Hey, I know a team that needs a 3rd Point Guard!
Ford would be a nice developmental 3rd PG for the Kings. The Kings should sign him to a 2-way contract at the very least.
not sure we have guard spots.
Guaranteed contracts:
Fox, Monk, Mitchelll
Huerter, Jones, Duarte.
you could make a case Ellis deserves a spot more than Ford. Really makes me question why the Duarte trade. Again we have pieces that don’t fit….
if you look at our team where are minutes coming from?
Fox, 2435. 0% chance
Domas 2735, 0% chance.
Keegan 2381, will increase.
Barnes 2662, may lose some to Keegan
Monk, 1719, will increase
Huerter 2202, small chance
Mitchell 1447, push for more
—————————————-
Lyles 1247 —> fight with Vezenkov
TD 841 —> Monk, Jones, Duarte, Ellis
Metu 689 —> Queta, Len or Lyles maybe Vezenkov
Holmes 347 —> Queta, Len or Lyles
Edwards 306 —> Edwards, Slawson??
Okpala 248 —> Edwards
Delle 212 —> Monk, Davion
Len 162 —> Queta, Len, Lyles.
Ford is great but you are all ready looking to increase Monk and Mitchell minutes. No where for him to play.
the 4 small ball 5 minutes will be a battle between Lyles and maybe Vezenkov.
the real minutes sit at Edwards/Okpala and the only players that fit that archetype are Edwards and maybe Keegan but he gives up drives to quicker players.
Metu/Holmes/Len —> Len or Queta minutes.
you really have some minutes in the 2/3 spot and the big back up 5….
you have a log jam at 6’3” or less ball handlers Fox/Monk/Mitchell
you have a log jam at 6’8/6’9 stretch 4’s
Murray/Lyles/Vezenkov and In my opinion Barnes
Jones/Duarte/Huerter/Ellis is a battle for minutes. 6’7”/6’8” wingspan wings
it’s been a weird off season adding players where we are strong and not addressing the 6’11” wingspan wing or big back-up 5 at all. We are almost as unbalanced as before the Hali trade.
