less ellington!

I would think Kilpatrick would only get 12-15 minutes. But i like that he can create his own shot, and I think he'll get a chance to earn alot because of it.

I want to see what he can do, less Ellington, win or lose the goal is to be competitive always and evaluate.

The team is moving the ball right now. Kilpatrick will have to show a) he can get his shots within the offense and b) pitch in defensively. Pretty sure Marks wants guys that can show they are all in on both ends.

Good luck to him. Me personally I don't have any expectations of him sticking around.

No expectations. If he plays well enough to keep Larkin, Sloan, or Ellington out of the game, it's a good signing.

at the same time we cant just throw d-league lineups on the floor... thats not how you develop or evaluate... its hard to see what a guy like kilpatrick can do if he is surrounded by scrubs and dleaguers. you need some real nba players around these guys to so how they play.

It may boost his confidence playing with other d-league scrubs. He's out to prove his less of a scrub that the others we got on our team

Well, I'm sure he'll be in when Lopez/Thad are in. Not much we can do about the state of the roster at this point but if the guy has something the GM may like good. If not, oh well. no risk, all reward with this one.
