In Russ We Trust 🐐
Wait, are the Kings really thinking about starting Saric over Clifford?!? He provides length and that’s about it.
Superstar excited he's on our team and monk vouch for him what else can you ask for light the beam
Smile baby, Russ is in the House and he’s going to make things happen ! Can’t wait for the season to start with Brodie and his leadership! Good show Matt And let’s go Kings!
Love King Russ 😊 So now I love the Kings 🩵
Opening night starting lineup. Just think about it. Dennis, Westbrook, Zach, Demar, Drew. Ellis, Monk, Clifford, with Issac. Things suck with no Sabonis so we need Westbrook as a starter
Russ is dawg, Russ is going to love playing with young Nique & Isaac
The Kings are not a good team, AND they are old. A 36/37 year old Westbrook will take minutes from Ellis, Carter, and Clifford. We are not helping our future by bringing in older players.
Leadership is what he can bring! I hope he rises to the challenge. Go Kings!
Russ is the embodiment of effort. He’s a great vet to rely on for leadership and developing a culture that focuses on effort and energy, even if his time here is short.
The Kings should sign Garrison Matthews. He was just waived by the Knicks.
Hes mean and nasty. He gets red Hot from 3. He's 6'6.
Id love the fit on this roster
Yes, let Demar move to the bench. He is a great scorer but is too slow, does not play defense, does not go after rebounds, and does not get his teammates involved so is not a willing passer. It will crush Demar's ego, but Clifford is the best fit for the 3 spot.
Like I said, Nique Clifford could be your Kobe Bryant. Unfortunately, Sacramento will screw up his growth and potential and will not play him like a Kobe Bryant because they are stack with vets they need to feed. To make matters worse, he needs to play a lot of minutes NOW but cannot. He is already an old rookie, he cannot afford to wait for the vets to move on.
Keon Ellis, much like Coby White, he deserves a starting role somewhere. The latter was able to showcase himself once the vets – DeRozan and LaVine – moved on. With so many vets in front of him, Ellis is screwed.
With Westbrook, Sacramento now has a lot of players who needs to hog the ball to be effective. Too many ball hogs, only one ball, not enough role players.
For Sacramento to secure a playoff spot in a stacked western conference, they need to make a trade for a rim protector, lob getter. With Westbrook, Sacramento has added another guy that can penetrate the paint. Now, all Sacramento needs now is somebody who is a lob threat/rim protector.
Russ finna go crazy he can look like prime Russ because they really need him he can start & come off bench but he gotta get 30 mins plus his energy IQ bigger better defense then Dennis I wouldn’t under stand a top 75 coming off bench for Dennis . Also Malik monk didn’t give Russ 0 is disrespectful idc what nobody say
Why is Westbrook old but Curry and LeBron are not old? 😂😂
Gotta love the man and his all-in attitude! He will be a glue guy on and off the court!
I like the starters without Demar DeRozan. I would like to bench him. The Team came into a flow. Without Demar it looks like a different team. Ellis and Clifford performed well. Clifford maybe a constant starter?
Russ will bring in the attitude to win.
I'm on board with Nique starting
Why is the sound so much better in your video of the presser than kcra3. im fr unsubscribing from them gah lee. My volume is half and i can hear it 50 times better than theirs at full volume
Nique MF Clifford!
Mark Williams is the suns center lol not going to be great
yes, please ask DeMar to come off the bench, Matt…
I'm absolutely sold on Clifford. He and Keegan are the foundation of the future of this team.
If things play out the way it is, Russ is a keeper. Hope Kings will extend him next year. Russ seems like a great guy and he can help our rooks as well
Not sure what to make of Russ I like what he said and he might just be one of those players that you hate when he's on the other side. At the very least it won't be boring, ugly maybe but not boring
