You think we've got it bad? This will be the Kings 11th straight season without making the playoffs. We should see lots of Bender in this one. Just for Pickle, this is THE END of the season for our Suns. I'm already looking forward to the draft and next season. The young guys have been a lot of fun to watch
Thanks for this. Since I don't watch the games in real time I rarely click into the game day threads. Caught up to this one though and rightfully it was a disaster. I know that we are tanking and I've been on board with that all year long, but at the same time I do wish that the young guys show development. That we are still so awful on defense really bothers me. I hope a good summer and training camp can get the young guys ready.
I don't know if we will have year-end summary threads, but I will just get started here a bit. I'm not *that* worried about Bender's shooting. If he's got a really bad shooting motion or is a career 40% shooter over 3 years of solid volume or something then I'd be worried. But if he's missing this wildly on a lot of wide open shots on such small volume, it feels like something's just wrong with him physically (or mentally), that should be easily fixed. The passing is great and a real asset. If he can develop more muscle tone over the summer so that he isn't bumped off a drive or the block so much, then I think he's got a really bright future.
