I can't wait to see Fox throwing lobs to him.

At that point Holmes and Bagley can share the floor to start the 1st and 3rd and split the remaining 36 minutes a game at the 5. Bjelica and Barnes should play the majority of the minutes at the 4.

I would also like to see Bagley start the 2nd and 4th with our bench units because he thrived in that role last year.

I am still not ready to write Dedmon off. He has a history over the last two years of being a good role player. Once we get Bagley back and especially once we got Fox back, I think Dedmon will start being playable again.


Dedmon can fit but it's starting to look like Walton and crew might be writing him off for you. The last two games he's gone with an 8 man rotation and played Bjelica at center. Walton sometimes goes to players after not playing them multiple games but Dedmon has worked himself into that 4th big at best role from the looks of it.

Holmes is absolutely killing it but I'll need to see how the Bagley pairing works.

Which stupid FA signing rule are you referring to?


This is something I’ve been wanting to give you huge kudos for some time, but for whatever reason I’ve held off, perhaps thinking this run from Holmes won’t continue. And you know what, it won’t, but that doesn’t take away the fact he’s been tremendous for the Kings. We would be bottom few in the league without him and I know many don’t like to give credit, but you called pretty much this so great work!
