I know Fox was graded too low, but what caught my attention is how good and deep draft it was.

I read somewhere it was 98.2, but I haven't checked myself. Even that is pretty good. I didn't watch the last game. Was it PGs' off night?

39.3 % is still good enough to not be ignored on defense. They have to guard him. Fox and Mitchel would also put a hell of pressure on defense and generate easy transition opportunities.

My guess is they might use the following lineup before a trade of Buddy, Bagley, C + pick for Simmons or someone else: Fox, Buddy, Barnes, Holmes, Len (or Thompson) That way we showcase Buddy and a Center for a trade. We also need Buddy for spacing playing non-stretch bigs. After a trade...

VF21 was the KF.com to me. When I recently posted the phrase "It is a good time to be a Kings fan", I intended to provoke her to respond. I noticed she was absent recently. Unfortunately, it never happened. RIP, the good spirit of the board. Condolence to her family.

So, you say it was actually a good trade by Vlade.

Ok, is the situation better with stretch bigs who are decent at defense?

I would even give a pick for a good 3&D SF or stretch big. With a good stretch big who plays decent defense, the kings can move Barnes to 3 or/and Holmes to 4.

My takes on the discussion: 1. I agree with sactowndog that trading Simmons for Fox theoretically improves the Kings. Reason: as sctDawg mentioned, a better improvement over replacement. The reason it might not work: concerns with BS attitude and character. 2. I would rather use Buddy +...

In 2021 before Muray's injury. I said - when they defend Jokic by single coverage. When they double him, of course, you need one or two good shooters to punish double coverage.

Actually, post-ups are high percentage plays, when skilled post player and passer attacks weaker defender. I watched enough Denver Nuggets games to know it works.

You are wrong about Jokic at least. He plays in the post whenever teams put single coverage on him.

Actually, Djokovic answered a question about pressure on him to achieve golden slam, not lecturing anyone. Osaka mentioned that Djokovic was the first to offer her support.

We can blame Finley again.

I really like Vandy, but that line-up would seriously lack outside shooting.
