Game changer in Minnesota

Dane Moore: Naz Reid on Pat Bev: He brings an intensity. Effort is big for him. Hes contagious in a good way. He talks. Hes in every spot he needs to be. With him doing that, hes able to tell the next guy what to do because hes doing what hes supposed to do

And maybe in Sac as well

Jason Anderson: Tyrese Haliburton says he is looking forward to Mondays preseason opener because - I have seen Davions face too much guarding me, so I am looking forward to him being on my side.

Pa Bev is aging and breaking down.  Does he play 50 games?  And no one else plays D on that team.  Maybe Pa Bev can teach Edwards to fight on D.  Takes time for most young players, but that could be Bev's lasting contribution.

TyH could have a breakthrough year.  Very savvy player on both ends.  Hopefully he can get out of Sacto where players never seem to develop.

Nope.  Davion isn't going to see much court time.  Nobody except TyH shows much aptitude for/interest in D in Sacto.  Another year of individuals playing a team sport.  Btw, Davion Mitch a year and a half older than tyH (Dav turned 23 recently).

I will take that bet on Davion

I was wrong on him pre draft.  Think he will be a factor.

"Nobody but Ty H plays D"

You mean last year's team right?

Davion is going to see A LOT OF TIME

SHEEEEEEEEET

You didn't see him in summer league. 

He is a dawg.

Looking for  him to help transform Kings culture by his defensive play.

By his example.

Look for  Hield to play Burks Fournier role.

Looking for Haliburton to play some 4

But even if he doesn't, plenty of minutes even before any injury might factor in

I'd be surprised if he plays 2 mins at PF.  Would seem to deliberately try to nullify his strengths. Usually Barnes is their smallball 4.  But they do need to shake things up.

They looked so incoherent last year.   
Someone needs to light a fire under Hield.  Or call him out everytime he falls asleep away from the ball.  Size, fairly athletic -- Hield should be able to play average D.  He doesn't seem interested.  And they need a defensive scheme that gives Fox a clear role and reduces his detriment.

Okay, so they add Tristan Thompson and Davion Mitchell.  If TyH comes off the bench, then theironly 3 defenders are on the 2nd unit.

De'Aaron Fox
Buddy Hield   
Harrison Barnes   
Marvin Bagley III
Richaun Holmes

Is that what they role with?

I'd rather:
Fox
TyH
Barnes
Bagley
Tristan

Get two defenders in the starting lineup.  Set the tone.
Hield would be unhappy.  Rich Holmes could come in early and still get plenty of human bowling ball minutes.

You want more shooting:
Fox
TyH
Hield
Barnes
Tristan
4 shooters and a rim protector.
Bench of Dav Mitchell, T Davis, Mo Hark, Bagley, Holmes.

My only definite starters would be Fox and TyH.

This must have been a huge shock to everyone as it definitely was to me.

A guy with one year in the league who has never seen playoff defense is praising a rook who has never defended in an NBA game during camp when the whole league is packed with Jordans Magics and Birds.

Go ahead. Get hyped about the Kings. Knock yourself out.

Following Kings, Nuggets and TWolves in the West - with of course the Lakers.

East?  Knicks, Nets, along with BULLS and..........  likely Wiz (but may change that)
