just a curious question.... do the kings ever keep a player for good? I've seen other teams keep their players until they retire. I hope they never trade DMC or Evans. We never kept anyone as far as I know...

Either Jimmer or Brooks has to start, helps Tyreke a lot. I think Jimmer has a higher IQ and overall feel for the game than Brooks, Brooks is quicker and better at getting his own shot. Isaiah is much better when he has the reigns of the offense, which is why he looked good while Tyreke was hurt, and now is struggling again.

Jimmer and Brooks don't seem to struggle so much with screen either which throws off the entire defense. Guys blow by Jimmer sometimes but that doesn't cause as big of an issue as the screen/rotation problem.

A lot of truth to that. Reke pairs best with players who are comfortable, or willing playing off him, and they need to be able to shoot as well as handle the ball. Brooks showed he can do that. Without Reke when there was more of an onus on him to create he struggled. Jimmer showed tonight and previously has shown flashes of being able to do that. With his shooting ability it should work.. The question with Jimmer is his defense against starters.

IT is best with the ball and controlling the offense whereas Brooks/Jimmer are more than comfortable playing off the ball. Unfortunately with IT that works against Reke as Reke's touches are then limited. Really think IT is built for leading a 2nd unit and being a bench spark, in control of 5-7 mins per half.
