It's not really planned. It's the end result of not getting separation from his defender.
Yeah I think Perry wants him to play point. With him and Ellis the Kings would have a pretty long back court.
Raynaud damn near crossed his feet on his defensive slide. His defensive fundamentals are so bad. I think he will get a bunch of G League time playing the 4 but I think lots of room for improvement.
with Nique on the team it dosent really matter that carters not a pure pg. they fit well together.
I don't know what you are talking about.
Carter’s problem is where does he get minutes.
Yeah, it seems his offensive iq is as high as his defensive iq is low. Kinda like sabonis.
I think with what Clifford has shown he gets minutes at the point and some 3 small ball minutes.
Fine. Where does he get minutes?
Well…he doesn’t…unless there is another move made. Have you seen people on this forum claim that he’ll get minutes if our roster remains as is? I haven’t but perhaps I’m wrong.
The sad reality is teams are entering the season cautious about salary and paying good money to guys that create roster redundancies and we somehow managed to create a roster where 3 guys occupy our top 4 pay slots and effectively play the same position and "need" to start.
He’ll figure it out as the game continues to slow down for him. Not saying he’s on the same level as Fox, but i remember it took Fox a couple seasons to develop a floater of some kind and look like he knew what he was doing in the painted area or in transition.
Apparently it was a response to Ballmer but why the players accepted it is beyond me. It was obvious on first read it was bad all around just from the perspective of keeping homegrown (draft) talent on standard 2nd contracts. On the other hand it makes it clear that not every player who isn't a bust is a max player, which never sat well with me either.
I have said repeatedly it is really really hard to trade small for big. It’s why you don’t draft a Carter or Davion in the lottery. Both were horrendous picks and you can see why. The Warriors see little value in a cost Controlled Carter. The team can’t give Monk away.
That is not quite accurate. The top six salaries for next year are, in order, for LaVine, Sabonis, DeRozan, Monk, Schröder, and Murray. No one else currently on the team will make over $10,000 this coming season. Of those six, the redundancies are at small forward (Murray, DeRozan) and shooting guard (LaVine, Monk). And Keegan, of course, plays out of position at power forward.
The 3 of 4 players I was talking about are Monk, LaVine, DeRozan. I understand that in the modern game Deebo is slotted at the 3 but the reality is he doesn't play defense and occupies a spot that might be better left to Keegan Murray. The fact that all 3 of these guys are redundant and all want to start is a major issue. We should have never brought LaVine in while both Monk and Deebo were still here.
