Beno gets benched?

My guess is that Amick gets one of the guys to say that they don't like Cadillacs
then it’s pine time.

I'm starting to seriously consider
that Houston and Sacramento’s front offices are in cahoots.

I think it has been
Kevin is really helping them out right now, Landry’s helping us, the Artest trade REALLY helped us, we’ll see what Temple can provide.

I'm really surprised they didn't just sign him for the rest of the season
He’s played pretty well for them, and Lowry is still a week plus from being ready to return. Maybe they have another backup PG in mind for a couple of 10 day contracts, to save a few bucks.
Rick has been using a 3 guard rotation of Brooks, Martin and Budinger the last couple of games. So maybe they’re just happy to ride with that.

Yeah I think that money is the case
Temple isn’t in their long term plan so better to just let him go and try to have an opportunity else where than lock him up as a bench guy when Lowry comes back.

Maybe
They probably like dealing with each other since Morey and Petrie are both really smart GMs. And honestly, their trades have been pretty good for both sides. Artest helped them get past the second round while Donte and Omri have helped our rebuild. Kevin gives them some much needed guard depth, and Landry gives us a consistent front court player.

I know what you mean.
I honestly thought we’d keep Temple – 6’6" guys who can even play point a little don’t grow on trees, and he can defend all the way up to the 3 in some cases.
All time minutes played leader at LSU – he’s durable at least.

We might want to consider just combining StR and The Dreamshake at this point

sounds ideal
"I make love to pressure" - Stephen Jackson
Garret Temple
14.9 points in 34.9 minutes in the D-league, 37.2 from 3 (Wow) 3.7 boards 3.4 assists 2.3 turnovers
Here is a couple positive paragraphs about him : "There is very little not to like about Temple in terms of natural physical gifts. He has outstanding size for a guard coupled with an enormous wingspan. He also has fairly smooth (although not freakish) athleticism, although his frame and overall bulk leave a lot to be desired.
The bulk of Temple’s scoring comes via transition, largely in part because he is so unassertive in half-court sets. He runs the pick and roll awfully well for a big guard, making good decisions and coming off of screens close in order to exert maximum effort out of the defense. Passing is an area that he certainly excels in, producing a nice assist to turnover ratio and assist numbers fairly uncommon for someone standing 6’6."

You missed the important part
While there are many traits that may draw you to Temple, there are equally as many traits that he could use work on. Most glaring is the fact that he is an incredibly limited offensive player, producing the second worst scoring rate of any player in our NCAA database.
Temple is a stud on the defensive end, however. His enormous wingspan and solid quickness allow him to get out in the passing lanes and create a ton of deflections. Able to stay in front of his man laterally, his length enables him to block a substantial number of shots for a player playing the guard position. Defensive potential is without a doubt one of the main selling points of Temple as a prospect.

So we're looking at an athletic defensive stopper with limited scoring potential
but can do the little things well. Young Ime?
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
Sounds like a good guy to develop in practice.
If he can be a young Ime, and hit the corner 3, well, he sounds like a great guy to have.
Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance. Vonnegut
Only a 10 day contract so we'll see.
A little surprising we’re doing this this late in the season though.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
Well, obviously he's going to play
No reason to give him a ten-day contract unless he’s going to get some PT.

Ha. How long you you been watching the NBA?
Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance. Vonnegut
Let me rephrase
We’re a team with almost no depth at guard. He should get some PT.
Who are these ten-day contract players you apparently speak of that get zero playing time? What is the point of signing the guy to such a short contract unless you’re going to give yourself a legitimate chance to evaluate the player?

WHOA. Relax.
All I know is that not every move made in the NBA makes sense, like signing a guy for 10 days so you can play him.
However, as the point was made above, Beno was probably pissed Westphal off and is planning on benching him. So it is nice to have some added depth.
Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance. Vonnegut
More likely a health issue
Beno has some issues related to his feet. It is more likely that this is bothering him and the Kings need help.
A 10 day seems odd to me with 12 healthy guys
(though 1 is out the next 2 games). The only answer is GP thinks he has some potential and wants to see it first hand,
There are some guys smarter than me, some guys better looking, I take comfort in the fact that there is no guy that is both.
That's probably the best conclusion to arrive at -
Petrie thinks he may have some potential. So, it should be interesting to see him in action.

Don't we already have one of those on the bench?

this brings the number up to 3, maybe 4. Woohoo!

So in an effort to become a not good version of the Hawks, the Kings are acquiring as many athletic wings and swingmen as possible.
It will all work out.

Well, thank goodness
Between Casspi, Donte, Francisco, Nocioni, McGuire and Udoka I was starting to think we didn’t have enough swignmen.
I would count Tyreke and Beno as well. Still barely half the team.
What they really need is to sign an someone with more experience. Someone well traveled. Someone like Larry Hughes.

He's much more a combo guard than swingman. He's a legit PG, and he's large.
It could be a very nice combo with Evans, as Temple is a good defender. I was sorry to see him go.
Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.
So, you would play him as a combo or point?
Maybe this is a test to find a young player to team with Evans.
Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance. Vonnegut
I think with Evans it doesn't matter.
Play both, let Evans do what he does, and put Temple on the bigger backcourt scoring threat.
In terms of bringing up the ball, I guess I’d let Evans do it if it’s really important to him.
Temple isn’t as slick with the ball as Udrih I think. He can hit an open three, and is good in transition, though. He’ll get a lot of steals simply by putting his arm out into passing lanes, as Williams learned in an otherwise painful outing for us.
Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.
Right on.
Sounds like they want to upgrade the defense in the backcourt. With Evans and Temple, I think their arms may stretch across the width of the court.

No offense: are there any Rockets you wouldn’t be sad to see go?
Sure.
I wasn’t sad to see Cook go. I don’t particularly miss Artest.
I was happy to close the book on McGrady. Hilton Armstrong won’t grieve me if he leaves.
I pretty much hated JVG’s entire bench.

There you go.
Wait.
I do think he’s an NBA player, maybe not a starter, but a rotation guy for sure.

The scouting report on him reminds me of a similar player to

A bit better ball handling, not as good defensively.
Is that about right?

Better ball handler for sure.
Not as good D, but fairly close.
Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.
I fail to see how a guy with a reputedly good handle, good passing skills, good spot up 3, and big size/very good D only lands 10 day contracts?

This sort of thing puzzles me too.
There almost seems to be a groupthink mentality among NBA teams, where there is an orthodoxy about who the best players in the draft are. Teams that go against that can be rewarded, either with Darko, or Dirk, I guess.
I think the consensus is pretty good for about 8-10 picks, but after that…
I think the fact that Temple played so many minutes, yet scored very few points at LSU hurt him a lot. My thinking might be, with a program that has been as good as LSU, why would they play this guy for 4 years in spite of not scoring? A 6’6" combo guard from a good program? Wouldn’t he be worth a 2nd rounder?
Maybe I’ve completely over reacted to what I’ve seen, but I saw a very useful guy, even if only the 9th man or something.

He was signed to guard Evans in practice so he will pass the ball.

I've seen this kid play
and while he’s no all-star, I think he could be a solid pick-up as a back-up PG. Maybe at a Ronnie Price level or so. Also, he’d force defenses into our mis-match philosophy of BIG PG’s.
I like it!
Just a sudden thought
Maybe Omri kept asking where the Temple was , and ……..
