What a draft!

 

[xyrin]

Yes, I have a question: Where has he been my entire life?

I understand we put him in the starting lineup with Hawes in the doghouse, but I think he should replace Greene in the lineup if we put Hawes back in.

 

[Starting Five]

No questions from me..

Man, I agree although tonight appears to be as much about matchups (Jamison) than dumping Hawes to the bench in disgrace. Donte is a child next to a real man like Omri, even though they're roughly same age. Casspi's pro experience of several years overseas while Donte has only freshman year in college and last year as NBA rook is enough alone to produce a different breed. Add Omri's insane, but under control killer instinct, and it's no contest. Plus, amazingly it seems Omri is much more versatile off the dribble than Greene. No, I'm not giving up on Donte by a long shot, just looking at the stark reality.

Steal Of The Draft!

 

[tradepeja]

Maybe the only question is....should he continue to start or is his spark off the bench more important?

Not Tyreke for falling to fourth???

 

[Chupacabra]

I definitely favor Casspi over Greene. Im not entirely sold on Greene, although he has great potential. Im sold on Casspi. Actually, ive been sold on Casspi.

Casspi surprises me more and more each game. It seems he adds something new to the mix each and every night. He has a knack for making tough shots and he's not afraid to keep shooting even after misses. He plays with a tremendous amount of confidence.

Tonight he became a bit of a chucker from 3 point land but I don't really remember any of the shots being bad shots. They just weren't falling.

casspi plays well... he doesnt play like a rookie, though he was playing professionally overseas...

Dang. I always knew he aspired to grow up to be just like Bar Refaeli

 

[Löwenherz]

Late in the third or early fourth, Casspi had a Peja-esque moment where he shot what appeared to be from behind the backboard and I thought "no way" just before it swished in.

Of course, unlike Peja he dives and scraps for loose balls. Just awesome.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

his inside scoring and handles have been a pretty big surprise. you can tell hes played pro bball before, he and tyreke both have that poise of a pro.

 

[kingzallday]

Maybe we should stick with this starting line-up? It seems like Hawes showed a tiny flash of what he can do when he's fired up. He should keep coming off the bench and earn his spot again.

Evans
Greene
Casspi
Nocioni
Thompson

But Casspi for Runner-up ROY!!!

we cant pull that lineup on most teams, it mainly only worked cuz jamison is undersized. but ya when the mis match is there against a smaller PF, I say hells yes to that line up. I liked that lineup because everyone could shoot, all tyreke had to do was drive and dish.

 

[VF21]

Okay, back to Omri...

I'm watching the replay of the game and he's just as good the second time.

 

[Maccabi_Fan]

Hey people =]

I have a question: If casspi will continue to play like this ,he will be in the rookies team on february?

We can certainly hope!

I almost think he is a lock at this point.

 

[NME]

I love his court awareness, like on that play where Nocioni knocked the ball loose, and Omri swooped into the crowd and just punched the ball out to Tyreke streaking out for the dunk.

yah dude hes top 5 on most rookie rankings im sure he'll make it.. it would be dope too see havoc and casspi both starting for the rook squad.

What a draft!

Oh, I don't know...Brockman hasn't really made a strong case for rookie of the year. Yet.

I have no problem with a guy chucking up 3's when hes 2nd in the NBA in 3pt field goal percentage

 

[HighFlyingMonkey]

I think Casspi pretty much embodies the Sacramento Kings this year. Here's a guy who was not expected to be a factor at all comes firing out of the gates, showing flashes of tremendous talent while playing his heart out every night.
