Kings @ Jazz 6:00 PT APR 8 2015

Ray hasn't been totally convincing over the stretch either. As of this moment are folks 100% on him being the back up next year? I like the kid and want better from him. I do think he has it in him but expected him to dominate a little more sans Collison

Nope. Miller will be the backup. I think Ray is gone this offseason, probably as trade filler or to offload salary. He's a hundred times better than Jimmer, but has the same problems as him in that he's an undersized two guard. Lacks PG skills and SG size. He also struggles defensively against quick PGs, and often lacks the size to guard SGs. Utah totally had their way with him tonight. His ceiling isn't far off if he hasn't reached it already, which is too good to be a third string guard, but not quite good enough to be a second stringer.

Wow, can't remember when a guard tandem going 8-19 meant "having their way with him".

Ray's cheap, if it helps us in a trade ok....if it holds the fort down as the third guard deep ok.

Relatively meh to me.

Which right now the backup PG spot with the Kings is relatively "meh" anyway. He looks to have the tools to be a good role player and a player that already has established some chemistry. He's not a keep at all costs kind of player but a cheap backup at the PG/SG who can defend and play that energy role? Yeah, he can pull that off and I think he comes in next year ready to go if he's on the team.

There's two sides of the court.
