I just cannot understand the lack of common sense.
Cousins is an excellent post player. Passer AND scorer. For a team that is this bad offensively I don't see why he isn't getting 20+ post touches a game. Or does that make too much sense?
Cousins was a great passer last season. He still is a great passer, we just haven't given him any opportunity to make plays with his passing. Post him up and run plays off that. Cut to the basket, go back door, etc ..
That is where we miss Beno again. Underrated cutter and Cousins would find him in good spots all the time.

Jimmer isn't the typical rookie in my opinion. He isn't some freak athlete who hasn't cracked his potential and was poorly coached. He's seasoned, experienced, who comes in with a lot of skills. I just worry about his upside if this train wreck of a team ever does get fixed
On a seperate note, it's a shame that Doug Collins went this long between coaching gigs. How did GM's never give this guy a chance

The ball movement is going to take time and it is unfair to judge the team this quickly. That said, I have my doubts we will get to the point we need to get to as a team with our current personnel. We still need a starting SF that can distribute the ball and/or hit 3s at somewhere close to 40%. That's 4 or 5 assists right there.
See, I got accused of being a troll for saying that (to me) obvious observation.
Even having a discussion about the Kings and asking who would start on a good team was so heinous the thread was locked.
Well, this right here is what you get - a team that has no business competing on the court if even one or two players are out or having bad games.

I am neutral on Jimmer - absolutely NO preconceived opinion about him.
I can say, with serious objectivity, that there's something wrong with him.
He drove to the basket, brought THREE defenders to him, had TWO (not one - TWO!) Kings hovering on the 3-pt line, waiting for the clear pass, and Jimmer shot the ball. Well, tried to shoot - he got blocked by TWO defenders.
If somebody would have told me a professional would do that, in garbage time, it would be hard to believe.
I mean - Outlaw was right across the court from Jimmer - he HAD to have seen him standing there waiting for the pass.

Donte actually finished a ****ing break with a dunk, and hit a wide-open 3.
That's all I had to see - start him over this in-a-funk Salmons. He's hurting the team WAY too much right now to overlook Donte THAT much.
At the VERY least, give Donte more minutes and give him a chance to show if he can do that when it matters.
