Nickeil Alexander-Walker Rumors (original) (raw)

Keeping Karl-Anthony Towns likely would have meant trading Naz Reid, Nickeil Alexander-Walker

The team boasts a carousel of long-limbed athletes of all shapes and sizes: power-based wing stoppers in RJ Barrett, Dillon Brooks, Lu Dort, and Ejim; more rangy and nimble point-of-attack defenders in SGA, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Andrew Nembhard. Frontcourt size and depth are the team’s most apparent deficits; the team has no natural rim protector, and its bigs are among the oldest players on the roster. “We can be dominant at a bunch of positions, but everybody’s going to have to be involved in the rebounding,” Triano, who has coached alongside Fernández on the Kings bench over the past two seasons, said. “We’re going to have to play faster than most teams. A lot of teams have a lot more size. So let’s spread ’em out, and let’s speed ’em up and down the court and be the quicker and more aggressive team. I really trust Jordi with coming up with ideas and schemes with the roster the way that it is.”
