Hall of Famer
I think now that Mikki is settling in with the Kings and with Hawes showing that he has at least a glimmer of an idea of how to play NBA style, we won't see SAR again and just a few cameo appearances by KT. That should satisfy most people including me.
I don't know if Mikki will have many games that duplicate this last one but those stats on the last 5 games show something encouraging. I wonder if Mikki's incessant clapping is inspiring Brad 'cause Brad seems to be having a better year than last - but that's another story.
Petrie's decision to use the MLE may have been a good one. It was an attempt to improve this team at a position that had no real starter. (If you look at Mikki's contract and the team's cap position as a whole now and in the years ahead you will see that his contract doesn't hurt us at all.)
It appears that Mikki WILL contribute and his bad hands will be less of a part of his game.
He said he was nervous when he came here because he knew that finally someone put some money on the line and expected him to produce. It put pressure on him. Maybe he's settling down. Hey, he's human.
I like the guy and have from the beginning. It's just difficult sometimes to say something that goes against the flow as you risk taking flack. His clapping has made him a butt of jokes yet at the same time there are complaints that no one is cheering the team on. Mikki ahas always been a lead cheerleader and there's nothing wrong with that.
