Malone needs to start keeping one of Cuz or JT on the floor at all times. Split up the big rotation. We need a post presence in there. Right now there's little reason for Pho not to get up into our perimeter guys as there's no threat inside at all to occupy their attention and send a double/help too.

Malone is setting Jimmer up to succeed. He's playing alongside a PG and doesn't need to worry about being the main ballhandler. A Reddick type role, more off the ball is what likely will be his best opportunity to have success in this league and Malone is giving him a chance to do exactly that.

No more of this Keith Smart forcing Jimmer to be a PG and main ballhandler bull dooky we saw last year.

Redick started off just being a spot shooter on kickouts from Dwight Howard. Makes little sense to play him in this small line up - IT isn't a natural passer in the mold of Chris Paul, and our team isn't exactly known for setting good screens and getting guys shots off curls and stuff like that. IMO we'd be better off just having Jimmer spot up for open 3s.

Unbelievable, this game. We seriously look like we are just giving the ball to the Suns. Kings win the first 10 minutes, then they (including the coach) check out? Wow, so many turnovers.

Kings can't sustain anything - that is sustained effort. Phoenix is only team in NBA to lead going into 4th Q every game this season - Kings have to know this if they even care.

Agree. Either have to play him with a big who draws doubles and creates open shots or a guy who can penetrate, shift the defense and create looks. Jimmer will succeed most off ball movement and defenses shifting.

That lineup was terrible. Not just for Jimmer, it didn't have any balance to it.

All-Star ballot tip: When you're voting for the West frontcourt, ONLY VOTE FOR DEMARCUS. Leave the other two slots blank. When you vote for anyone WITH Demarcus, it hurts his chances.
