I also think it would be better to the development of WCS and Bogdan, if they played more with Koufos he doesn't need the ball to be effective, hustles and sets great screens and is in the right place. Would take alot of defensive pressure off WCS not having to play with randolph. I also think Bogdan/WCS/Kofous would be better PnR defenders

Hill was always a defacto small 2, not a main ball handler. He needs ball handling duties split up for him to be effective, Buddy is a SG but also needs a defacto guard to set him up. Hill + Buddy is a disaster. Bogdan + Anyone is good.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not that surprised the Kings aren't doing that well tonight. They do not match up well with the Grizz. And from what I've seen, the rim isn't being very kind to us right now. Add in a deplorable lack of effective defense and it's pretty easy to see why we're losing.

I hope Frank Mason is okay. We do not need him to be hurt.

It's isn't down all the way, but no question, this is circling the drain. We've seen it before.
Nope. Not buying it. Sorry, STK, but the exaggerated "woe is me" crap is silly. "Kids not giving fans hope"? Ridiculous.

Now, I'm going to go back to watching my Kings, win or lose. After watching Playing To Win last night and recalling how close we came to losing EVERYTHING, I can handle a bad game, especially when I see reasons to be optimistic about the future.

Have a good night. I LOVE THIS TEAM!!

I agree with you, it's negativity pointed in the wrong direction because the situation has been the major player there, but the point remains. Go around and read some comments, people for the umpteenth year again think the Kings just tanked more drafts. That's how bad running a team like this can get.

You know, I don't say this very often about a former King, but I'm glad to see Tyreke doing well. He had a lot of pressure put on him by the Maloofs his rookie year and I honestly think it affected his development for years to come. That and the recurring injuries just seemed to block him from being the best he could be. It's good to see him coming into his full potential.

Well it took Tyreke nearly a decade to find a consistent outside shot. If he had done it in year 2 or 3 he would be a multiple time all star. Injuries were obviously the other big issue.

Uh, lets see here. Number 1 he's playing a little over his head, but what kind of rotation was he playing in last year? Bingo!
Dude looked like he was playing in quicksand last season. He looked done.

And obviously every team in the league felt roughly the same as he's close to a minimum deal, if I recall correctly.
