Trying hard to think of a jacked shooter....no, they all seem pretty slim to me.
Great observation. When I think of a jacked person who could shoot I always think of David Robinson, but even then he wasn't more than a 15ft shooter. Dwight Howard was famously terrible outside of 10 ft. Maybe Davion would benefit from finding a happy medium that still allows him to be an elite defender, a Gary Payton type body maybe.

FYI. There is an athletic piece with some points re our defence so far. https://theathletic.com/3727471/2022/10/25/sacramento-kings-film-breakdown/
We made some mistakes. E.g., Fox missing a rotation. GS killing us in transition after made baskets. Brown identified them. We played better. In one example, Brown focussed more on Fox than that others as he is more important.
Edit. Maybe mistakes is not the right term. Maybe we have some behaviours?

Len actually makes some sense for them since Robert Williams is probably missing the year and they have no size.
The issue with a Celtics trade is that they’ve pretty much moved all their tradeable assets already for Brogdan and Derrick White unless they’d be willing to trade us Grant Williams for some reason.

Thinking about it during my bike ride in this morning. It's nice that we have not just upgraded from Walton to Brown but also that the athletic Kings pieces have shifted from Jason Jones's "The effort was poor" to pieces with more substance. Like "here is a missed rotation and here is the improvement".
I'm legitimately disappointed that 4 games into the season and Mike Brown decided to just throw rotations into chaos. No idea if we win that game or not if he sticks a bit more to what we were doing. But the couple things that I don't understand are:
1.) Holmes is lost. We don't know why, but it is obvious. A simple swap Len for Holmes minutes lets us get a picture of how bad that was.
2.) We went from starting Okpala, to basically not playing him in 2.5 games. Is he not able to come off the bench and play 5-7 minutes of defense a half?
3.) METU - just stop. please.
Right now what would make sense is a rotation of the following of something like this. There is your 240 minutes. Holmes needs to figure his crap out in practice.
Sabonis -34
Murray - 33
Barnes -32
Heurter - 28
Fox - 35
Davion - 16
Monk - 22
TD - 18
Len - 12
KZ - 10

Swindled?? That was a team-friendly deal by a loyal player who had other options. His reward is that now he’s getting treated like a guest who overstayed their welcome.
I think the eye injury and (legally debunked) accusations by his ex took a major toll on Holmes, but he has the motor and the competitive will. I hope he finds his way back to his trajectory.
