Well, I guess this technically counts as wing help. Dude was a backend rotation guy for the Warriors when Mike Brown was with them.

So I guess Stanely Johnson wasn't a better option.

There’s still plenty of time before that happens though and the trade deadline. In the interim, rotating guys through the last roster spot to see if anyone ends up being a diamond in the rough isn’t the worst strategy.

Brown: "I know a guy"

Brown: "I know a guy"

I can't quite picture whose playing time he will cut into

 

[Krunker]

His NBA stats don't look that impressive and not that great of a 3P %, plus he is 30 years old, so count me as skeptical. I guess his Mexico City G-League stats look decent (19ppg, 48% FG, 98% FT, 31% 3P, 6 boards, 3.6 ast).

Meh. Smells like Brown went and asked Monte to go get one of his guys. He had a decent year awhile back, but don't think he's anything more than a warm body at the end of the bench. I'd be surprised if he stayed on the team the whole year, I assume like non of his contract is guaranteed.

Certainly not Colby Jones G League numbers!

Can’t fault Monte for trying but we haven’t hit on one of these bottom of the barrel wings. So far, I think PJ Dozier was the best one.

 

[Kingz19]

Looked at his highlight video and he never missed a shot. Total steal

 

[KF8]

Not sure that he's better than Duarte?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I only know this guy from 2k MyTeam and his name sorta rolls off the tongue. Hope he can contribute.

Better defender. Not a bad pickup but probably a favor deal in the end.

Welcome to Sacramento.

Kings are undefeated since Juan joined the team.

Sounds a little premature to go full on dumb roster move, right?

100% guy !

 

[ick300]

Whose minutes should this guy take ?
He is more like Barnes , Vezenkov and Lyles , or Huerter,Duarte ?

Duarte is listed as a 6'5'', 190 lb guard.

Juan is listed as a 6'6'', 209 lb forward.

Those extra 19lb can help him play the 3 more easily. Other than that, don't know anything about him.

I don't see official draft combine measurements for either player. From my memory of watching JTA play a bit, he didn't strike me as being bigger or longer than Duarte, and perhaps only slightly beefier? He did play good defense in Golden State. Interestingly, he's only a bit less than a year younger than Barnes, so he's not really youth movement material.

I got the stats for Duarte from ESPN, and for Juan, from Wikipedia.

Sorry if these are incorrect (or dated).

 

[King Baller]

My memory of seeing him play briefly is of a scrappy NBA endofbenchateer. JTA comes in for a few minutes to pester his defensive assignment and keep his eyes open for any hustle points to be made.

 

[dude12]

JTA was part of the rotation and matchup guy for the Warriors championship teams for a few years there. Is there anything left in the tank? Unknown.

 

[ESP47]

I feel like Jeremy Lamb is a better option than JTA.

I don't recall them using him much at all in their playoff runs

 

[MizzouKing]

He looks like a talented defensive specialist with real NBA experience... check out these previous outings against the Kings.

 

[joemama]

I had no idea there was a Gleague team in Mexico City. Based on my travels through there (3x) it is not somewhere I would want to be breathing deeply. Kinda like the time Kings went to India in the preseason. There were some very noticeable repercussions.
