I told ya all Carter is going to be special. It is the ONLY reason I am tuning to watch after firing Brown. I actually don't want Doug to take him...I think he will learn to be better against Brown.

ummm…. I think you should pay attention to this new and improved Kings team.
They can become something very special.

That's confidence and not being afraid of the moment. Carter is going places.

I was super stoked to see Kim English, Devin's coach at Providence College, in the stands tonight next to Wes. Kim played at Mizzou, and he is to Mizzou what Doug Christie is to Sacramento...a beloved True Son who represents the best of who your program is. He played under Mike Anderson and Frank Haith, did a stint with the Pistons, and a couple of years in the Euro League.
Knowing who Devin's mentor is makes me even more excited about his potential. If he blows up, I wonder if English might get an assistant coaching opportunity with the Kings? My Mizzou heart can see him taking over when Christie retires after multiple championships, but I suppose it's possible that I'm getting ahead of myself...

In the live action of this play last night, I saw him mouth "Ok, here we go" as he came across half court. He had made up his mind that he had a flow going and this was his time

Or this rookie would never have seen the floor. And if he did, and made any sort of mistake, would have been denigrated, while sitting on the bench DNP-CD for the next several games. Count on it. Carter is fortunate his confidence and psyche were not damaged by playing for Brown.
This team is alive under Christie rather than "death by a thousand cuts" under Brown.

I love how DLo and KC are writing off Carter after a handful of games. You can totally tell what he can be in 3 minutes of action

Morons. The fact that his per minute stats maintain is a GREAT sign. If he didn't D up be concerned. The Kings have put him in the ultimate tough spot and even the per minute stats jive with STAR. Let them doubt.

I swear I just said this. Monte been planning for this move for years. He's playing chess while we are playing checkers.
Granted he ain't a chess master, but still he has saved himself for 1 more year
i think we're gonna need Carter to start showing a bit more of why we drafted him... he's going to be a 23-year-old rookie pretty soon here
Might help if he got more than 1 3-minute stint in the 1H of games.
I am not sure he will get more as Lavine basically takes Fox's minutes.
We did give up two guys in our guard rotation and got one back. And I think Lavine will probably need to play less minutes than Fox.

we should have let Carter play in Stockton for 10 games. He still looks gassed when he plays. He could have been playing 30 min instead of 4. but here we are, gotta give him 15 plus and see what he can do
Lately Huerter has been getting like 6-10 minutes per game, but we can probably expect the lion's share of that to go to Carter.

Exactly. This is a rookie playing impossible stretches after missing most of the season at the toughest position in basketball to learn. Again, the great news is that the productivity is there even with that said.

And his wrist has been bothering him. We can only hope they were waiting for this to happen. Carter was getting some rhythm going but then got pushed back and it's been up and down. Was that the wrist? Was that this impending trade? Was it Christie? I guess we'll find out. I will say, the interesting thing is that like in that clip in the game against Boston they were allowing him a lot more pick and roll earlier. The last 5 games or so he's really been more of a cutter and a spotter. Hopefully the Minny game is one where he gets the green light and gets the chance to work through any jankyness.

Carter with 24 points in the first half. He dominates the G League every time he’s down there, a sign of a clear NBA player. Anyone writing him off already is foolish imo. He hasn’t had any sort of consistent playing time since returning from injury and has not been able to develop a rhythm since then. I think he’ll be big for us next year.

This guy has unlimited potential on both ends. Keep the development going! High defensive floor, higher ceiling.
