One of the best benefits of YTTV IMO. You've got 9 months to go back and watch.

Wasn’t Swipa barely 19 when he was measured at the combine (whereas Carter is 22 now)? It’s very possible De’Aaron grew a tad since then thus isn’t shorter than Carter. Just saying.

To piggyback your point here, another thing to consider is all the other GM’s, or at least most of them, understand the KINGS situation and the players they’d most likely prefer to offload for different talent. That makes it more difficult for Monte McNair in a sense because those GM’s, if they...

That's basically where I was going with this. I get that he has the length and athleticism to play against larger players. I am just questioning his mere 200 pound frame and overall strength at that size. Again, I'm not saying he can't do it. I'm just saying the odds suggest that it isn't very...

IDK about defending 4's, but I like the optimism from McNair and Carter. Sure, Carter might have the length and leaping ability to contest spot up shooting 4's, but defending them 101 is an entirely different thing. For instance, there are some here that believe that Domas is more a 4 than 5...

Unless my eyes deceive me, the player he blocked was Javian McCollum, one of OU's best players last season. McCollum is only listed at 6-2, but still an impressive feat on a catch and shoot.

People are allowed to be wrong. It's part of being human. Furthermore, it's easy to poke fun at old views through the benefit and gift of hindsight. However there was at least some rationale for why McNair believed what he believed about Davion back then and also some rationale for why he...

Solid points here, except the assertion that Fox is somehow forever doomed to endure a "midseason swoon" (unless I'm reading you wrong). That aside, I think you are on to something in your first paragraph. Part of it is the BPA mentality wrt to drafting Jones, Mitchell and now Carter, but the...

As far as I'm concerned that should have been a lesson learned back in 1984 when the Blazers passed on MJ because they already had Clyde and opted for position/need over BPA. While settling for position/need can work out from time to time, history has demonstrated that it's not the tactic with...

LMFAO. This point is GOLD. I can’t believe I missed it the first time through this thread. It adds more evidence to what I asserted regarding mainstream KINGS fans. They aren’t the most rational bunch, and often hypocritical.

Good point about Colby. I wasn’t even thinking about him. I can just see a scenario where Brown rotates Carter, Ellis, and Davion throughout the game to keep them fresh on defense. Almost like changing hockey lines. Swipa and Monk will get the majority of minutes, with those 3 filling out the...

Avdija is still a young developing player, but I don’t see the huge attraction. And for that package of assets? No thanks. That’s desperately insane. If the KINGS really want a player like Avdija, they can draft one for a lot less cost. Hell, they probably could have drafted one tonight, but...

Agreed about that. I just don’t see round 2 as compelling enough to warrant it’s own time on the main stage. Just get it over with already. But, yes, improve the coverage when you do. I mean, if round 2 isn’t important enough to cover w/o ads/interruptions — why does it need it’s own time slot...

Huerter, yes. But Davion can still have a role. We can throw waves of players at the opponent that are fiercely competitive and tenacious on both ends of the floor. Also, despite the recent rumors of him not being happy, I’m not sold on ditching Sasha just yet, either. Players that can shoot...

That wouldn’t be very KINGS fan-ish, now would it? ;) The same fans drawing conclusions now are the same ones declaring “bust” any time a player doesn’t dominate the first half of the first game of Summer league.

The NBA thinking they are the NFL by pushing round 2 to tomorrow is, well, not very self-aware. Adam Silver does lots of puzzling things.

If mainstream KINGS fans don’t like something, it’s probably the right move. I vividly remember being at ARCO in 1996 for the draft party and 90%+ of KINGS fans booed the Peja Stojakovic pick, all pretty much wanting John Wallace. More recently lots of fans panned the Keegan Murray selection...

Far as I can tell, MM has played the draft correctly ever since he’s been in charge. Tyrese Halliburton, Davion Mitchell, Keegan Murray, and now Devin Carter. Given his previous 3 FRP’s, he should get the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. It’s just too bad he wasn’t in charge from...

You need to think for longer.

Out of curiosity, would you have taken Carter over Knecht? I don’t pretend to know which is the better prospect, however it just seems to me that most everyone else is trying to load up on wings while the KINGS continue to load up on guards. I’m a firm believer in BPA regardless of position...
