We've been burned with projections way too many times, so i'm just going to wait and see how he looks in NBA games. If he's a really good defender against NBA guards, I'll be satisfied with that

Most GM's exaggerate about the wide range potential of their draft picks. Even Vlade got involved, telling everyone that Marvin Bagley would play some 3. Kevin Huerter can bring the ball up the court and switch onto a point guard, but is he really playing the 1?

Finding ways to lose, in large part because they still haven't figured out how to minimize open 3 pt looks.....and for whatever reason, most teams always seem to shoot their highest % against the Kings

Lets be real here and cut the exaggeration. The Kings aren't likely to have future plans for McDermott and have wanted to trade Huerter. At that point, a really good wing shooter on a rookie contract would have fit the longer term outlook, with the core roster that was in place

Did you understand the hand wringing when Keon Ellis was being played little and not at all? The point is that you can't really expect anyone to play well with minimal mistakes, when they have little feel for the game, because they don't play in the actual games.

Len is the same player he's always been. He's not perfect (what backup 7 footer is?), but is fully capable of doing what he did the last two seasons

Oh, Ok. So you're not really projecting for this season. More of a long term outlook. I don't doubt that Jones can keep playing hard defense. The question is will some of his offense translate? His shot hasn't been very convincing

Where does Huerter fit in? or is this assuming a trade?

but going back to....that you had them equal in the draft for the Kings pick. Right?

It's a log jam for sure. Someone is going to come out with the short stick....and maybe even two guys will

We've got 3 guards who have earned regular playing time and don't project for a trade. Unless you were thinking of Huerter for the longer term, a wing shooter would have really made sense. The guy is clearly an elite shooting talent

Point is, if you have two guys equal in projected value and NBA role/talent, wouldn't it make sense to then select for fit?

It's a bit tough to figure, given that Keon had earned the starting spot going into the season and Monk was given a big contract to be the 6th man. Knecht could have fit in with everyone, as a wing shooter. Assuming they were to move Huerter, like they had tried to

I thought you said you had Knecht right there with the Carter pick?

or if he looks real good, then they will "have to" trade Keon, who is probably the best value contract in the league? Could be a situation

Gotta give them credit. Played perfect down the stretch and looked like a champion

Is Carter taking Keon minutes this season? Trying to picture how this is going to unfold

With McDermott. The guy can "space" as well as anyone. Can't leave him open at all

The Sabonis unforced turnover with just over a minute to go, was killer

Damn. They finally drew up an actual play. Been waiting for that, just didn't get it
