Welcome back Quincy Acy

[ShastaKingsFan]

Acy and Reggie were both nice reserve bigs to have we traded Acy since we didnt need both players. As quincy is younger he is a good 4th or 5th big good scrapper he played pretty good for knicks. I thing he could be our next Omri comes in as 3rd string and could fight his way up to be part of bench mob running down floor with omri

That's a good thought,...he is a guy who can get up and down well in a Karl style offense.

The other positive is that he's tight with both Rudy and DMC. Another good chemistry move

 

[DesertFox]

Hmm, I see Acy and Moreland as more 5th big on a good team. Maybe the Kings hope between the two somebody emerges.
If Gay/Casspi and even Butler steal some pf min then maybe that will cushion the pt.

I'm just a little worried about having a rookie as the last stand between Acy or Moreland seeing 20+ min

 

[upinsmoke]

Thing is, he's not actually a hustler. That was the unfortunate revelation with him. He's a scrapper -- on a play where he does go after the ball he'll stick his nose right in there and size issues aside really fight for the ball. but you watch him play play to play and he stands around a LOT. Not at all a high energy/motor relentless pursuit guy.

Anyway, like his attitude. But he's one of those guys who's image and flashy one off plays conceal an empty portfolio. A scrapper's Derrick Williams.

I whole heartedly disagree. D-won't has 10x the talent as Acy but for whatever reason most likely work ethic has never put it together. If Acy was as lathargic as you implied he wouldn't be in the league.

 

[ockingsfan]

Quincy has a pretty nice 40 min per game stat line of: 12.4pts/9 reb/2 asst per game and his 3 pt shot at 30%, not great but improving.

He will probably be the 4th big and back up the Power Forward spot.

Nice addition and a good 9th-11th man.

He will be a good chemistry guy and I do think he is a hustle guy.

 

[steelevt]

. Hope he's worth the money.

Michael Scotto reported Quincy Acy back to SAC. 2 year minimum at $981k and $1.05m. Not salary reimbursement because of a 2 year deal.

About a million a year. Not exactly breaking the bank. I can live with it

 

[KingsCitizen]

Actually Acy's perimeter seems to have gotten quite steady since his move to the Knicks last season.
So this is a most welcome return, especially with his contract size

Well see, that's the best part of this signing.

He barely is.

And he is every bit as lethargic as I implied -- or less lethargic than having no instincts. I have watched him closely for 2 years now -- remember last year he was right in my backyard. I like Acy as a personality, but he is very much a pull the wool over fans' eyes guy. He blinds you with one spectacular play per game. Makes you forget he hasn't been making many of the meat and potato ones the rest of the way.

The upside is that he is another lunchpail pal for Cuz. That alone is worth the contract, just not much going on on the court itself.

Every team needs its Laurence Funderburke-type nice teammate guy who isn't particularly good at anything but happens to be everyone's BFF.

People forget that Fundy could actually play. He was quite effective early in his career as a scorer. Nothing else, but he was a godo NBA undersized scorer (gee this franchise has never had any of those).

And Acy is not only a solid choice, but a flat good one for a 12th/13th man. If the coach doesn't **** it up our chemistry could be as rock solid as Rondo let's it be. The problem here is the impression that he may in fact be being signed as a rotation player. And Quincy Acy is only a rotation player on terrible teams like ours and New York last season. if we get somebody in ahead of him and he's Big #5, hey no complaints at all. If this is the guy we are brining in as an alternative to starting WCS...no.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I didn't forget; Funderburke is still my all-time favorite King, even ahead of Gerald Wallace.

DeMarcus Cousins ‏@boogiecousins 10m10 minutes ago

The Happier Boogie is with everything involving the Kings and his teammates, the more likely he will be able to relax on the court and let down his guard when it's time to play for Coach Karl.

If Karl is able to get Acy as a supporter, I think DMC will be more amiable to a reconciliation with Coach Karl!

MO HAPPY, MO BETTER!

 

[The Hammer]

I didn't forget; Funderburke is still my all-time favorite King, even ahead of Gerald Wallace.

Funderburke was fantastic. Always produced at a high level even in limited minutes. One of the best 11th-13th men I've ever seen. Damn that team was talented.

 

[NewArena]

Well...this was kinda my concern when we voided Luc's deal. I really like Acy as a person/friend of Cuz lockerroom type. But he's really not good at much of anything except the occasional big dunk. Rosterwise its a lot less solid move than signing a Mbah a Moute is if he's going to be Big #4, a roster position where you might actually call upon him to play against real NBAers form time to time.

Nonetheless, if he's somehow in a position where he never has to play real minutes at points in games we are trying to win, then I welcome Quincy back as a good lockerroom guy/bench cheerleader.

I actually remember him being able to hit the mid range J pretty well.

 

[IfAt1st]

I don;t understand something:

* We had Quincy Acy and Reggie Evans, and chose to retain Evans. Presumably because Evans was better.
* Evans seemed to have a fantastic relationship with Cuz.
* Now we aren't going to sign Evans, and get Acy back instead, and Acy has the great relationship with Cuz?

What changed?

Totally different coach and GM from last off season.

Acy plays faster than Reggie, Acy is more a Karl type player.

Luckily he is also great friends with DMC!

The front office man. Not that hard.

 

[Kingsgurl]

Gee, for someone no one wants to play with, DeMarcus seems to have a lot of really solid friends....... weird.

 

[KingsFanGER]

Not a good player by himself. But I think Rondo can cover a lot of his weaknesses on offense. As long as Acy can hit open jumpshots and rolls hard to the rim he can take the role of a poor mans Brandon Bass.
The defensive side of the court remains questionable.

 

[KingMilz]

I was going to post the same thing, then I saw he posted better defensive numbers that Mbah a Moute last year (the more negative the better):

Acy
Defense Category Diff%
Overall                 -3.3
3 Pointers        -11.2
2 Pointers         -0.9
Less Than 6 Ft         -6
Less Than 10 Ft         -6.1
Greater Than 15 Ft -1.4

Luc
Defense Category Diff%
Overall                 -3
3 Pointers         -2.3
2 Pointers         -3.4
Less Than 6 Ft         -2.7
Less Than 10 Ft         -4.8
Greater Than 15 Ft -1.5

I didn't watch the Knicks or Sixers except when we played them, so I don't know how that's possible.

Acy can actually defend stretch 4's really well that's his one specialty and hopefully his 3 point shot has come along even more this year. He's not a better defender than LRMAM it's not even close depsite what the numbers say.

I personally love Quincy he's one of my favorite players but he's not on LRMAM level unless his shot has really come along where he's a knockdown shooter now (which I doubt). I also hope Acy being on the team inspires other guys to have a beard like him.

 

[Kingsgurl]

Hence the reason he was not the first target and LRMAM was. That loss does change the complexion of what was hoped, but it is better to have found the issue during the physical, make our recovery moves now, rather than lamenting our snake bit injury history during the season when Luc's injury (whatever it is) sidelines him, or prohibits him from ever producing as we hoped and counted on. I was very excited about his potential contribution and mark on our identity, but I much prefer this timing

 

[SacTownGrantFan]

Now that it looks like Moute is out, it's important for either Moreland or Dukan to come in playing solidly at the 4 position.

It's only Summerleague, but Moreland looked good in Vegas.

What changed?

Front office stuff mainly...as the 3 of them are friends

 

[Jkbiker]

Well last summer Acy was our 5th of 6 bigs
Cuz,JT,Evans,Landry,Acy,Moreland
NY wanted him, agreed to excersise Option, Give him minutes (Got starting and backup min)
We did Acy a real solid
We dumped Outlaw contract (Could not be stretched)
We stretched Ellington, waved another player,
Made more room for Moreland and casspi

this year Acy has more experience, Replaces an older reggie
Maybe he will compete with moreland for 4th and 5th big spot
As the 4th bench big I can see either of the two useful
Depending on size matchups

 

[Jkbiker]

The other thing would be Who is gonna be the 3rd Big

If MCS then I like Acy paired with him

If Koufos then I Like Moreland paired with him

Brick, who on this team are going to be scrappers? And who are the hustlers?

PS I think in his entire tenure as a King I saw Derrick Williams fight for one or two balls. That's it. He was neither a scrapper or a hustler, imo. Just the opposite.

About D-Will, brick meant (imo) that Acy is like Derrick Williams only he is a scrapper unlike the coke machine...

And about out scrappers and hustlers- Casspi brought great hustle last year, an engaged Rondo (if he still exist) is going to make some hustle plays, WCS (if he's ready to play) can be that guy and Koufos will fight guys in the paint.

I'm not all that worried about that part of the team... I also think that if we can sign Miller our 3rd PG situation will be very good (look at other team's 3rd PG's and tell me how they are better than Miller) and it seems like Karl really wants him back (recently called him the smartest player he coached). it will be interesting to see how that plays out- if only to see how big Karl's voice still is in that regard.
The only on-court stuff I'm worried about right now is how Rondo will play and our PF spot... I don't think that the Koufos/Cousins duo is ideal, and I'm not thrilled to start trill, with Butler on board and considering Belinelli's abillity to play SF minutes- I don't hate the thought of starting Gay at the 4... but atleast until the season starts this position remains the biggest question mark imo.

 

['89 Kings Fan]

Acy had twice the reboundinv rate of DWill last year. He was better than Hollins and Landry and almost equal to JT. For the end or the bench cheerleader, I'll take it.
