Welcome Devin Carter

[Krunker]

Since the Kings need someone who can hit threes in a bad way, I expect Carter will be brought up sooner rather than later

Bring him up to the next game, we lose nothing.

Carter has been recalled from Stockton. He could easily make his NBA debut tomorrow night.

I like the high arc on his shot. Really opens up the cylinder and minimizes rim outs

If he does hopefully it's in limited minutes, which I mean, obviously it will be anyway haha. It's going to take a week or two for him to even get his legs for sure. And that's not even considering rhythm. At least now we have something to look forward to if the Kings really give up and there's garbage time a plenty.

Gosh if whatever reason he plays instead of Keon Ellis please I don't get the Keon Ellis thing so we need someone who is going to play defense so if he's the one that can get playing time ok

Early call: If they're not going to look to trade Fox, they should look to move Monk.

They should just fix the lineups

I want to see an identity change and one that fits Doug Christie, with Keon and Carter handling the combo guard minutes.

This happens, if they can move Monk and Huerter......or Fox

It’s time to give up this fantasy of Keon getting more than 20mpg atleast on the kings. We have no bench and he still can’t play trading Huerter won’t matter when Carter will just get those minutes

I'll never give up on players who deserve more time, eventually getting that chance

Makes sense that he isn’t playing but the only way to get in game shape is to play in games. Could he get spot minutes for a week or so?

I bet they get some good solid practices in with him first. He looked winded in the game last night but he played a decent amount of time. Just keep increasing his activity levels, and like you said, maybe spot minutes to start.

Doggone. I thought he might at least get his feet wet. How many more days do you guys think it will be? The Kings play Memphis on Friday.

I doubt it'll take long. Who knows, they might even send him back down to the G league, I can't remember what the rules are. They probably brought him up so they could practice or something. My guess would be an easing in process. A few minutes here and there and ramping up.

No one who’s ever had the confidence to dress like this has ever gone on to be a bust (plz don’t google this)

Thanks, had no idea they were called the Friars.

Posting “Friar” everywhere is the Rhode Island version of people who’ve never actually even been to the state of Alabama spamming “Roll Tide” every college football season.

If you are into comps, solid article.

Well it will be interesting to see how Carter develops as a player. Via wingspan he is actually longer than Holiday but in standing reach he is 2.5” shorter.

To me Carter has a very similar body type as Harrison Barnes. Harrison was a good but not great defender. If Carter is as good as many think we will again have an unsustainable log jam for minutes at guard.
