- After 2 "near 50 win seasons", the Kings just added another layer to their attack with DeMar DeRozan... but does he fit next to Fox and Sabonis?

Ppl dont realize how many games the kings blew 20 pt leads/ lost to bottom tier teams. If they won those games they immediately would of been top 4 in the west. Now they add DeRozan.... They're gonna be a scary team if they stay healthy
And the missed free throws (which DD doesn’t do) we got this!
Defense might be the problem in the playoffs tho. Hopefully some trades at the deadline
@@jakegilpin1145against the GSW the kings had really good defense, the kings step up their defense pretty well when the refs allow more physicality, you also saw it at the second half of the season this past season
The fans realize & we are ecstatic!
To your point, the Kings played well against the top west team's last season until Monk went down, aside from the Pelicans who swept them.
keon ellis is one hell of gem🔥
FACTS!!! Super stoked we found him!!
Perfect modern 2. Lockdown POA and shoots 40% from 3
He’ll be getting $200M soon lol
Finally a break from reading all the casual comments on twitter and instagram about Derozan’s lack of impact/fit on the Kings current roster/system.
What else did you expect to see at the breeding grounds of degenerates?
This is the best take on this trade I’ve seen. Kings will be top 5, and going to western finals
I'm a demar derozan fan and i'm excited to see what we can do next season
Kings ain’t even making it to the second round lil bro. Derozan is where ball movement goes to die.
@@Skizzy_276you don’t know ball
This is the best move this off-season for any team. Except the Lakers...😂
@@Raidofd please come back to this comment in a few months. It’s obvious you don’t watch any ball, so keep up with the box score.
Ngl my casual take was “whatever this doesn’t make much of a difference”. After watching this I’m reminded of how f**king good Demar was in Chicago surrounded by bs.
Bulls failed DeMar. Front is 💩
Demar DeRozan is the best midrange/post player in the league I think, and since he prefers 1v1s and is good in clutch time, he will share the load with DeAaron Fox, who is also one of the best clutch players in the league. And as it's suggested in the video, he fixes Kings' biggest flaws, and that is huge for a team that deserves to be in the playoffs every season with their rather young core. I really hope it works out for both sides and they can finally make a deep playoff run
Can’t really help it when Lonzo, Lavine and Pat Will all got injured. Bad luck but he carried that offense.
@@connorclinton7650 would agree but Kawhi and Durant exist
@@OmarAbuGhosh-sl7ijhe is better mid range scorer then kwahi. Kwahi is just better at literally everything else.
You forgot to mention that De'Aaron got injured the first half of the season, which was why Keon Ellis was moved from the G-League into the regular season. They needed another point guard to take over. For awhile, it was between Monk, Davion, and Keon until Brown figured out to have Keon be the starter and Monk off the bench, with Davion as a back-up.
Really think Monk could be that instant offense off the bench, like Leandro Barbosa (05-08 Suns) and Jamal Crawford (11-14 Clippers).
If he goes to the bench, I can see him get 6moy
Kings gonna be lighting that beam a whole lot this szn
Kings are gonna be one team that will have me tuning in every night. Quick paced and entertaining! Good vid my guyyy
OKC, Minnesota, Dallas, Denver, New orleans are all better, go ahead and revisit you will look dumb. unless a injury or something happends they are a 6-8 seed and that's being generous. No defense and fox and derozan need the ball to be effective.
OKC, Minnesota, Dallas, Denver, Pelicans are all better, go ahead and revisit you are wrong. unless a injury or something happens they are a 6-8 seed and that's being generous. No defense and fox and demar need the ball to be effective.
@@swish1457 You clearly didn't watch the video did you? Keon Ellis turned them into a top 5 defense. Oh, the Kings are definitely not done this offseason either.
Another reason that's clear u didn't even watch or pay attention, Fox is now a 39% spot up 3 point shooter so if he gets left open when Demar gets attention he's an actual threat. Add monk, Lyles, Keegan, they got shooters out there. You're thinking about it on a very surface level bro.
@@LivinProoof w reply but also, why tf does it matter who might be better, why can’t we tune in to “random teams”. (teams somebody might watch while other don’t care) just let people enjoy basketball.
Fake azz Pacers
One thing that nobody seems to be talking about in the "lack of fit" is that yes Fox and DeRozan are both heavier mid-range, but Fox is left handed to Demar's right. They operate mid-range and favor driving but to opposite sides a lot, so opponents cant really just clog up the mid-range since they will be on opposite sides of the basket constantly. Imagine clogging up the left middle to stop Fox and Sabonis sets an offball screen for Demar to drive/get free. Or even Sabonis helps Monk or Keegan get free on the Perimeter while Demar just keeps the defense honest on his side without even touching the ball
I didn’t even think about that lol
As a die hard bulls fan . This is a great pickup for you guys . Chicago loves Demar . He a middy genius. Yeah he plays a way but he gonna get you buckets and that’s what Kings need .
As a Kings fan I’m used to going on CZcams and seeing analysis of the Kings that was true about 6 years ago. Nice to see someone actually do real analysis of who the Kings are currently.
This is exactly what the Kings needed. Now they don’t have to worry about relying on Sabonis to make midranges.
Tru but Saboner should work on that 3 ball
@@calebm3465 Absolutely not lol. He needs to focus on driving in the paint, getting rebounds, and defense. He has no business shooting 3s.
@@israelm111 That’s exactly what I just said lol. Adding DeRozan means the pressure for Sabonis to shoot those horrid mid range shots he likes to take will no longer be needed. He can’t make mid range shots consistently, what in the world makes you believe he’ll be able to make 3s consistently lol.
I 100% agree with you, that their biggest weakness was someone who could score when we started to slide. Barnes was someone who would generally try to do that by drawing a foul... but when he didn't get the call he also missed the shots. Derozan will be someone that will keep the Kings from sliding and be a playmaker off the 3 point line that we really need.
Fun fact: DeMar DeRozan is only 80 points behind Steph Curry on the all-time scoring list
Yet teams he has been on didn’t do every well in post season. He is NOT a positive guy on a team that needs to go far in playofd
@@uropy i mean when did he ever have teams that were as good as curry's teams? dont be a dum bich
Curry wasn't good until Steve Kerr came to the warriors and tapped into his massive reservoir of potential. It's shallow to compare players to curry's all-time stats as he's only been the top 10 player we all know for 8 years.
@@CrankyConniveryea he doesn’t even need to be compared to curry the fact that he’s top 25 on all time scoring list and most likely will be top 10-20th at end of his career says he’s a bucket 💯
@@uropyyes he is
How this helps the Kings is Demar will take a lot of scoring pressure off Fox and other players. Fox won't have to work so hard now which is scary! He already has incredible speed he will be that much faster! 😄
Nice analysis of the trade man! As a Kings fan, having another lethal option for when the offense gets cold is gonna be great!
Huge issue was letting teams go on massive runs, so at least Demar can keep the pace when Fox has an off night👍
agreed. The amount of diversity an on ball threat brings shouldn't be underestimated. He opens space for players before he commands attention in the mid range. He will make the 2nd string more productive while Fox is sitting as well. Perfect fit for a young team.
I like the trade. Sactown need some offensive creation and derozen is a great piece to do that. I'm excited to watch the Kings this season i really like their style of play
Sacramento knows what they are doing. They are heavily underrated and not given enough credit for their improvements and accomplishments so far. It will be interested to see how the Kings with their newly acquired star Derozan bring.
Can't wait. 💪🔥
Wait til we sign Ingram..
Your explanations are so thorough and comprehensible to everyone. I’ve only been watching your videos for about 2 months now very enjoyable. Keep up the good work G😁👌🏾
DeMar DeRozan improves the Kings FTA and FT%. Great addition.
DeMar is Jordanesque when it comes to the mid range shots
Excellent breakdown of exactly why Demar will take this offense to the next level! Mike Brown is a good enough coach to optimize his strengths and limit his weaknesses. Even with Demar’s defensive deficiencies, we’re not losing anything with Barnes poor defense leaving.
Keegan gaurds everybody lol which was a pleasant progression and surprise last year. He gave Steph fits during the regular season and guarded 1-4
By far the best analysis of this sign! The fit is good, a great shot creator to help Fox not be overwhelmed, and even that Demar isn’t a great 3pt shooter, nobody would let him wide open
Finally not a negative video on why the Kings made a bad move 😂
Great to see someone put a positive review on this trade instead of bagging it.. This is a massive upgrade for Kings and they will want to win and don't care about numbers like some players. He will fit in perfectly and if they add a nice PF to help DS with rebounding, they will be in the top 4 in the west.
plus KEON is gunna get min. not have to wait for his time.
Adding another respected star might get the referees to screw the Kings 20% less, which should be good for 8 more wins a year
and if they dont blow 20 pt leads
💯
Honestly you make most of the other breakdowns look foolish. As a rabid Kings fan for decades I usually just sit and shake my head at all the things most casual analyzers get wrong about the Kings... but this was a great breakdown.
I agree with everything you said! I think what monte needs to understand is that we had the 14 th ranked defense last year while being small with no interior defenders... If we can just get a bit more legnth and interior defense we suddenly have the ability to be a top 8 defensive team
Demar DeRozan would've been a perennial All-Star in the 80s and 90s. The emphasis on the 3 these days underrates how good he is.
People dont realize he is basically upgrading barnes role. The times barnes has been frustrating when he is too passive or cant hit his fts or wide open shots. Demar simply adds another layer to there scoring while giving the kings the fts they needed. Kings lost a lot of close games due to poor ft shooting and when fox/monk gets burned out and relies on barnes to give them extra push.
Barring age catching up, his ability to work in the clutch is def his biggest addition to Sacramento..i swear the Kings could've easily won 50+ games last year if they could just finish the job during clutch time
You are absolutely right! This is exactly how I expect the De"Mar Derozan addition to impact this team. This is the best I have seen to date of how the Kings will inprove this yr offensively.
Kings literally needed one more step to be at the door of legitimate title contenders
I don’t think Sabonis is the answer…..
Just need a weak side rim protector at the 4
@@RenfromBespinwell unless you know how to trade Sabonis for Jokic, what is the answer?
@@iancoelho2198fr just a little more defense and we’ll be pretty solid
Wow what a breakdown
Amazing breakdown man keep it up!!
Love everything you covered here!
I also think that DeRozan can be a capable above average corner shooter. If you look at his numbers in recent years, they've gone up quite a bit (on fairly low volume) but if they can get him to shoot it more, I think that'll also help the spacing
Yeah in the second half of the 2022-23 season he starting shooting more 3s. Not elite but he can hit some every now and then.
As a kings fan this was very insightful!!!
I watch every Kings game last year!! we blew a lot of leads because we shot to many 3s. Outside of Fox and monk we didn’t have players that could slash or create their own shot/midrange range game. Now with demar we can do that. Kings will be dangerous nobody’s gonna wanna play us!!
"Let's start with De obvious" I see what you did there.
Amazing break down 👏🏽 excited to see this team work
They might be the most fun team to watch from a offensive standpoint next season
Bro, watching directly from here in Brazil! Wonderful video, it just made me more excited for Demar to come and light that beam
Fox brother from Compton too. I’m sure he will link with his brother he loves so much…
7:10 how have I not seen this that pass is crazy
I hope Kings coaching stuff gets everything he said in tha video and will make it past 1st round
On point on your analysis!
Great video bro, no cap
I have to say after watching this video twice in the last week , you have put a lot of effort and thought into the kings offensive scheme and obviously have watched them play a lot . Great job ! I look forward to the season to see how it all plays out !
thank you great video
Watched the whole video. Great content! Finally a video with good basketball knowledge and factual stats.
This is a great breakdown.
He brings some of the dawg that is the teams BIGGEST weakness, truly. Offensively, he will be so much fun to watch. Defensively, I am a little bit worried against big teams, but like I said, he can bring some of that dawg that the team lacks. The reason for soo many blown leads and bad loses.
Instant sub, great vid
Great breakdown 🫡
I'm glad the kings finally made a big splash again I'm excited to see this team in action for better or worse let's go baby 👍
Great video thanks for showing love light the beam!!
love the move and the vid
Very well done!
@7:11 that pass was crazy
He better get ready to light the beam 💜 we’re excited for him
Awesome video
Really good breakdown bro from a kings fan. Thanks
My glorious King Demar DeRozan brought light to Chicago even during the darkest times
Very fun team to watch, high energy and a lot action
With Keon having a consistent role the Kings were 4th in the league defensive ranking. Why can't they just start him all year and possibly finish top 5
Coach Brown was finding the right rotations, despite all the downs, they still got 46 wins. This upcoming season, the Kings might switch between Keon and Monk as the starters depending on matchups.
@@_kengi Finding the right rotations? They had the worst perimeter defense in the league and Mike Brown still DNP'ed his best perimeter defender about 15 of the 20 games leading up to the allstar break. WHY??? It made absolutely no sense.
After MB was forced to play Keon consistently, they went from around 20th to top 5 defense literally overnight. It was a glaring coaching failure that cost at least a few wins and likely a playoff appearance, simple as that
@@TheStarsShineForYou Keon rightfully earned the starting spot, but you don't just give up on a potential sniper in Huerter. Before we found out Duarte fell off a cliff, he was deserving of a chance. I'm not saying I agree with Coach Brown not playing Keon sooner. In fact I was pro Lyles starting over Barnes and wanted Kessler Edwards to get some minutes instead of wasting 20 games on Juan Toscano Anderson.
I'm not defending Coach Brown as I had issues with his rotations as well.
@@_kengi Brown treats Huerter very unfairly imo and starting Duarte broke his confidence. Yes, the Lyles over HB move is the other way we could have gotten at least a few more wins, imo (besides capitalizing on Keon). Playing HB an average of 3 more minutes than Monk, and failing to take advantage of Keon cost the playoffs, the way I see it.
It's not Huerter Keon should have taken minutes from, but Davion Mitchell. Mike Brown's reasoning for DNP'ing Keon so much was because Mitchell had "seniority". But if you want to win, you need to give those minutes to Keon instead of not playing him at all.
@@TheStarsShineForYou Earlier in the season, for sure take minutes away from Davion. Post All-Star break, Davion deserved his minutes. If I was Coach Brown, post All-Star break, the main four guards are Fox, Monk, Keon, and Davion. Sucks that Huerter was and still is the odd man out, but I have hope he can still contribute big time. Teams respect his shot even in cold stretches and though his on-ball defense is bad, his team defense is actually good.
This ruled. Thanks for taking the time to create this. No lies detected.
This was sick
THANK YOU! I've been saying the same thing. Very well put also.
good thing is he’s also closer to home, i have sacramento in the 5/6 seed esp. given the new emphasis on defence we saw thjs playoffs, hopefully it continues and rebounding and perimeter defense + good organised offense is more emphasised than chucking threes. which is perfect for the kings
Happy for vids like this, Demar gets so much disrespect. All because of raptors winning without him, but I’d say they could’ve won as well with him on the team and take away Lowry. Was just a lot of moves to focus on a star Kawai that carried them on a crazy run.
Been saying the kings need a creator. When monk went down it showed even more this was needed. Teams would press up against our spot up shooters.
Thanks for covering this trade. I never knew Demar is leader in scoring/efficiency
i like this alot. If im a Kings fan, i would be happy. Will be fun to watch to see how they work
Did I fall asleep to this video? Yes. Did I go back and watch it again? Yes. :P
this is a great pickup for sac
9:26 Literally exactly what happened to the Warriors this last season… very good point
Man I love sac kings videos
As a Kings fan, I am so excited to watch this year. Arguably the best/most talented roster in Sac history.
Thank you this is the best take I’ve seen. So many reports have been this is a non factor, bad defense, good offense, etc. which just shows people haven’t watched demar or the Kings play in two years. While I love HB as a Kings fan, he was the worst starter in the league and Demar coming in contributing on assists and rebounds will be a huge factor that HB did not do last year. There were so many games where HB would disappear and demar won’t have those games. He always is an impact player. Clear talent upgrade.
As a Kings fan its about time
This is the lakers trade only demar is walking into a 10x better situation.
Even in videos, where creators are trying to give Fox credit for his defense… They still forget to mention, he led the league in steals, and was second or top five at least in deflections.
Refreshing to see someone take time and show their work rather than firing off "lol KANGZ" tweets.
The weaknesses that the Kings had at the end of the season were largely a result of Huerter and Monk's injuries, as you stated. But once they get both of them back, those "weaknesses" will disappear. Additionally, maybe I missed something, but I don't see any real reason why the Kings would start Keon next season over Huerter. I think Keon is good, but I feel like relative to Huerter, a disproportionate amount of his value came from his overall energy/tenacity, something that waxes and wanes more often than solid offensive skill sets, the likes of which Huerter already has.
Anyways. I just disagreed with that one point, but other than that, I think DeRozan will indeed be a nice addition to this squad. Having said that, I think a top 5 offense will still be really hard to attain for this team.
Chicago Native and Life long Bulls Fan, good analysis, take care of DeMar. He is one of the League's Treasures. Our system was not built for DeMar at all, he was originally the Third Option behind Zach and our Off Ball Cutters. When Zo was healthy years ago. Our poor record does not reflect 'player skill' for anyone on the Bulls. We are in Rebuild Limbo. DeMar is a Much better fit in Sac. Sabonis is actually a sneaky mean pairing with DeMar. I'm a little jealous. That Hi-Lo Post.
As a bulls fan, I hate seeing Demar and Caruso go but it is what it is🫠
I can’t believe we have Deebo on the team! If Malik is in the starting 5 that’s a lineup that would be tough to beat. Welcome to Sacramento DeMar👑👑👑
Pretty sure that's the biggest player they've ever gotten to sign. I honestly can't remember a decent player that chose Sac since Vlade... and guys in their twilight like Vince or Rudy. To get a player of this caliber is very rare to me as a King's fan.
Demar looks like Kobe & Jordan pulling up mid range and off the post
This analysis was god like
Need 1 more significant addition to change where this team hopes to be .
I see Devin Carter as a perfect fit for these guys as well, another point of attack guy who can light it up from 3, pretty versatile as a defender as well, the Kings are not a team that any West guard wants to see
Finally! An opinion from someone who actually watches our games
derozans true shooting % went up during his second season with the spurs.
Probably the best team on paper since the 02 squad! Hopefully this time they can punch the ticket if they make it that far again 🙏
If they can take a few notes out of the Boston Celtics page book with the new look of Derozan the Sacramento Kings will be a problem more defensive attacking since the Kings have a bunch of Healthy Shooters
Sacramento Kings still need improve their DEFENSE & roster to survive WEST PLAYOFFS
This trade and Portland's Deni Avilja trades were steals. 🎉🎉
The reason the kings FT were low had nothing to do with the players...it's cause they are the Kings man. The refs hate the kings, it's an actual real fact
