Welcome Devin Carter

[iowamcnabb]

Or just shoot 33 percent from 3. That’s attainable and if he brings us the juice defensively and on the boards that will be y just fine

 

[luckytkp]

Devin, you are now truly a King.

Idk if anyone else sees this, but he kind of reminds me of Monk.

if he is Monk on offense and Keon on defense that would be insane.

I don’t have any production expectations but I really want to see an energizer bunny out there. He has the hare for it. Hahahahahaha

Kings rookie Devin Carter is playing his first game since being drafted for the Stockton Kings.

He knocked down an off the dribble PnR triple then had this nice coast-to-coast finish. Short first stint for him. pic.twitter.com/YEo45bTMgw

Kings saw Devin do this and presumably immediately pulled him to have him get to the airport to play in LA in two hours.

Bigger players tend to make the mistake of thinking they can easily body Carter out of the way. They are usually wrong.

ANOTHER three for Devin Carter, and a steal in transition. The Kings rookie is putting on a show. pic.twitter.com/Wz9WCy6kWF

Absolutely part of what makes him a special prospect. He's a freaky athlete, but dude is a bowling ball on the court, on both ends. He's looking to take and absorb contact.

 

[Tetsujin]

Devin Carter. You are getting me way too excited.

29 points on 11-15 FG, 6-8 from 3, 4 rebounds and 3 stls in 19 minutes.

That sounds like a guy who is begging to play the Mavericks on Monday.

I watched the Stockton Kings tonight. Devin does a lot of things I like. He has dog in him for sure and plays defense and offense. Never quits on the court. Was gassed but still impressive. Makes me think we need a team of dogs instead of players that only half way play.

 

[MelTurpin]

Love his upside. He did take a lot of tumbles on drives. Also I believe he needs a bit more time to set himself up for a shot when he recieves the ball behind the 3pt line, which might be half a second he gets in the G League, but not in the NBA. Combined with a somewhat low release, it could mean he gets his shot blocked quite a bit. But, as I said, love the upside. I think he could be an AS down the road.

We went to the game. He lost a couple of TOs and looked, as you said, gassed at times. But the man has talent and never quit on a play. He's a lot of fun to watch and overall had a pretty darn good night. Looking forward to seeing him play for Coach Christie.

I posted about this in a different thread but blocked 3 pointers don’t happen as often as one might think. I dont recall the team or the number but the squad with the most blocked three pointers in the league had around 20 on the season. This was probably 7 or 8 games ago so it came out to be less than one per game. Having said that, the slow and low release might be easier to contest resulting in more misses.
