He'd also be one of the longest and strongest the Kings have had in basically forever. No kidding, the potential is actually there for him to guard up to 4 like they said with Davion. Especially if you're talking about wings basically like most teams have. He's not as big nor heavy but his physicality on the court is very similar to someone like PJ Tucker. Both he and Fox are abnormally strong for their size. Also part of the new NBA things is players are listed without shoes. Historically he'd be listed at 6'4" with the classic round up. That's hardly small for a SG.
Also I'm not sure what his measurements are exactly but I've brought this up many times, the combine is a meat market. Scottie Barnes' wingspan was measured like 2-3 inches shorter at the combine than it actually is. He's actually 7'4" plus and there's video proof. I watched an interview with Devin and he said P3 had just measured him at a 6'10" wingspan and closer to 6'3". In the end it doesn't matter, strength > length. Devin blocking jumpshooters the way he can shows whatever length he has is quite functional.
I'm only teasing. Please no one take offense.
Big domino with PG13 declining his option. No pick up and trade now. This just has all the makings of him getting what he wants from the Clippers. Really? Ballmer is going to let him walk because they don't want to give him a 4 year deal, but a 3 year deal? Yeah, believe it when I see it. I think it's unlikely if Monte was expecting to land PG13 at this point.
Like I said, if he can match up with Booker, Ant-Man, Murray and other excellent SGs around the league I'm all for it. Anybody, and I mean anybody that can hold their own against the likes of those kind of guys has to put tremendous offensive pressure on the opposing team. Just having defensive excellence isn't nearly good enough. Hopefully, we see an all-around excellent performance from him in summer league and then we go from there.
There should be no doubt there. He matched up with C's at times in Providence when they switched screens. They actually run a lot of the same defensive schemes the Kings do. If it doesn't work it doesn't work, but Mike Brown now finally has the Warriors style 3 guard lineup with any one of Fox, Monk, Carter, and Keon avaiable. He might even be able to go back to some of the 4 guard ball he did play at times.
Just to be clear it was not a hit and run highsmith stopped and was present when officers arrived. I can't imagine that a legal matter from February has been cleared up yet especially the pending civil suit for tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's possible his attorneys were able to get the reckless driving ticket dropped if they had a data dump from the A5.
