But seriously, folks. This is an article written by someone who hasn't really watched Booker since Kentucky. To me, it's representative of all the "could be as god as McCullum" writers just now realizing the Booker is a complete and generational scorer.

The whole section needs editing.

Kosta Koufos exists, while Georgios Papagiannis plays in the G League. It has to be frustrating for Kings fans. But it’s not a bad thing to have Fox (and Frank Mason III) developing within a multi-ball handler offense alongside Hill, or for Labissiere to get eased in rather than possibly ruining the raw big’s confidence by tossing him in before he’s ready”?. There’s truly no one right way to develop players. Both teams are doing it; they’re just doing it differently.

There's so much wrong there. The Koufos sentence. Starting the next one with "But." The quotation, question mark, period thing at the end of that sentence. The odd choice of a semicolon in the last one. This guy gets paid to write.

I too get paid to write. So I will take a moment to offer my assessment of this section. First, you are all misreading this Kosta Koufos bit. Clearly, it is not meant to be a profound statement. Rather, it is a cheeky jab showing how pointless (and meaningless) it is to give Koufos minutes over younger Kings such as Skal. The quotation/question mark/period thing is a copy editing error. But, "but" is properly used as a contradictory transitional word. However, it should be accompanied by a comma. Finally, the use of a semicolon in the final sentence is appropriate. This is a stylistic choice likely established in The Ringer's copy editing guidelines. Obviously, you could just swap the semicolon out for a period. I personally prefer the use of a semicolon in this instance as the next sentence begins with the pronoun "they". This sentence structure helps to clarify exactly individuals (teams) the pronoun is referencing.

All that being said... I work as a content creator. I am most certainly NOT an editor!

Finally... a professional writing critique on this site! What we've all been pining for. (One shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition.)

I probably should not have outed myself here. In fact, there is almost no way this goes well if my regular posts fall under additional grammatic scrutiny...

Now, I should probably get back to work because I am on deadline today to the tune of about 4k words : (

I think we all understand that we write like we talk here. It is as if .net is your local bar & we are all just shooting the s***.

And that is exactly what makes this place so awesome!
