Sasha Vezenkov: Sacramento’s Newest MVP | Kings Film Room

[@jaker4ster]

Man, this channel deserves WAY more subscribers. Great stuff!

[@jayrichjlr]

I see him starting, taking HBs spot. This will allow barnes to be more a focal point in second unit while also being the veteran to guide the beam team. Imagine Fox Kvon Threegan Sasha and Ox as a starting 5. LTB

[@briangoodner8680]

Nope. Not happening. HB is a 3. Sasha is Keegan's backup at the 4. Keegan is a 4/3 whose defense would have to improve to ever become a starting 3, and the Kings already have a glut of backup 3's and Sasha ain't ever going to be one of them with his slightly slow feet. Mike Brown isn't taking HB out of the starting lineup, which is a good thing because Monte didn't re-sign Harrison to the tune of $54 million over the next three years just to come off the bench.

[@mysportisyourpunishment73188]

@briangoodner8680 True but Monte allows Mike Brown to make the final call. Let the coach do his job and coach regardless of compensation.

[@user-yx2mc9vm6x]

Trade barnes for a first

[@kevindown1592]

Thank you for your analysis. I knew so little about him before your video.

[@KingsFilmRoom]

Of course!

[@freddixon1883]

Thank you very much. You did an awesome job and I can’t wait to see them on the court this year 🎉

[@carrisonvaughn1671]

Sasha will be huge for us this year, he basically played in the exact same system now with better players. Seamless transition I can't wait!

[@ВеселинКриловски]

Thank you, man, great content, perfect analysis.

[@OfficialTomsSkujinsFanClub]

your breakdown is elite keep up the good work

[@transience242]

My first guess is he steps right into Keegan's role from last year, which makes me wonder if he'll play opposite him so that he isn't duplicative when Keeg is on the floor. But, if Keegan shows more on-ball prowess in year 2, he might be the perfect guy to pair with him as a spacer and relocator. He seems like a good pickup either way and I just wonder what his role will be and how big it will be.

[@FriendsWithYourGardener]

Damn, he can really shoot that thing. With NBA floor spacing, he might get even better

[@eljeferaider]

Nice breakdown. Just worried about those defensive clips you showed us. Makes me think Noel and monk will come in with sasha for red velvet, keegan and domas. On defense with a front line of domas, keegan, and sasha might be big trouble. All 3 are a little slow laterally side to side.

[@Taddy707]

Perfect fit!!!

[@jordanstarr2992]

he looks like he has so much upside. surprised i havent heard much about him. his shot is crazy fast

[@Potbelly76]

I anticipate a lot of Vezenkov / Noel 2nd unit lineups.

[@MeritoriousLee]

I have thought for a minute that Kings might be pretty good next year. Adding a low key but High level player can only help. With Sabonis he might be a real beast if things go well. I hope he plays so well he becomes the starter.

[@kevmaticbeats]

Will thrive in Coach Brown’s offense. Excited for this signing

[@NorCalBowler]

Hopefully the coaching staff can get him to be a better defensive player. But he’s going to be a great off the bench player for the second team.

[@thecoreywallace]

When the kings need a bucket, a lineup of Fox, Monk, Murray, Vezenkov, and Sabonis is ABSOLUTELY LETHAL!

[@Kinlui1022]

Great work as always. It's shaping up for the Kings to once again be a sleeper underdog since most main stream media will likely assume last season's Kings to show up... haha Do you think Sasha will have a chance to get ahead of Barnes/Murray in the packing order and start for the Kings this season? Or taking Monk's 6th man spot? It should at least be interesting to see a Lyles/Sasha combo with both big men stretching the floor.

[@KingsFilmRoom]

Definitely think there’s an outside chance Sasha could surpass Barnes at some point. A lot of that is dependent upon Keegan’s development defensively imo. Think Keegan is pretty solidified as the 3rd option going forward

[@Kinlui1022]

​@@KingsFilmRoom I agree... especially if he could create his own shots off dribbling in the regular season like he had displayed in the Summer League, I think Keegan will comfortably be our 3rd option by then.

[@michaelaustin8309]

There would be absolutely nothing wrong with last year’s 3 seed Kings showing up this season.

[@kosmasroussos9925]

we can't stop crying from losing Sasha........................................

[@parashkevdraganov2395]

БЪЛГАРИ ЮНАЦИ !!!

[@zihuatenejo]

man he will do well in the warriors team

[@bniee8359]

He's good down low, I think he could run the point center at times

[@jonathanrios895]

His release is nice fast. He can score its funny how u don't need to be that fast on offense but on defense u need to be be real quick. Offense you can set your man up and use screens and smart cuts that make you fast almost like joker he not fast but knows how to set up his move plus his dirk like fade

[@burningknuckle26]

Vezzy😮

[@therockneverstops8261]

His acquisition for the Kings is a set up for a mid-season trade with Barnes at the center.

[@whiskybarato]

There's logic in it.

[@markharrington7843]

How do you rate his rebounding ability?

[@marcusjones9425]

💜

[@ibmacgrady6666]

how many minutes is colby jones getting

[@kevinlo4989]

w video

[@eljeferaider]

Ya as exciting as the offense could be, the defense might be worrisome. Maybe the plan is to keep throwing shooting out there and get 130 to the opponents 125.

[@shamptown]

Hopefully playing Sasha in the second unit with Davion and Chris Duarte will limit his defensive liability

[@bniee8359]

2:03 WTF LeBron can't believe it

[@Dojocartwheel]

I just watched a video breaking down why wemby, Chet and scoot are the favorites for ROY……yeah….I think they are forgetting someone^

[@YoBrand15]

In my opinion, he should start over Barnes and we have Keegan at SF. Fox and Sabonis with Huerter, Keegan, and Sasha spreading the floor (also Sasha is way better off ball than Barnes) would be absolutely deadly. Plus our defense isn't going to be good either way, so the defense we lose here is worth it. Then you have a veteran like Barnes leading the second unit. Really hope this comes to fruition at some point this season.

[@samshaw497]

He definitely needs some development on other parts of his game, especially defensively, but he could start over Barnes in the second start of the season if he looks ready

[@briangoodner8680]

FYI: Barnes is the 3 and Keegan is the 4. Sasha is a backup 4. Keegan is a 4/3 that would have to improve his lateral quickness to start in NBA as a 3 someday.

[@YoBrand15]

@@briangoodner8680 lol I know. I'm saying I'd like to see keegan move to 3 and sasha start at 4

[@briangoodner8680]

@@YoBrand15 HaHa Gotcha!There’s a bunch of Kings fans that don’t know Sasha doesn’t have the foot speed to play the 3 defensively. Maybe by the time HB’s new contract is up in three years Keegan’s defense will be much improved that he can permanently move to the 3 and HB willing to be on 2nd unit on smaller contract till he retires. HB can play the 4 spot also.

[@jasonhardin6608]

Brown, Jordi, and DC will help his NBA defense.

[@stevenvicijan4338]

Mean Sabonis and/or Len

[@Scarecrow367]

Sasha will beat out Harrison by Christmas. IMO.

[@kevmaticbeats]

Will screenshot this!

[@briangoodner8680]

Nope. FYI: Barnes is the 3 and Sasha is a backup 4 for Keegan.

[@Scarecrow367]

Things change@@briangoodner8680

[@billkevin4501]

Take care of him sac fans. He will be an amazing fit for you guys. And if u dont give him minutes, please bring him back 😂

[@carrisonvaughn1671]

Defensively he will be a liability to say the least but mismatch hunting is the way of the game so it doesn't really matter, the weak link will get exposed on every team every night lol

[@DMoney800stacks]

i hope he can play defense

[@terrytenley9404]

he only played a few games and was injuried all the time.. Thus he never helped the team in anyway..

[@enjoylife1239]

One thing for sure...dude will be nightmare for any defender in NBA....dude allways super active on offense and allways moving without a ball...dude game reminds a lot of klay thompson...
