Because it's a significant improvement over last year.I find this interesting from the team's twitter feed.
How about getting a plus defender at some point, then?
More evidence our FO and coaching staff are not on the same page.
If this were true or a priority, then why today did we just try to re-sign IT with the apparent plan/hope of running out a Collison/IT/Stauskas/Ben backcourt?

Ken Berger: Kings scouring the market for a shot-blocker or stretch-four to play alongside DeMarcus Cousins, league source says. Twitter @KBergCBS
Only half of that tweet is good news. Shotblocker yes, but no way do we need some soft stretch 4 considering how non-defensive our roster is right now.

Like I said in the other thread, I'll take this as lip service until I see us actually add a defender rather than another shooting softie.

Not really. Vonleh was billed as a stretch four, but if you look at his shot charts he really didn't take that many shots from the perimeter. See here: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/the-nba-draft-illustrated-shot-charts-for-the-lottery-picks/
This year Vonleh really seemed to be the prospect where perception least resembled reality.
True but he did hit close to 50% of his 3's on one attempt per game. That at least suggests he can shoot, though you'd like a larger sample size.

A PG guard rotation of Payton and Ray, with SG's..... Ben.....
I'm seeing the lottery balls again.
You're forgetting we'd have the money we used on Collison to bring in another guard.

Thats what im talking about. Wish the front office would come out of the closet about their defense and admit they only like offense.

appropriate time to quote myself after letting IT walk and ray mccallum's great summer league game. we are in some trouble now!
Yes please, keep quoting your complete misunderstanding of how statistics work. It's so enlightening.

Not sure what you're trying to say but the head coach of the team is virtually NEVER the summer league coach.
Just so you know? There's NEVER an appropriate time to quote yourself, unless you're admitting you were wrong about something. Anything else just makes you look like an arse.

Chris Jent was the one in that quote, and he was supposed to be the summer league coach until Corbin took over.
