DOMANTAS “NBA Malpractice” SABONIS
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
It's so encouraging that he has risen to the challenge and is really leaning into taking the 3 point shot. There have been multiple times in the past two weeks where he hasn't hesitated when he's open and the shot is so pure. The cool thing is that either he will keep having open 3's, or defenses will start to challenge him and it will open another part of his driving/playmaking game. I'm excited to see that development.
On top of the 3 point shot, he has improved his FT this season to 78% from 70% last year (74% each of the last two seasons before).
I love watching guys improve their game

True King.
Domas loves the game. He is passionate about it. I'm watching since he was 15 years old ugly duckling. Couldn't hit a free throw. Nothing much in the paint. Except one thing. Rebounding. Undersized, but big bones with nasty meat. In the early years it looked like most of his rebounds, especially on the offense, he just "willed in".
I watched lots of Gonzaga games, some Thunder's, maybe 90% of Pacers games.
No need for me to write a book. Domas always worked like a maniac on the areas of basketball game where he needed to improve. Before this season it was a bit of gain and loss. If he got much better in a new aspect of his game during the summer or working in the gym way past the midnight (moves in the paint, free throw shooting, long ball, learning to use right hand, dribbling, midrange...), the things that he used to do very well before the upgrade in other parts, would decline a bit. Now we see him peaking. Everything that he trained hard on has molded into one wholesome. Yet, the drive for the game is the same. Just now in the grown-mans body. Exceptionally strong, just ripped. Fast, quick, explosive. Very well coordinated.
Currently, once again - leads the league in rebounds (14.2 per game), double-doubles (33).
Top 10 in FG%, minutes played.
Leads Kings in assists.
DOMAS SHARES 2nd - 3rd PLACE IN NBA IN 3PT% with Luke Kennard, both at 45.9%.
I think we all can agree that he is a type of player that strong teams are built around. Coaches know what they have, players love to be around him. Never has a game-off. Damn, even a possession off is hard to remember quick.
No need to talk about the last game. Just treasure it
And all was done with ZERO trips to the line
Sure, I loved for the Kings to have 0-0 record instead of very dangerous 19-19. Yet, as of now, we look at the next 44 games with completely different expectations. Will we win or lose? Final whistle will tell. But Kings will fight.
