If he shoots sub 10 shots a game he will. Schroder scoring isn't a shock. On the teams he was able to be a primary option he's put up near 20 a game plenty of times over the years. On the Nets recently he was doing his thing too. The issue here is where are the shots coming from?
According to reports pretty much every Kings contract that is near the top of the cap sheet is of the undesirable level. Just history repeating anyway. 6th men making more than MLE money is beyond an acquired taste. Almost never fails.
Or do they just compromise like Giddey and the Bulls did. They essentially met in the middle. It's hard to understand why the Warriors don't just move off the team option in the 2nd year. A two year contract isn't crippling them lol.
In looking at the Mavs on paper I think it's a good shot that PJ is going to be a trade candidate again sooner than later. They obviously didn't want to lose him for nothing. If he's a 6th man that contract will look just as bad as Monks at some point .
Yeah, shot blocking at PF has never been much of a thing anyway. Historically Domas would definitely have been a PF but today the game is all about spacing, not physicality. We'll see if that changes. Even more so you need switchable guards that can guard on ball and still reliably switch to one...
That depends because it's not necessarily always defense based. Stats can be tough, unit stats are probably the closest to any true indicators. Stats will say a player who has a hand right in the other guys face on a shot that they hit 3 out of 4 times is a worse defender than one who stands 15...
No disagreement from me on that. Undoubtedly the franchise hasn't run towards players that will make this team better on defense and if there is any truth to the Carter rumors they are running away from their best potential shot on that end right now. Good defenders will make a difference but...
If Domas is the weakness no amount of size at 2-4 is going to make up for those lacks. Domas isn't a bad defender and we've seen blips of the Kings committing to switch. These days switch is more often guard based, not big based. But that's because as you speak of, most teams have legit...
There is definitely a talent downgrade in some spots. The Kings overpaid Lyles before and it was a pretty quick realization that they did when they tried to move him. Dennis is one thing, but Eubanks at his level and contract is what the Kings should have always been looking at in that spot...
Yeah, as said, defensive rating is a meh stat individually, still, those are pretty bad for individuals. His BPMs and defensive win shares are basic middle of the road or in the negative. He'll be better than Monk without question who is pretty horrendous on defense which all anyone needs on...
With the rumors we've heard almost none of what Perry has said has made much sense as of yet when related back to what he's done or is wanting to do. If rumors are true that is.
