Stanley cup here we come!

In all seriousness, solid sign.

He's a good player who'll really help the young guys but it's still kinda weird. I'd want Fox and Buddy out there as much as possible.

Yeah I dunno, the roster makeup is a bit odd right now.

PG: Fox, Hill, Temple, Mason
SG: Hield, Temple, Richardson
SF: Jackson?
PF: Randolph, Skal, Giles
C: Cauley-Stein, Koufos, Papagiannis

It's a good signing for value and given Hill is a great 2-way player and locker room guy. However the Kings are heavy on guards right now. After they drafted Fox and Mason I thought those two would be the starter and backup respectively. Now though it seems that Fox's minutes are reduced and Mason may not be in the rotation at all.

I'd expect a trade of some sort.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

They'll play a lot of 3 guard

 

[sjsharks92]

They'll have to try and get Temple and Richardson to play the 3. Hill is capable of playing the 2 since he is a decent spot of shooter. Fox can defend the 2 but I wouldn't want him playing off ball too much.

RIP De'Aaron Fox

They draft to prospect Fox to sign... a PG.

Hill took the offer because it was the most $$$ and he may have a chance to start early on. Vivek gon' Vivek.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Throwing Fox to the wolves straight from the get go isn't a good idea. The west is full of great pg's so it doesn't hurt to have him mentor under a respected pro.

Add the fact year 3 of Hill's contract is only partially guaranteed.
