I might wrong here, but Sabonis seems like a defensive liability at center vs big guys like Nurk or Zubac, Id rather bench Barnes and start keegan at SF, put Sabonis at PF and let Len and Queta split time at center to protect the paint... We get fox to attack the basket, 2 good shooters with huerter and keegan, great rebounding with sabonis and paint protecting with either Len or Queta. Better this than seeing Barnes and Richaun embarrassing themselves for the rest of the year
wow I just can’t believe the free throw shooting. our Opponents starters didn’t miss a single free throw and ours missed like 10. All those tapes of our kings doing sprints after missing a free throw in training camp must not of sunk into their heads.
If that stat continues our whole team might be a candidate for our opponents using the hack-a-shak defense in crunch time.

This is spot on. Right now we seem to be trying to use Monk like rookie year Monk where there was still expectations that he could be a superstar scorer. He needs to be playing off Sabonis (assuming the real Sabonis shows up soon….) Are there any stats out there to show our +/- over the first two games when Huerter has played the 3? It’s hard to track sometimes in the flow of the game, but seems like it has happened a little bit. I really think he can defensively handle most 3s better than Barnes.
I can see why KZ is getting run. When Murray came in it was HB that went to the bench first which is great. I’d also move Murray into the lineup to start replacing HB.
Watching Clippers and their stable of big wings, I’m wondering if Brown might go Lyles as the stretch 5 AND play Moneke with Murray and Huerter and Davion…..when Clips go all wings lineup.
Was impressed with the D played by their all wing lineup. Some of those wings are not offensive but put them together and it’s length and quickness. Brown seems like a coach who will tinker and put lineups out there that will work.
But we need a much bigger sample size AND we need the 4 core guys to actually start playing to their potential to evaluate.

Not enough connectors on the team. While I don't disagree with your analysis, when he's on the court, there are too many dudes, who's first instinct is to dominate the ball rather to the move the ball via quick passes (ala GSW). Given the personnel, Davis is a much better fit, because Davis provides more defense (sorely needed) and a bit more on ball production (better handles, better drive and pop). Some dudes need to go for him to be maximized (likely, because of the contract) or he's going to be Holmes 2.0 post contract, post Hali.
