Honestly, I think Tristan is going to be fighting to remain in the league next season. Maybe he'll find a role but good teams aren't going to look at him as anything more than depth. If you can't guard pick and roll to that extent, good luck sticking as a part of a 9-10 man rotation.

I think he's fine as vet depth on a contender that maybe needs him 8-10 minutes a night. But good lord, his time of being an actual big minutes rotation player are long gone.

Monte's 1 big miss in dealing Delon Wright for him.

 

[The_Jamal]

Both are bench bigs.

Being able to start on 15 teams is a weird way to describe a bench big

Delon's currently averaging 2.9/2.6/2.1 on 14 minutes a night so maybe we can call that move a wash for now lol

 

[Woot!]

Buddy - 0-6 w/4 turnovers.

Sigh.

Buddy - 0-6 w/4 turnovers.

Sigh.

1st round pick is fair

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy finally hit one!

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy with two in a row!

 

[Tetsujin]

Metu with the hook! Kings only down nine!

 

[Woot!]

Just different levels of ball movement and purpose offensively for these two teams.

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy feeling it now

 

[The_Jamal]

Buddy is 100 or 0. Never like a nice 69

 

[Tetsujin]

BUDDY IS en FUEGO

 

[Woot!]

Metu and TT pass out of the low post only as a last resort. Not selfish players, but blinkered.

 

[Tetsujin]

Just clear the floor and let Buddy and Steph have a shooting contest lol

 

[The_Jamal]

Im just imaging Holmes on all these Hali middle PnR's. It's going to be beautiful.

 

[Tetsujin]

ELF kicks!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

The higher usage version of Haliburton has me intrigued. The dude finds all kinds of angles to the rim

 

[Capt. Factorial]

ELF kicks!

Shouldn't Buddy be wearing those?

 

[Woot!]

Not a good night to go 7-12 from the line.

 

[Tetsujin]

When did Metu learn this running hook?

 

[The_Jamal]

A lot more creativity/craftiness than I expected. Which makes sense since he's not the most overwhelming athlete

 

[EIM86]

Maybe Buddy should only shoot in 2nd half from now on

 

[miltonap]

keep fighting boys

As it's been for the last year plus, the only thing keeping Tyrese from becoming elite is Tyrese himself.

It's definitely an attack style from the Harden/Luka school. Attack creases and use your body to draw fouls/create space

I mean, what this is showing is either just a total coaching/scheme failure not to get him the rock more or Hali having to overcome some confidence issues not looking for his offense. Regardless, cat's out of the bag now, any game he's not getting 10+ shots at a minimum is an offensive failure

 

[The_Jamal]

Metu cuts have been excellent

 

[Tetsujin]

Steph poking Buddy in the face is a foul on Buddy.

 

[KainLear]

Metu cuts have been excellent

Yeah, this could speed up Metu's growth and potentially make moving Bagley an easier decision.

 

[KainLear]

Steph poking Buddy in the face is a foul on Buddy.

Just continuing the tradition of Kings players fouling opposing star players with their faces.
