We have every reason to play Bruno. Like others have already mentioned, I too am pro-lin, and I think he'll help in that department at this stage. More than that though, the kid is a natural 3, our biggest position of need. If we end up picking a big in the draft, we'll need to get a 3 via FA/trade (Vinsanity too won't be here next year). We at least need to see if he has the potential to stick around in NBA before we decide on him this summer.
[Game] Kings v. Timberwolves - Monday, Feb. 26 - 7 PT
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
Just finished the game
Buddy is coming on he’ll be very good off the bench
Skal will be very good as well just don’t post him up unless it’s vs a smaller player. He’s automatica in pick and pop and should be deadly with Fox. Hopefully he keeps improving his defense.
Fox is already a better shooter than we hooped he would be he’s now at 34% on 2 attempts. He’ll get better every year and off season
The Bruno hate is mind boggling I read the thread before I watched the game I was expecting to see him play an all time bad game and he didn’t.

Okay, Jertavious. You keep praising Coboclo's athleticism. I'll keep thinking of who we can get to fill his roster spot next season. 
Skal is young and developing, and has a good work ethic so I expect him to put on some muscle over time. He looks bigger than last year, and notably added in the summer. Very talented kid that whose future I look forward to. As of now the PF of the future
WCS...
But this is why we haven’t seen the thin towers as much, as there is no true defensive anchor in the pair, or someone checking the big boys and clearing boards. Skal can mature as a weak side shot blocker though

Again, I like what I saw from Skal. His confidence is growing and his shooting percentage is growing with it, or maybe vice versa. He certainly didn't get outplayed by Gibson; if anything Skal outplayed him. In a couple of years Skal will totally leave a guy like Gibson in the dust because he won't by out-physicalled by him at all in the post.
In my opinion, neither Bogs nor Fox has the edge that they had prior to the All Star break. They've both lost some mojo and the team's performance is suffering accordingly. The only guy to play better after the break has been Skal.
It's these kind of performances from WCS that make me skeptical about his long term future with the Kings. Sorry, I just don't see him as the answer at the center position. It could be a very good thing that this draft has several good big men in it.
Far too much dribbling and not enough passing from this young team, and Joerger mentioned as much. Speaking of Joerger, thanks, Joerger, for getting with the program and playing the youngins. We had a problem with the intra-office memo getting delivered, but it looks like the mail boy finally found your office.

You’re not the only one concerned about our bigs’ weak rebounding; namely WCS and Skal. Both are long and athletic and need to do better. But we also realize that neither one of them are the sort of bigs who plant themselves under the basket and pad their rebound stats (like a Reggie Evans or a Olden Polynice). Rebounds are important, but so is being active and effective on D. The kind of rebounder that I most appreciate is a strong defender who, in a crowd, is most likely to come away with the rebound (regardless of the stat sheet after the game).
If Giles pans out someone you can start (let's not talk stardom right now) or we pick a big in the draft, then you'd have to start wondering about it.
Now, I like WCS just fine, but I have to feel that he would be the most expendable of the bunch should that happen. An (apparently) motor workhorse like Giles or a man-among-boys like Ayton and you can get away with a more finesse player like Skal next to him. It might even be preferable to do that.

Time to play some catch-up on the game threads (work has taken over my life)...
I don't think I need to expand on this but, as almost every single person who has posted in this thread has mentioned, Goodness Me!!!!!!! We were taken to school in the "rebounding" department.....KAT, himself, took us to school. If anything, I hope this game was a learning experience and a serious eye opener for our bigs (WCS). We need to stop being so darn soft and the kids need to be willing to sacrifice their entire body to jump into the lane and battle for the darn boards.
With all of that being said. We are still young. We are still growing. And growing up we are seriously doing. I hope we don't ever stop growing. Like ever. This team is going to be fun to watch in the future (and the "future" might be here a lot sooner than most on this board seem to think it will......)
I am excited. Go Kings!
