Kings DRAFT Devin Carter with 13th pick. What’s next for Sacramento?

Kings DRAFT Devin Carter with 13th pick. What’s next for Sacramento?

welcome into the deuce and mo podcast recording this after the conclusion of the first round of the NBA draft Sacramento Kings with the 13th pick so much noise could they be making a trade we heard Rumblings a little bit before the draft that they were talking about a Kyle kozma trade they’ve been connected to Kyle kosma for years we also heard cam Johnson as a possibility as the Nets are blowing things up and starting over trying to accumulate assets but when the Kings got the bore there are questions which direction were they going to go well at the number 13 pick they go with a guard hey Devin Carter from Providence 62 193 lbs was drafted by the Sacramento Kings with the 13th overall pick there’s a lot to go over in discussing this pick because he’s a guard and I think on the surface you’re going what the hell did Monty McNair and the Kings just do yep you’ve got dear Fox yeah you do you have Malik monk who you just resigned to a four-year deal you still have Kevin herder Keon Ellis Davon Mitchell Colby Jones a second round pick that you gave a fouryear deal that’s a lot of guards well I’d like to announce something right now it is June 26 there is still free agency in trades that can come but we all know the Kings needed Wing help they did not get it in the first round of the draft what’s your first reaction to the Kings adding Devin Carter from Providence first initial reaction was guard you know the Big G it’s up there all the things the good news is I watched some Devin Carter weeks ago I mean I watched you know a couple games highlights all reading everything about him I’m like whoa he’s not just anyu guard like sold when I saw his wingspan sold when I saw the way that he really carries himself out there on the floor he plays so much bigger than he is he’s 62 with a 68 wingspan no no no no 68 and 3/4 wingspan so sorry on top of that he uh was averaging over nine or nine rebounds per game last year so he has a nose for the ball knows how to get in there um so this guard in Devin Carter I was a little bit more excited about but it’s like you already said at the beginning of this you said there’s so many different angles to break down because I go okay great love Devin Carter love his IQ he’s a dog all the different things that we just mentioned but what tweaks are going to be made because you you you can’t win in the western conference with a roster full of guards right that’s the problem and you know I’m trying to map this out in my head and let me be clear I I like Dev Carter in fact I did a mock draft with uh someone from the Memphis Grizzlies who’s going like picking someone from each City and I was picked at 13 I selected Devin Carter yeah my rationale was you know they’re probably losing Malik monk um I think Devin Carter is going to be a fan favorite here I’m going to just set that out right now people are going to love this guy yeah because he is a dog and yes we that term gets thrown around a lot nowadays and people are going to obsess over the 6-2 part of it he’s got a 6A and three quarter wingspan and he uses all of it he is Relentless relentless on the defensive side of the ball he’s just Relentless all the time yep you look at his numbers last year at Providence his third year playing college ball started at South Carolina before going to Providence he averag just under 20 points a game let me read this to you because it sounds like it’s a mistake he averaged nearly nine rebounds a game as a 6-2 guard 8.7 rebounds 3.6 assists he also averaged just under two Steals and a block shot 47% he was 37% from downtown now the shooting thing right there you may want to look at because he he took a big jump in year three in college before this year he was 29% from three and then 26% from three his threo percentage has gone up so was his free throw percentage you hope that is trending in the right it’s not just a fluky thing and he’s you don’t want him to be a liability obviously on the defense or the offensive side of the ball but you know you think about the Kings there was a that rumbling about they were going to take 13 and trade it for Caruso that I mean you could see like some Alex Caruso in Devin Carter a little bit with the his ability to defend the question I I have is you know can Devin guard as many positions I don’t know about that I think he can guard multiple positions Alex is an all NBA level defensive player he’s done that I do think Devon Carter has that upside with his L length and physicality his rebounding his ability to push he plays with energy the guy is everywhere the feel for the game just like you said his versatility on the defensive end right the strength that he plays with and um I I didn’t think I was going to be this optimistic if a guard was drafted but I truly feel like Devin Carter is just a different type of basketball player that excites me and then obviously his dad uh being around the game for so long has helped him be around the NBA game for so long and just understand it at such a different level 22 years old he turned 22 in March so he’s uh an older rookie if you want to put it like that but also I always look at that as being a more mature rookie right uh so I I look at all these different things his upside him defensively um what he could maybe provide on on the offensive end I know some people have said well 6’2 isn’t he just going to get a blocked at the rim and it’s like because he does play with link because he is a smart guy he knows how to get it up off the backboard he knows how to use his strength uh to battle in whoever else it is to get into the paint and make sure he’s shooting over people he’s an explosive athlete too I want to read you a portion of Sam vini’s breakdown he does a draft guide for the athletic every year this guy is crazy with the work he puts in and this is just one person’s opinion but figured we’d share it his strengths Carter is one of the best athletes in the draft class he possesses an exceptional combination of explosiveness lateral fluidity and functional strength those traits along with the motor and toughness allow him to play much bigger than his listed height he’s extremely quick and can get up vertically his development uh trajectory has been meteoric in part because of his competitiveness and his work ethic he improved his points rebounds assists field goal percentage three-point percentage and free throw percentage every season in college he also processes the game quickly with fast reaction times on both ends of the core on top of that has great length we’ve already mentioned this 68 and 3/4 wingspan the guy is long he says those attributes translate into Carter being one of the draft’s best little things players he’s a monster rebounder for a guard skying above traffic to secure contested boards he constantly Dives on the floor makes second and third third efforts to recover on defense or get extra possessions for his team he is fearless tough and values the ball Carter defends guards as well as you’ll find and has potential to be among the NBA’s best down the road he blows up actions on and off ball he battles at the point of attack using his quickness and strength to stay in front of opposing players while also crawling into their space and disrupting their dribbling he gets over screens at an elite level taking the appropriate routes to stay in the play Morgan he never stops fighting he’s got great hands which means he’s always a factor when recovering a lot of offensive players underestimate his speed getting back into place leading to a ton of block shots yep one block a game for him last year in college Carter will give up size against bigger wings but it doesn’t feel that way because they have trouble going through his chest he can switch across strong one through three positions in the NBA according to Vini one through three and should even be able to match up with many fours we’ll see I mean seeing him play against some of these some of these players um in college it was like oh he’s he’s really strong he knows how to use his chest he knows how to use his body but then on top of that knowing how to use your arms right and and using that to your advantage and actually like capitalizing on that that physical ability that you have you see him do that and like him being able to recover and obviously block some shots if someone is quicker than him does get by him it’s that length once again and how many times have we been talking about link for the Sacramento Kings and we’ll address what this means for the roster and take a look at the other spot stuff in a bit but focusing on Carter for a second if Vini is right and he does have the capability to guard one through three yeah that’s that’s going to be big for Sacramento the four I I I feel like that’s a bit of a stretch but I think there’s a strong belief in his strength and his compete and his length if you have that type of Versatility on the defensive end of the ball especially with the growth that Keegan made last year de’arra made last year the emergence of Keon Ellis it’s there’s some pretty intriguing options for the Sacramento Kings and Mike Brown to utilize out there yeah I mean there was there was a time when I didn’t know I I I called so many games of Keon Ellis with the Stockton Kings and I was like I don’t know if this game will translate the right way in the NBA like is he going to be confident of all these different things the opportunity was given to him in the way that he developed internally within this organization has been fantastic but then something that he has as well is that wingspan he has those long arms the ability to just like a nose for the ball knows how to get in there you know digging digging whatever it is to disrupt someone that is dribbling the basketball and I feel like with someone like uh Devin Carter you you are getting someone that is already there you know and so now if you have that other that internal development with the other things and then you put him in a defense where he is just making the perimeter defense even stronger because he is so versatile it yeah it’s I like it in the NBA you got to win possessions you got to get stops and you got to get rebounds he can do both of those things that’s what’s exciting as San Vini goes on to WR this Morgan Carter is the epitome of a defensive playmaker despite 62 he blocked more than one shot a game in each of the past two seasons and average just under two steals per contest on top of his ability to get his hands into the opposing players handles he’s also tremendous off ball that’s good he’s constantly in the right position active when helping excellent at timing his digs in the drivers and clever playing that cat Mouse with them by stunting before recovering the shooters he’s also a great backline defender despite his height effectively bopping back and forth to confuse driving guards he’s quick and active closing out covering space quickly and on balance while he sometimes blocks shots that way he always navigates the balance of contesting hard or staying on the ground when offensive players try to attack his close out he also uh he can also face guard or chase around dangerous shoes because of his skill getting through screens yeah I I mean it’s all the things that you love in a Defender now how is it going to translate at the NBA level with some of these bigger bodies I mean you know we have these questions obviously they have the belief that it will translate just fine but again watching him last year you can see how much bigger he plays how strong he does play now you want to talk about some of his offensive stuff and we still have weaknesses too okay I want to go over this this is great we the I want to trust the experts here and so that’s why I’m going over some of this stuff offensively Carter improved every year as a score and shooter most important skill set will be the three-point shooter while stroke doesn’t look great it goes in often enough to believe it will translate to the next level he drill 37.7% of his nearly 73 Point attempts per game this season and many of those tough shots uh tough those were tough looks due to being the top of the opponent scouting reports like he is the guy that they worried about he drilled 40.2% of his catch and shoot threes and showed some potential to launch off movement making eight threes off screens this season so he goes over some of the shooting stuff also says he’s effective pull-up shooter he hit 34% of his nearly 100 pull-up threes per energy including making 41% of his 44 pick and roll three-point attempts and 36% of his threes off handoffs he navigates ball screens well demonstrating the ability to come off the pick patiently and and making sure to keep either his man on his hip or explode to the rim said he was an elite finisher at the basket last season unsurprised in giving his strength and athleticism he threw down 25 dunks last season including a few posters but also made 65.9% of his overall shots at The Rim so the guy’s gonna finish out the room he’s going to go strong and to finish nearly 66% that’s great well and that’s the thing that if you watch him play too not only with his shot is it a high release with his wingspan it allows him to shoot over some people right whether I mean they’re the same height the same size whatever um it allows him to elevate a little bit more and I think even at The Rim that’s what I would notice is some of his some of his shots that he was finishing in the paint it just felt like he was always reaching up always had the advantage with that wingspan he also says that he thinks Carter’s passing is more of a positive than a negative so long as he’s the secondary ball handler out there rather than the primary initi initiator uh some of his weaknesses of course the size gets mentioned NBA teams prefer a 3 and D players like Carter to be more in the 66 range it hops that Carter plays bigger than his size but his height limits the type lineups that a team could construct while using him as a high-end role player he came in the combine at 62 and one quarters without shoes say he’s not a creative ball handler compared to other NBA guards that’s something to watch for sure his turnovers were a bit high at 2.7 so the context does matter he had to lead Providence offense without many creative scoring guards around him especially after the friers Lost Bryce Hopkins for the season so they talk about that um he also isn’t sure about the shooting he’s shown just one season of positive sample his underlying shooting metrics this season all look good even at volume but he’s 22 year old he’s a 22- year old with a hitchy shot who made less than 30% of his threes in his first two College Seasons yeah okay well I I and you know I think even looking at some of those uh weaknesses even the ball handling for example when I hear some of these things I go okay well that’s not the role you you expect him to be in right but you also want him to be able to get stronger in that area so we got Sam Vini perspective on Devin Carter there’s a lot to like there yeah ABS I just from the standpoint when you’re talking about a guy’s motor his energy his personality and why he’s one of your favorite people like you love having those type of guys on your roster so yes there’s a lot of good things about that now when you start thinking about the Sacramento Kings and how they’re building this out this is what people are struggling with a little bit is like okay like yeah I see why Devin Carter would be helpful but when you have all of these guards you haven’t addressed your weaknesses tonight what what what would you say to those people who are concerned about that at this point oh well um your concerns are valid absolutely valid and I think my only push back would be is to be rational about this too when well I know I know well cuz I saw some like really evil things like of and I’m just like ew you’re all giving me the ick right now like it’s not about it’s not about even trying to convince you to enjoy this pick or anything because here’s where I’m at I go love this pick Devin Carter right there with the 13th pick okay you feel like that was the best player available especially with the way that this draft was going hauling going F I mean like you had so many different picks PE that went higher than expected right ed9 and then you get to 13th best player available Devin Carter in Kings fans go what the another guard valid now this is where I go I go okay what tweaks are being made what moves are being made and I think a lot of the conversation that we have had today since this pick has been about that and I think the work is not done but I think there has been so much trauma around the almost trades and the almost moves over the years that people are like well I’m not going to believe it until I see it too well here’s the other struggle I have okay because we listed all these guards yeah Fox Ellis herder Mitchell monk even if you want to put Colby in there I mean they gave Colby a four-year deal last year after drafting him okay so there was some thought he would be involved in in this so and then you’re adding you’re adding a draft pick in Carter okay one two three four five six right six seven that’s seven that’s seven right there okay Fox is playing we know this monk just got a new deal he’s playing let’s just say Dave yon’s out of the picture okay next let’s say he gets moved like hey you know we tried it Lottery guy we got Carter okay he’s gone fine herder if he’s there yeah and Ellis and Carter where where are the minutes coming from you know that that to me is a challenge you know and then you start going into this like let’s just say oh well like Carter can replace davon’s minutes well Davon was playing like 15 minutes a night yeah so that there’s not a lot of minutes there and so when you’re taking a lottery pick even if you think this guy can be impactful your roster is just so imbalanced right now and so that’s why it’s vital that if you draft Carter he needs to be playing more minutes how do you get him to play more minutes well you got to make some drastic moves that’s why so many people are looking at a wing option not necessarily in the draft it could have been in the draft they could have done it in the draft or get some size in the draft but they also could have tried to make a trade not saying they didn’t try but they weren’t able to execute getting azma or Cam Johnson so now they’re left in a situation where you got Fox Ellis I want Ellis to play right you have herder herder helped this team not a ton not as much last year but we know what he can be capable of after having a career low season last year Davon who knows what what’s going on monk is going to play Heavy minutes and then you gave Colby a four-year deal so that’s where I’m struggling right now that’s a lot that’s seven guards we just talked about that struggle is valid because it’s not like I I doubt that their mindset is like all right the way to win the West you go small that’s how you do it no but at the same time then you do have to question this roster construction and you go what aggressive moves are you m can you make can you make because that’s the other thing too do you and I have talked about this a lot lately es especially seen the night before the draft Mel Bridges go um a lot was given a lot of future was mortgage for Mel Bridges and I said to you I’m like anybody is going to cost a lot right but you have to be able to give up stuff as well and I think so many kings fans always go can’t you just trade Harrison Barnes or Jon like they just throw out anyone’s names and it’s like well it takes two to tango you know the other front the other organization has to have a place for these people have has to have a want has to make sense with their roster as well so I think sometimes we get caught up in a lot of that when really it’s like you just have to be willing to in my opinion and I’ve never been like this before but I think the time is right to maybe take some risks and even if it means being risky with your future and maybe give up some future picks like the 28 pick the 2030 pick depending on who that player is but we’re seeing how costly it is to to get some of these guys and I you know I’m looking at the rest of the draft and you know you’re going okay well what would you have liked to have seen him do you know I like Devon Carter a lot you know I I that’s where it’s so tough I like Le wear a lot and he ends up going 15th to Miami and of course Miami gets him which I even get a little irritated cuz I’m like oh Miami see some he’s probably going to be a damn good player and there’s questions about his motivation at times when I watched him battle Zack Ed in the second match up between Indiana Purdue I’m like this guy has what you love in a modern day big like Not only was he dealing with Zack Ed size at 74 this guy can step out and hit threes he can protect the rim he’s vertical threat he’s got size a legit 7 foot he’s got the wingspan so that would have been more of a look I understand that you’re like oh how do that work with sabonis could they play together sure here’s what I know you do need size now you added another guard but also with where the development like that was going to have to take place with him as well just like his rawness and I think even I mean we talking to other people even talking about how him developing with Miami and within that culture and just how perfect that will be for him um at this point of his career you know and and not to say that it wouldn’t be the same in Sacramento but at the same time you do look at Sacramento too and you look at someone like Devin Carter and you go okay it’s not a big but it’s also someone with like at least length you know and he s Vini thinks he can guard one through three I saw someone in the chess saying oh he just said in an interview he can go one through four um let’s uh hear from um Devin Carter he was with Jake gayon CBS 13 who was in Brooklyn covering the draft got an exclusive oneon-one with him uh let’s hear what that sounded like with Jake gayon from CBS 13 and and Devin Carter King Devin Carter from Providence going on the 13th overall pick just what was it like hearing your name here in Barkley Center uh it’s a surreal feeling you know just all glory to God uh blessed me throughout my whole life and uh just ready to get to work ready to bring some championships to Sacramento and uh trying to win honestly what have you heard about Sacramento and the Kings um I love Coach Brown I love what he does with uh the players uh his relationship with the players um just uh you know how competitive they are and how well connected well bonded they are and stuff in the locker rooms and stuff so uh just looking forward to being a part of that Brotherhood so I don’t know have you anything about Deen Fox damont sabonis and just the style of play that they play over in sack um you know they lot of two-man game saon is one of the best bigs best passing bigs in the NBA honestly might be the best uh de Fox fantastic point guard high IQ very explosive uh great player Allstar I mean what more can you say you know Kevin herder shooter it’s a honestly best organization I could happy wanted to go to so so you were saying you worked out for this team in Sacramento previously how do you feel like your game fits in with Sacramento um honestly I think I fit in just by my versatility my two-way ability you know able to lock down the other team’s best guard or whatever may be I’m able to switch one through four um and then I think that uh just on the offensive end I’m somebody who can create their own shot get my teammate shots if they uh you know help off the Gap and everything uh just somebody like I said somebody’s coming to win so that’s the most important thing that you’re AG with me coming to Sacrament a winner were you expecting this at all to to go to the kings were they on their l yeah they were honestly number one so I’m this is the team I wanted to go to this is the team I told my girl my dad my aunt everybody the team I wanted to go to so I mean God couldn’t have planned us out any better biggest question out of everything though is have you heard of the beam and are you ready to like light the beam I’m ready I’m ready I’m ready to like the beam de there’s Devin Carter with he was always my number one pick as well I just thought that was so cute how about the which thing I’m not trying to be J you know you know we’ve been watching the draft for a long time yeah what else is he going to say h well they weren’t really on my list but they seem kind of J he’s like I told my dad I told my girlfriend I’m so that he wanted to be here and you know I do there there is a and look I get sucked into I’m guilty of getting sucked into stuff like this but you know he’s like oh I love Mike Brown yeah I I love how his relationships with players I’m like dude yeah that’s an easy guy to root for yeah it’s funny how we talk about this tonight right because we read Sam vini’s breakdown MH you’re like oh my God and then you start looking at the roster go huh and then you see maybe a couple of guys that maybe go after you’re like well would that been a better fit look if Devin Carter comes to Sacramento and he plays a vital role in getting this team to another level because he brings legit defensive versatility he said in this clip he says he can go one through four MH we’ll have to see that I don’t know here’s what I do know he can guard and he can guard a couple of positions maybe a few if he can bring that that’s going to be huge for the Kings and now it’s on the front office to clean it up there you go I I don’t need seven guards I need I give me a wing just somebody with some size someone Bobby Gerald mentioned Obi toppen it doesn’t have to be crazy here okay but I need some more length I need some more athleticism we got the guards covered we got some dogs we got dear Fox Keon Ellis Malik brings that I need some more length yep and size and toughness I think it’s size for me because even when he has the confidence of saying like I can guard one through four like there’s this part of me that goes I’ve been wanting length for so long and I feel like I shouldn’t underestimate his length especially when again when you look at a guard that is 6’2 that is averaging nine rebounds per game that is elevating and shooting over people that is so versatile even well in college defensively on so many different people because he has the length and the strength um yeah it’s it’s again it’s always nice when you hear the Rook say the right things and it makes me smile and now Monty’s got work to do and I guess that’s the biggest thing is like the draft is the first part of the off season this is officially here I guess if you want to rewind the first official thing they did was reach a deal with Malik monk to bring him back which was important to do and now the draft night one’s done what can you get done in the next few weeks free agency and then trades this is an important stretch you see what’s happening in the west there weren’t a ton of crazy deals today but you know you you even saw Denver move up and get Don Holmes which was very interesting right you saw Minnesota make an aggressive move jumping in a trade with the Spurs to get Rob Dillingham who I absolutely love this guy is so explosive and fun just an absolute bucket that’s a team that was one of the best teams in the west just got a young explosive guard yep point guard I mean you know a guard but like someone who can obviously handle the basketball and create and just make someone like Anthony Edwards even better um yeah when you when you look around the Western Conference uh that’s just night one of the draft we haven’t gone a free agency yet we still don’t know Brandon Ingram’s future right Paul George could he land with the worse the point is these teams in the west are damn good Memphis Draft Zack EDI today right they’re just better they’re gonna they should be a lot better than they were last year with all the injuries everything that they had to deal with Houston what what do they end up doing with some tweaks so the point is you have to have to find ways I mean I don’t know I I call me crazy but I I’m GNA be shocked if the king’s tip it up opening ey like well they’ve got seven guards and maybe they can clean up by the deadline yeah that can’t happen no and I’m with you on that because I I even think even if you are a believer in the internal growth and development or leap of Keegan Murray being um someone that is just a different type of confidence next year scoring the basketball being aggressive who I mean who knows if Malik Monk’s role even changes like does he become a starter like there’s a part of me that I’m like I don’t know could that happen um so there’s all these different things that can change that can move but you have to have tweaks in moves and not not just like oh we picked up some future assets you got to have things different for next season you have to do that while dearn Fox and domas sabonis are in their Prime you got to do that right after you resigned Malik monk Keegan Murray in his third year like it is just so important especially on a night that you do draft a guard it’s not it’s not about making even just like oh let’s just make a fan base happy no no winning will make the fan base happy and you’re seeing how competitive and difficult the Western conferences and it this just doesn’t feel like it’s going to move the needle right I think it helps but yeah just as it’s currently constructed that’s what I’m saying June 26 I’m with you on thate 26 and something I said when the pick was made is like if you’re Deen Fox tonight right yeah we we read the stuff in the athletic where it’s hey Source close to situation he’s inside the extension yet he wants to wait to kind of see how this this roster is built out there’s really a push to try to build this into a winner so Monty since he’s been the the GMS and with dear Fox there given dear an extension drafted Tyrese drafted Davon you know Colby and then you know tonight de Devin Carter so it’s like guard guard which it’s just that’s that’s the thing you know it’s like is that that that’s a tough cell tonight but you know if if there’s a bigger picture to this which leads to hey man we were able to upgrade the four spot we got more athletic we add some legit size we’ve got more versatility and on top of that like we cleared up some of this this these guards that we have and we’ve got defensive versatility where we have people who can defend like I mean I look at if you have Devon who can guard let’s just let’s say he can’t guard one through four okay say he’s one through three okay well last year do we not see Keegan Murray defend Steph Curry yeah and other guards multiple positions all right dear has the ability to defend multiple positions Keon so you start having that type of defensive versatility that goes a long way I saw someone in the check goes oh cool we got a Davon replacement here’s the difference between Davon Mitchell and Devon Carter Davon Mitchell does not have a 68 and three quarter wingspan that that’s just different right and as tough as Davon is on Ball even on bigger guys at the end of the day Devin Booker is going to turn around and hit a jumper on him because there’s just no length there and so if you have that length that can go a long way and that physicality and you hear about how good he can be off ball as well so I think there’s a lot to like about Devin Carter like Devin the player is going to be a lot of fun to watch yeah but and I’m excited about the prospect of him as a player we’ve been watching him throughout the draft process it’s more just all right like I need to see I need to see the full picture now I I just as it stands today I’m like okay it’s like when you’re you’re doing you’re switching around your bedroom or your living room and you’re switching Around furniture and it’s like you have some missing pieces or it’s just like it doesn’t work and it’s like I need to see the full picture cuz like this is giving me anxiety like that’s where we’re at we’re like I don’t like the couch over there I this rug is not going to work a lot of these pieces are way too small in this living room it needs some life some girth yes just like that Kings fans are going to love Devon Carter yeah just just wait you guys it’s that for the people who are on the fence about the pick in general I I I actually think less people are on the fence about the pick it’s about Deon Carter the player I should say it is more about okay well I want to see like what else are you going to do because we’re now the when you watch this guy play he’s going to bring energy and life and I think that’s so important to have I think sometimes the Kings lack that it was like it was hey Malik can you give us something off the bench and we don’t have the spark from anybody else I think Devin adds another layer to that and when you have a guy who’s going to bring it on both ends we spent so much time talking about what he does defensively which is great but it’s a rebound his ability to push his I don’t give a I’m going to go ahead and pop this transition three oh I can go ahead and attack the basket finish at the ram I can go dunk the ball there’s going to be standing ovations for this guy in Sacramento now front office make the other I love it we’ve we’ve said it so many times because we’ve been I mean we’ve been talking for 5 and a half hours now you know like since an hour before the draft started and with so much anxiety going into what the kings were actually going to do and starting to lean toward the excitement of okay maybe they’re going to trade for an established player and this is the direction they’re going to go and then when they did end up going in this Direction with Devin Carter I am excited about this player but I’m also absolutely with you invalidate anyone else’s feelings out there that are like but there’s going to be changes right absolutely there should be someone in the chat was mentioning Bobby poris yeah yeah I’ll if Bobby if the Bucks are really trying to let go of Bobby poris on a team-friendly deal he is a level of dog and toughness that this team needs a guy that will square up and fight somebody too but he’s also a good basketball player and you know the four spot you don’t NE you don’t have to have a star there it’s if you think Keegan if your bet is that Keegan’s going to turn into being like a legit offensive talent and that having more Defenders around him take some pressure off of him there too allows him to focus more offensively and he could thrive in that role and then the guy at the four doesn’t have to be a high volume guy but can that guy hit a three-pointer yeah can he play tough can he get a rebound that’s kind of what you’re looking at from that
