Love it! New DC can learn from the OG DC. We might have a All-NBA defense talent on our hands, guys.Memphis made this video:
Kings fans being completely fine with adding a guard when it’s Caruso but losing their absolute crap when it’s Carter is peak Kings fan

Literally everyone loves this for the Kings except for Kings fans.
I think these playoffs more than anything showed that having multiple elite POA defenders is the most effective way to build a defense in this league more than wing length or goalies or whatever. Kings now have four different guys (Keegs, Keon, Davion, and now Devin) who have shown various levels of being shutdown elite point of attack guys with Fox also fully capable of flipping a switch and annihilating plays POA when needed as well.Love it!

His wingspan helps stretch his smaller statue, he definitely plays way bigger than he is billed. I think there's a reality where he plays big minute with Monk and they gonna combust! He could eventually becomes our point-of-attack defender on the shorter players to share defensive duty with Keegan on the taller wings.
Awesome. Carter was right up there on my wish list and I assumed he'd be gone.
Why is everyone saying Kings fans are upset? Is this coming from Twitter? I haven't seen any negative reaction but I avoid the cesspit that is twitter.
Fans generally don't know much at all about college/rookie talents and don't bother enough to research it for how vary the outcome can be. So on paper, we drafted another guard who's 6'2", 6'3" with shoes and not understanding the nuances and worry that we'll forever have an inbalanced rosters because Monte McNair doesn't know how to properly make trades or Sacramento not being a town that thrills free agents.Awesome. Carter was right up there on my wish list and I assumed he'd be gone.

Because he's a guard. That's it. And the best part is we're getting pretty much universal praise for Carter as one of the best picks thus far....outside of Kings fans
I was more asking where is this negative reaction being seen? The reaction is overwhelmingly positive on this site. I'm assuming twitter.
Drafting for need is proven to be an awful strategy in the majority of cases. You sort out your needs via trades and FA. It's amazing that some people still can't grasp this.
I find it hilarious that after years of Kings fans begging their GMs to just draft BPA and ignore need, when we finally have a GM that does exactly that, the same exact Kings fans are now begging for him to draft for need.Should have been drafting BPA since 2006. Good pick.

I just don't care whatsoever about the "logjam". Trade them
he did say the same with Davion didn't he? or something along those lines
