I can tell they hired the right coach. Full-court press.....just tearing Sac down. Don't know if they can do that for 82 games. Will probably have to add some more perimeter bodies. Because pressing like that requires tons and tons of energy. But that kidn of press can make a great team look very, very bad in the second half of ball games. I like it a lot and I think they are going to be very successful. And that could actually be a problem since they really need to go to the lottery again to get another big time piece. However, I can't think of a better way to fully use all MKG's skills to the max. They're gonna rip some teams up this next year.
Summer league... Summer League. That being said, I like MKG and Taylor as guys who can come in and play multiple positions, and defend. They aren't going to be a team that can really play half court BBall and win so like the Kings did in the second half of last season, they are going to have to fly up and down the court to win games next season. They still dont have a young go-to player they can build around yet though. Its still gonna be a long year for them.
Walker, Taylor, Gilchrist, Biyombo, Mullens is a nice young core. They got Henderson and Reggie Williams too. They should have traded fro a big instead of trading for Gordon.
It's not that bad of an idea considering they got two of the best perimeter defenders in the draft. I seriously doubt it would work consistently in the regular season, though.
Watching that bobcats kings game i was very unimpressed with robinson for the kings. He does not play like a PF at all. Reminded me of beasley. If he was the consensus 2nd best player in the draft the experts got it wrong. I know its only 1 game but I don't see how his game will translate as a PF in the NBA.
I read all about their coach when they hired him, I think the Cats are gonna be sleepers this year. Playoffs.
