Temporarily for now but stay tuned……
Personally, I've always thought that his defensive capabilities don't compensate for his lack of offense. For how the King's offense is run, I just don't know if he is the right fit as Fox's backup. Malik or Keon seem much more fitting.
Davion is so inconsistent when it comes to hia offensive approach. Some nights he wants to shoot, and other nights he doesn't do jack.
Honestly, Malik is the best option at backup PG with his playmaking ability. Keon pairs very well with Malik due to his shooting ability, while also being able to guard PGs or SGs at a high level.
Give him one more year, 2 max then decide. Locked on kings ❤
What about McGee? He probably only played in the last game because Len got injured.
I think this is the first time I've ever seen someone confuse Houston with Chicago 😛
It’s not that his shot isn’t falling he isn’t a threat because he doesn’t want to shoot.Teams know he’s reluctant.His mentality has to change on offense the same way Huerter had to embrace defense.Huerter is a totally different player when physically into game.I think coach gives Davion one more chance.Hopefully he gets it because spacing becomes terrible with him on the floor.
It was HOUSTON!! Not Chicago!! Two shows you’ve said, Chicago!! You’re better than that. Still love you though.
Algorithm bump😊
Thanks Matt for another great episode. Appreciate your work. Go Kings !
I think some of these young guys showed flashes and mike just wants to see them in actual minutes at least a few times to see what he has and where they are really at against competition in games that count… need to see who these guys actually are…. especially when some of your actual rotation guys have blatant deficiencies like a davion, huerter etc…make heurter get out there and make rebounding a part of his game to keep all those minutes…bonus you may have diamond in the rough…
@Matt George Hey great podcast! I enjoyed it. Shout out to Tristi Rodriguez great guest!
Mitchell is a good player. Much better then Ellis Ellis in the long run won't work.
They're giving Colby Jones time in Stockton to see how he can be the back up PG.
Yes it's only his 3rd year but who has Davion really given an off night to? We didn't even trust our so called best defender to guard Curry in key playoff games, TD took on that challenge and we didn't even resign him smh
This will define his future. If you are out of the rotation, how do you respond? The coaches are waiting to see what Davion brings to his game. Does he need to be better on offense? Yes, but not in just stats. He needs to be more efficient and needs to bring positive vibes and energy (limit turnovers).
