Dylan Cardwell

The Sacramento Kings for Michele.

So 11 possible players, Domantas Sabonis, Keegan Murray, Malik Monk, Darius Acuff Jr., Precious Achiuwa, Neek Clifford, Alex Karaban, De'Quonn Plowden, Maxime Renauld, Dylan Cardwell, and Emmanuel Sharp.

So you have to unprotect at least three Kings.

Could you do it?

The first one.

Maxime Reignaux.

Okay, so Dylan Cardwell, Immanuel Sharp, and Daequan Plowden-

Yes

But I also think one of the things that makes Malik so effective is letting him have the ball in his hands, letting him create, and playing a two-man game with DeMontis Abonis, which he's already pre-established.

And even I think he could run a great two-man game with Maxime Reynaud and Dylan Cardwell.

So I'm a little perplexed with the Kings seemingly trying to put Malik Monk in a box when they know who he is as a player and what's worked in Sacramento in the past.

Yeah, it's a pretty confusing situation.

Now that's not me blaming Russ or blaming DeRozan.

It just did not work.

So the Kings out of the gate, I agree with you completely, should be emphasizing Sabonis, should be emphasizing Levine while also trying to incorporate Darius Acuff Jr., Maxime Reynaud, Dylan Cardwell, some of these younger guys, finding a balance there.

But the veterans will carry a heavy amount of the load early because that's what they're supposed to do.

Another one you might laugh at me for.

The Sacramento Kings, Malik Monk, Neek Clifford, Precious Achua, Maxime Reynaud, Dylan Cardwell, and, hey, Ben Simmons.

That's the funny part of it all.

But in all seriousness, Malik Monk, one of the sort of few, like, traditional microwave-type scorers off the bench these days.

A good scorer on the interior as he learns to play defense and rebound.

He's going to get even better.

Dylan Cardwell is just, there is not a motor in the nba like him i just think that that bench is like one of those nights where you're playing the kings and you're like what the hell just happened against these guys like it it was just kind of chaos and uh suddenly they've made up a lot of ground on us i'm just saying another one you'll laugh at me for the los angeles clippers i think we're just i'm just saying that because everyone's laughing at the clippers these days but chris dunn keaton wogler depending on who starts i'm guessing it's going to be chris dunn uh just he's a solid option there as a combo guard for that team and and just to sort of steady everything in that starting rotation wogler we have we we got to see what's going on with that dude he had a really bad summer league uh there were a lot of scouts who were high on him coming out of college a little bit of a mixed bag right now a little bit of a weird situation we'll see he's talented that's all i know we'll see what happens but then there's bradley beal bradley beal who knows man he's he's You know, in in L.A., he's a guy who he could go off any night or he could just disappear for like a month.

Who knows? Max Shrews.
