Sasha signed!!!

[SLAB]

Sasha is the current front runner for ROY.

Did Victor’s leg fall off when I wasn’t looking?

Will Sasha help the team win more than others? That’s a higher probability. He isn’t going to have the usage to match the bottom-dweller’s top picks.

You know, there is the possibility that Wemby won’t be as good as everyone expects this season. Or that he suffers a Chet Holmgren experience.

Chet Holmgren himself may have a decent shot at ROY if he's fully recovered and has been working on getting stronger etc. Lots of guys that missed their rookie year with injury have been really good that next season (Blake Griffin, Ben Simmons etc).

It’s gonna be really hard to manage our expectations when the season opener rolls around!

Oh fear not plenty of posters will be on here wailing and gnashing teeth about how the team is regressed treadmilled ETC to keep your expectations down.

I can’t imagine they would want him playing after the jet lag but I’d love to see him get a few reps in Vegas

I'm sure he will get some practice in after signing the contract.

I'm not in Sac - but would be great to get a group out there to greet him!

I haven't seen any word on when he arrives or where.

I fully agree.

Sasha I looks to be a seamless fit in our offense. The DHO, cutting, passing lanes, and spacing should benefit him tremendously. I can see him come in and average 12 ppg and 3-4 rebs in 18-22 mins per.

I was wrong about him coming over. I thought the comfort and familiarity would win out, and from what he said it almost did. But I'm glad he came over. He could be an integral piece on a championship squad.

I do think he is mentally unprepared for the welcome and love he is going to get here. I'm sure he has been told about it, but experiencing the real thing here in Sac is miles ahead of anything he can imagine.

I think Monte's moves, like last offseason, have been underwhelming to a lot of people as he didn't make a big splash, but I think like last year, the moves he made to shore up a roster built around Fox and Sabonis (and Murray also) will pay dividends on the court.

We are still getting slept on, even by some of our own fans, but I think that will change by mid December.

He’s pretty much paid to always knock down that open 3 welcome.

Just gonna say this about the HB signing vs going after a star SF/PF... aside from the ongoing Keegan/hole at SF/3 and D stuff...

I don't think HB would mind too much if Sasha exploded in the NBA and HB joined the bench squad. I think he honestly just wants to win. That's a very underrated aspect to his "game".

After watching the above video, I'm starting to think Vezenkov may be quite the phenomenon here in the NBA. If so...

Fox
Huerter
Keegan
Sasha
Sabonis

Is an absolutely insane lineup for offense. YEAH I HEAR YOU ABOUT DEFENSE. Please just allow me to salivate at how that starting lineup, if it all clicks, could break every single offensive team stat in the book.

Oh and btw Sasha led Euroleague in rebounding.

That video is bringing the hype! If he delivers, the. Sacramento just became a bigger threat.

And as far as defense, wouldn’t be shocked if we played a lot of zone type D or something Brown can cook up.
If the players can play team D we will be ok

His head shape/hair style is like Ricky from Trailer Park Boys he needs the facial hair to finish the look it would be amazing for potential marketing imo.

I always felt a little guilty watching that show, but damn if there weren’t a bunch of seasons that were just funny AF.

 

[iowamcnabb]

we know Sasha will be in Vegas. Do we know if he will play?

 

[HndsmCelt]

Rumor is that although he is a baccarat guy by nature he's willing to sit in at both blackjack and traditional five card stud. He does seem to consider Texas Holdem a bastardized American game that he will not play.

I dont think the Euro League MVP will be playing in Summer League.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Probably not but I want to see him play and I’m a paying customer and I’m always right.

As someone who has worked in retail much of his life, I can tell you that the customer is usually wrong.

Agreed agreed agreed. Isn't Brown a "defensive" coach after all?

I can't remember the source, but I did see last night on Twitter somewhere that Sasha was not playing in Las Vegas. I just remember thinking that our first chance to see him with the team will be the preseason games.
