Quincy was the one that seemed more experimental than the others. From the time the Kings drafted him, there was talk of PG conversion. So I think Petrie gets a pass on this one, considering Quincy’s draft slot.

Clearly, Quincy isn’t a PG, and his future here cannot be as a two-guard, considering the talent in front of him. It’s time for the team and Quincy to part ways, IMO.

He seems like a great guy, so here’s hoping he can find his niche somewhere in the NBA.

He may/probably get a few more minutes this next week. Good luck to him and US!

After this long winded argument in Douby or Not Douby , I watched the Memphis game with hopeful anticipation that Quincy Douby would take a leap and become a viable option at least in the short term. When the game was over, I not only felt JustaRealDude’s comments about Douby hurting right now, I saw them in game action. I have to wonder if Douby isn’t committing the cardinal sin of reading the fish wrap or even worse, blogger postings, dying a little inside, losing all remaining confidence. I hope he isn’t, that is what your friends are for, to filter the bad and prop you up. I wish Douby well, he seems like a likable dude, but I will stick to my previous statements and look forward to more Donte (I don’t know how to use the ` with the e) and Bobby Brown with an occasional retro Bobby Jackson sighting mixed in.

Well said, and perfectly put. All I gotta say about that.

having a guy on the roster named Douby.

I wrote the same thing the other night – that 0-9 was the end of Douby’s Sacramento Kings career and possibly the end of his NBA career. Maybe the Kings can move him somewhere for a 2nd round pick. Otherwise, I think he’s going to be fighting for a roster spot somewhere next season. I don’t think he’ll even land a one year guaranteed deal.

That being said, Quincy has to keep his head up and keep working. He’s still young and there’s some talent there. It just needs to be translated from practice to games.

for example Douby / Belinelli

or

Douby / 2º round

I kept thinking how horrible Douby must feel sitting on the bench and watching Donté and BJax, and it made me unspeakably sad.

I do wish him the best, and I hope he finds success. I just don’t think he’ll ever find it here.

That with a handful of exceptions that wasn’t a particularly substantive late draft. In terms of who would have been markedly better there’s the aforementioned Rondo, Farmar and in the second round Miles, Craig Smith and Leon Powe. But Rondo, Powe, Miles and Farmar all ended up on good teams so it probably isn’t fair to use the way they’ve performed in subsequent years as a gauge of Douby’s deficiencies. And while Lowry, Marcus Williams and Boone all seemed preferable in previous years given the roster’s own deficiencies I’d take all of the players who we’ve drafted/signed subsequently.

And remember, once in a blue moon Douby has looked pretty spectacular. Remember the Golden State game three years ago? I realize I sound like his grandmother.

Why Donté Grééné has his arm around Q and his hand down his pants? Save that for after the game, young man!
