Buddy might be better than Dell or soon will be. I recall Curry dropping those bombs (2s-3s) mostly running off well set picks set for him. Buddy uses picks too but seems to slip open easier for his wide open shots.

The thing is that Dell was probably a little too far ahead of his time. Imagine him playing in the modern NBA where players can put up over ten 3 pt attempts in a single game with some regularity.

I do think Buddy is better though.

The offense adds a completely new dimension when he's on the floor. All of a sudden, cutters matter and it's another thing defenses have to guard. I think he gets way better once he gets more run with Buddy/Fox too. Now imagine once he learns to shoot a bit?

So much this. Yogi misses him cutting at least twice a game, and already missed him once to jack a three.

Harry may already be the best passing big man the Kings have ever had.

hmm very provoking statement. Here's what I'll say though.... the Kings wasted Boogie's passing years by not being able to surround him with shooters. Do you remmeber when teams would triple team DeMarcus in the post knowing his teammates can't hit open shots? Probably some of the most frustrating times as a fan...

It will forever saddens me the Kings failed him so hard. That’s for another thread though. :p

I'd say his shooting is pretty good thus far! The only thing overrated about him IMHO is his rebounding. He's pretty average in that department (watch him get 12 this game now that I said that).

But yeah, the passing is gonna be extra nutty as chemistry grows between Harry and everyone else! Lots of easy baskets in the future with Giles out there.

The Kings as a franchise have had an embarrassment of riches of big men passers. The fact that Harry may be the best is more an endorsement of his sheer potential than anything else.
