They might not have lots of experience... This is still a pretty old roster for a SL team though..

Dude looks like he’s at least stayed in shape over the last couple of months. Dude came into summer league last season with an extra 15 or so pounds.I really hope Queta makes progress. He has a lot of potential, he has midrange, can pass, block, rebound, and pretty mobile for his size. He just needs to put it all together.

Kings guard Davion Mitchell, thrilled to be a rookie no more, talks about how he's more comfortable, assertive, as he helps prepare Sacramento's Summer League squad. Thoughts on Keegan Murray & Coach Mike Brown too.

I'm starting to lean that unless actual value is coming back in a Holmes deal, that we should just keep him and have that rotation spot locked down rather than screwing around and hoping Jones/Queta/Len can handle the spot. It feels like we've dismissed his previous 2 seasons and a good chunk of the early year; he was so bad to end the year, but I think it's understandable why he wasn't engaged on the court with all the off-the-court nonsense he was going through with his son, getting his eye poked like 4 times, covid. No, it's not a good fit with Sabonis, but he can be defensively and if Brown is a good coach with schemes; he should be able to find time for both to be on the floor together.
The Kings need good players and Holmes is an excellent one. He's 1 year removed from this in 20/21:
LEBRON- +1.8 (91%)
D-LEBRON- +0.9 (83rd%)
Defensive RPM- +2.3 (93rd%)
RATPOR- +2.1 (85th%)
LA-RAPM- +1.1 (81st%)
VORP- +1.2
WS/480: .165
66.9% TS
17.5% USG,
10.3% TOV
15.7% TRB
Net On/Off- +8.4
Basically, no dumping him. I'll take expensive, but elite 16-20 MPG production from Holmes over it being a potential weakness on the team.

Was kind of hoping they’d just leave Frankie Fordpinto in San Francisco.
If good Queta shows up and we see more Coleman/Steward, I think we can be competitive in SL again. Need some dudes to hit shots outside of Keegan.
