid backup C in the league. Totally bad value but he can help the team with what he does.

Before the bashing to his eye, he did more. Off ball shot blocking and good parimeter defense, when switched onto wings/guards

He's still recovering but I've noticed like with Barnes, they aren't really looking for him nearly as much anymore. That probably has something to do with their team having so many guards now. Even Wiggins is basically a huge SG. Klay as that 3rd guy is legendary, as a 2nd? I never really got those vibes from him but he can obviously go off on any given night or quarter as Grant would be happy to tell you about around a campfire.

They aren't looking for him as much because he's not the same player, ergo they must look elsewhere.

Malik Monk a total stud. Might need a change where he's in the starting 5 and move huerter down to the 3. Just adds such a dynamic offensive guy to play off Fox Sabonis.

I'm ready for Metu at the backup 5 full time. His athleticism played super well and he at least keeps out of the paint offensively. Had a few really nice passes too to set up easy shots. He and Lyles are pretty well securing those backup big minutes.

Fox/Sabonis just starting to cook together and it's so fun to watch. They're a hard duo to shut down, especially if we're nailing the drive and kick.

These people never worked with dogs before?

If you want the dog to move to a certain place, you gotta all hover by that place and not spread all over the place yelling random instructions and throwing treats willy-nilly...

I thought the Warriors might come out ablazing because of losing five in a row. If the Kings can just play some fundamentally sound basketball in the 2nd half and get half as many ref calls as what they deserve, Kings should be fine.

I think we've seen him enough to know that while it would be awesome if he wasn't the type that once his offense is rolling his effort, energy, and everything else picks up it's what he is.

He could still turn it around. Probably not on this team. Interestingly, I don't recall that the high percentage short distance shot was what earned him the starting job, when he was brought in to be a backup. I remember a hard nosed energy big. The extra offense came a little later, with all the playing time

It’s San Francisco, most of these people have probably never seen a dog in their lives before arbitrarily splurging on a purebred puppy.

They did. As usual hit us in the mouth and we were down 9-1 early. But a big change with the Mike Brown Era is we keep fighting and don't just let the game fall away. Such a fun change as a fan to watch

Yeah, I think the pouting is going to get into full swing here soon. Brown had a meeting with him and his people after getting hired, that said it all. They clearly wanted guarantees and those are in the trash at this point.
