    Welcome Nique Clifford

    Has anybody heard or read what Perry has had to say about Carter specifically? Or maybe it's more what he Perry hasn't said? We did hear a few days ago that Perry was still looking for another point guard, which seems to imply he doesn't value Carter in that regard. Maybe Perry doesn't like...

    Welcome Nique Clifford

    I hadn't heard this. I had the impression he was a basketball nut in a good way, which would imply he works out assiduously. Who exactly in the media has been saying this?

    I agree on the need. Not sure whether he's going to fill the need though. I'd like to see a season of relative health from him to be comfortable with him long term. Frankly, from what I've seen I can understand why he's included in some trade talk.

    No, I didn't catch Yang highlights. I'm more focused on Raynaud.

    Count me in the skeptical category. His shoulder injury history and his less than stellar point guard play is cause for concern.

    He's good in a lot of aspects. I think he has the potential to be much more than Alex Len though.

    It was fine, but nothing special in a SL game. What makes him special is his ability to make plays for others at the 3 point line for others.

    Clifford had an excellent all around game. In particular, I loved the 12 rebounds. If he can get 2/3rds of that with the big club over the same number of minutes with decent points and assists he will benefit the Kings greatly. I was disappointed the Kings coaching staff put Raynaud in the...

    Yes. And Carter had a shoulder injury before the Kings even drafted him. He still appears to have a shoulder injury. It's definitely cause for concern and I hate to think it, but the word "chronic" comes to mind.

    Regarding Carter, the offensive sputtering did not surprise so much. What disturbed me in this game was the fact he consistently went under screens and was not a force on defense. Why did he do that? And why didn't the Kings' coaching staff get on his ass immediately to stop him from doing...

    Best shooter of the game - Raynaud Best passer of the game - Raynaud Clifford was ok, nothing special but I could see him filling in off the bench. Perry talks about him as a backup pg, but I'd rather have Raynaud as a point-forward than Clifford any day. Carter was disappointing To me...

    My first thought is that he's a "hockey assist" guy. I don't know if that fits with the stats, but that's how I see him. He can get into the paint anytime he chooses and pass to a guy who passes to an open player who takes the shot, but he's not a creative assist guy who delivers the pass for...

    There is plenty of reason to dump them - opportunity costs. Keegan Murray needs to be a primary threat in the offense, not a ball boy for DDR. People talk about culture. Well, what is the cultural signal sent when you keep old baggage on the team because you think it's going to provide some...

    Are you talking about showcasing them? I think that scene is done already. To me the key thing is having a direction with the emphasis on youth. It doesn't have to be 100% youth, but guys like DDR and LaVine have got to go

    You can't get real information if the vets are taking away minutes from the youngins. I can live with a rookie not being "given" minutes, but not young vets like Keegan and Ellis. Keegan can't be a 4th or 5th option on this team. Makes no sense. I'm not going to give up hope on Perry quite...
