Richaun Holmes Appreciation Thread

❤❤❤❤❤

One more thing? His mom is a true jewel in the crown. Her enthusiasm is so infectious.

He is not fouling as much and is more aware of it.
He really is a difference maker in the middle. He is quick off his feet and has great hands. He is big enough to be physical against anyone. His pit bull attitude is maybe the best part. The guy is a really good defender and getting better with Walton.
He can be a dominant rebounder.
His passing is good and he does not turn the ball over. It can get better.
I really like watching Mr. Holmes make foul shots.

Good lord. I certainly don’t miss seeing this crap defense in close games:

Holmes and CoJo have been so good that the team has shown signs of improvement despite missing Fox and Bagley. The team will be solid from top to bottom when they're back.

 

[jellyfish]

Aside from everything else he brings the guy will have a elite highlight reel at seasons end as well

 

[Cojc]

Sometimes you just have to be in the right position to get your chance to really show your skills.

Bagley going down and Dedmon with his slow start
Has been given a great opportunity to achieve good things.

This guy needs to be on the floor as much as possible!

Thank you Vlade

Mr Holmes is the best defensive Big Man the Kings have had since................well............EVER!

I got back to Sam Lacey in KC before there was even someone else to think about, and he was a completely different kind of player.

 

[ppine]

The anti-Willie is pretty close. The video up top is pathetic. I am happy that we made the change.
Thanks for playing defense Mr. Holmes.

Keon Clark and Scot Pollard were solid. But Keon was a stick figure and Pollard was decidedly unathletic. So Holmes just might be the best defensive big man, at least since Michael Smith roamed the court...

Perhaps you’re forgetting that we had Bill Russell?

What? No love for Yogi Stewart?

Chuck Hayes?

I would point out that while not shot-blocker, Brad Miller was a really good team defensive center. He moved his feet well & used his size to his advantage.

Sam Dalembert was a pretty good defender

I thought we were talking about the roaming the court, not the golf course.

Bill Russell forgot we had Bill Russell

Bill Russell was the greatest defender in the history of the NBA.

Bill Russell was the greatest defender in the history of the NBA.

He was also a very very very crapty coach

Defense aside (btw he's also switching alot on to the perimeter, yet manages to protect the rim), I really appreciate his ability to finish inside or draw fouls. Super patient, good hands, strong finisher. The anti-JT/every other big we've had the last 10 years.

Bump this thread??? It'll NEVER die!!!
He goes full tilt 100% of the time. As long as he's in our uniform, this thread will keep on keeping on!!

 

[Hoovtrain]

LOVE this guy

 

[midtowner]

What’s up? Holmes.

 

[sactowndog]

Let’s be honest, Luke was millimeters from waiting too long to bring Richaun back into the game: Richaun +5, Bagley -4. The defense solidified when Richaun came back in.

The real point is, millimeters or not, Luke DIDN'T wait too long.

Such a buzz kill.
