Your describing the 2002 kings lol. Watch the old tape, Webber and Divac could both control the pace and had better post moves than Sabonis. Peja, Bibby, and Bobby Jackson we great shooters and cutters! The 2002 kings were ahead of their time. They truly started this style of play in the nba, not the nuggets or warriors, so technically the Kings own it. Webber originally didn’t want to play the Princeton offense but coach Pete Carril convinced him that his skills would benefit the team more controlling the game or in the high post, than in the low post playing big.

He's more than held his own in key match-ups with Jokic and AD. He's not going to clean up the rest of his team's messes, but he's also not leaving messes for his teammates to clean up.

I think people underestimate Sabonis because he doesn't dominate a game on his own. He needs a good team and good shooters around him and isn't going to dominate the ball at the end of the game, always take the last shot, or beat his man off the dribble, or dominate in the post. Too many people are hung up on the hero ball of the 80's, 90's, and 00's and think of players who _don't_ play hero ball as mere complementary pieces for the "real" stars. They think of Fox and Monk as the "real" players on the Kings who make everything work, and in a sense, that's correct - Fox would get his numbers even without Sabonis. Sure the team will lose all the time and miss the playoffs _(just like they did before the Halliburton for Sabonis trade),_ but Fox can still score 25 any time he wants so he's the "real" star _(this is not shade at Fox, he's legitimately fantastic, but he didn't win much before Sabonis got there)._ It's the difference between looking at one play or one highlight and watching the whole game or understanding the Kings' system. Sabonis doesn't get a ton of highlights, but he sure piles up defensive rebounds, screen assists, kickout assists, and makes the whole offense run smoothly. He's not usually the one who hits the jumper that puts the Kings ahead with seconds to go; instead he's the one who grabbed all those boards and pushed the pace so the game didn't come down to a single jumper and the Kings won by 8 instead of 2. The box score says he's a superstar and if you watch the games it's clear that he's a critical piece of the Kings offense and defense, but he isn't usually lauded as the hero. He's sort of the ultimate role player, but his role is to do everything except hit the big shot.

GSW also have a switch heavy defence that reduces the impact of off ball movement and there for Sabonis’ passing lanes.

7th in the league in fg%. Leads the league in triple doubles. He's had 49 double double IN A ROW.

He's beaten rudy goobert 2 out of 3 this season. The kings have not lost a single game due to Sabonis playing poorly or fouling out all season. He is the league MVP even if nobody pays attention to Sac because without Sabonis, the kings would be where detroit is. Easily this years best player, it's not close, this isn't a discussion, nba fans are simply ignorant. Embiid, the scoring leader, is sitting in 7th place in a much, much, much weaker east. If you think embiid is mvp over Sabonis, you are a 🤡. Jokic isn't better than Sabonis this season, or jokic wouldn't have lost 3 out of 4 against Sabonis this season.

Also Kings need a strong 4 number, not to leave Sab to fight with couple bigs with such a teams as Pelicans.

He is from Baltics not from Balkans, same as Porzingis, Valančiūnas, Bertans.

domantas obviously learned a lot from his dad. their genes are phenomenal if you listen to shaq talk his dad had the potential to be the 90s version of jokic just had too many injuries. if domantas had a bit more long range shooting touch and a bit more height he'd be a nightmare to deal with compared with what he already is. crazy that he's leading the league in rebounding despite being an undersized 5 but if you listen to gilbert arenas talk euros are soft lol.

Also you mentioned turnovers, most of his turnovers are offensive fouls. And looking at the leagues refs and their quality in recently, you can understand how much they betting they do.
