    If you were Monte tonight, who would you have taken?

    Rules are you either go with the FRP trade he made or no trades at all. Otherwise, pick who you would have gone with out of the players left on the board when the Kings picks were due. We can revisit this thread later and point and laugh at each other or boast that we would have out performed...

    Kings should trade Bogdan (redux)

    I'm starting to think we should trade Bogi if teams actually want him. Think about it, when does he ever string together good games? Earlier in the season he had a good 3 game stretch and then 2 good games in a row shortly after that. Outside of those 5 games, he's either below average or...

    Defensive statistics

    I did an offensive list like this in the Buddy Hield thread but here are some stats on our players on the defensive side of the ball. The stats are sorted by type of play. The left side is points per possession given up and the right side is the percentile they're in with respect to the rest of...

    Offensive statistics (from Buddy thread)

    I never even mentioned McLemore. I just think the metric should be used across more similar players. Here's some random stats that actually back up your argument. Points per possession and the turnover percentage for the pick and roll ball handler. Barnes 1.06 - 12.9% Hield .92 - 14.7% (last...

    [NBA] Western Conference Semifinals

    That one was a foul but Mark Jackson was calling for a foul on his final shot of the game and there's no way that was a foul. I don't know if there's a clip anywhere but before the defender even makes contact with Harden, he's like falling down at a 45* angle for no reason other than to trick...

    NBA Combine

    The combine won't really have an effect on our first round pick but it should be important for our 2nd rounder. Mo Bamba officially with the longest wingspan since they've been doing the combine at 7'10". Crazy.

    2018 Kings on/off stats

    https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/SAC/2018/on-off/ I was checking this out today and found it to be fairly interesting and figured it might give us something to talk about during this slow period. Some things that jumped out at me. Kings On/off ORTG (basically an estimate of how many...

    Justin Jackson

    From Zach Lowe's article: 9. Justin Jackson, floating Unless the Sacramento Kings get The Guy in this draft -- and they've hurt their chances with a few recent loss-wins -- they will need someone among the De'Aaron Fox/Buddy Hield/Willie Cauley-Stein/Bogdan Bogdanovic/Skal Labissiere group to...

    D(G)-League thread

    Sorry but it's hard for me to call it the G League. Since when does a sponsor change the entire name of a sports league? Anyway... Jack Cooley with 36pts and 11 reb!!! Goes 15-17 from the field and 1-1 from three. Wow. Jakarr Sampson adds in 16 and 9 Former popular Kentucky star Aaron...

    How Cousins is used in the offense

    There's a lot of Cousins threads going on right now but this is something I've been wondering for a while and it doesn't seem to fit in any of the current threads. How come Cousins never gets any easy baskets? Now there's a lot of you here that pay better attention to basketball fundamentals...

    Guess Jerry Reynolds' new nicknames

    Lets see if anyone can correctly guess any of the goofy Jerry Reynoldisms for these new guys. In my mind, last years winner was Ben McSplashlemore. He had a slight pause halfway through saying it, as if he realized how ridiculous it was. Once the season starts we can look back and see who got...

    Lets talk Isaiah Thomas..

    Lately it's been getting on my nerves reading all the IT bashing that's going on here. It seems like a few members came out with this anti IT agenda and it's spread throughout the board like wildfire. People are saying that he's a ball hog, that he doesn't pass, he takes too many shots, he's...

    Defense - is it players or coaching?

    I'm looking at the basketball-reference.com DRtg which is basically an estimation of how many points a player gives up per 100 possessions. A couple of anomalies stick out with this stat. I'm not sure of the legitimacy of it, but these points are interesting. Out of all the players who have...

    Keith Smart's defensive scheme

    Anyone else tired of seeing teams shoot wide open three's on us every game? The only time we should be leaving guys wide open is when another player got beat so badly that the defender is forced to double to prevent the easy basket. In that case it's going to be a 2 point basket anyway, so I see...

    Someone sell me on Thomas Robinson

    I know were only 10 or so games into his rookie season but I gotta say, I just don't see any above average skills that made him the 5th pick, let alone a guy who can be a contributor in the NBA. His size is the first thing that grabs my attention. He's supposed to be a PF but he looks more like...

    No one on this team can shoot other than Thorton

    Our guards and small forwards can't shoot from 3 or much of anywhere on the court for that matter. Our big men can't shoot from 10ft or even finish layups or put backs half the time. All they can do is rebound but rebounding does nothing for you if you can't get the ball in the hoop. We're...

    Donte, JT and Pooh

    I'll forever root for these guys for going back out there after the game and saying goodbye to the fans left standing. It just doesn't get any classier than that. I wish the entire team would have gone out there and embraced the fans but I guess they were too busy. They might not have had the...

    Francisco Garcia a drama queen?

    Well there aren't many threads going on right now so I'll make this one just for the sake of discussion. Is it just me or is this guy really dramatic on the court when he gets hurt? I've never seen a King's player lay on the ground with his hands over his eyes so many times in a year. It seems...

    Jones and Douby

    I'm starting to like these guys off the bench. Both are very scrappy. Neither of them can finish at the basket worth a damn but they still seem to contribute every time out. Does Douby play really good defense or does he just get flashy steals once or twice a game? I can't really tell. Jones...
