The first 2 yrs he came off the bench behind a established but limited Corliss Williamson. After the Kings saw that Corliss , although a good player severely restricts the offense, he was traded and Peja responded by making the all star game his first full yr as a starter. Why do i bring this up? I wouldnt' feel nearly as bad about not making the playoffs if we could at least got a look at Peja or Morris instead of relying on Rice. This is especially true before the Posey for Thomas trade when we didn't have anyone at that spot. I look at Sa and even though Steve Smith and Danny Ferry are still decent players, the future lies with Jackson and Manu manning the 2/3 spots. My thing is , with those teams competing for not only playoffs , but bigger things, how did they manage to replace a steady older player with a dynamic younger one and still succeed? Watching some of the old draft highlights about Boki really gives me hope that he is that 3 that attacks the basket and can hit a open shot. He gives me hope that we will have a true 3 for the first time since........... Rodney McCray. I really hope next yr, Boki proves that he's as good as advertised. It still would have been nice to see him get about 16 or 17 mins a night to check his progress.
I hope so. But we're too busy trying to win...the young guys will never get to play. HE BETTER START PLAYING NEXT SEASON!
lol..well that's what doesn't make sense. Glen Rice is still playing... while Terence Morris and Bostjan Nachbar SHOULD BE PLAYING. Hopefully they start playing them next season.
The couple of foreigners should play well together. They played in systems where passing and teaming were emphasised. There is a reason that Yao and Nachbar hung around alot. They both like passing games and they shot well too,... well hopefully.
