The Kings Need to Stop Prioritizing Names Over Upside
Hoop Obsession’s Bobby Gerould joins Matt George and Kayla Anderson to break down his expectations for the Sacramento Kings and why patience will be necessary with rookie guard Darius Acuff Jr. Gerould explains why he doesn’t believe Sacramento needs to force a veteran “mentor” onto the roster, strongly pushes back on potential fits like Ben Simmons and Elfrid Payton because of their lack of shooting, and argues Malik Monk is already the Kings’ best backup point guard option. Plus, he discusses Maxime Raynaud’s ideal role behind Domantas Sabonis, why mentorship can come from anywhere within an organization, his early impressions of Emmanuel Sharp and what De’Andre Hunter needs to provide this season.
