Like the Kings, Domantas Sabonis is much less talked about this season, but the Lithuanian nonetheless remains one of the most complete interior players in the NBA with his 21 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists per game. Last night, against the Pelicans' racket, the Kings interior posted its best game of the season with 32 points and 20 rebounds! These are his best marks of the season in both categories, and a few hours before the meeting, Mike Brown confided all the good things he thinks about himself.
“I'm not saying Domantas Sabonis is better than Nikola Jokic, or anything like that, but for me, he's a better creator than Jokic” the Kings coach explained. “Jokic is incredible, and he can do anything. But it's not as fast. »
Mike Brown can't believe it
Few people will agree with him, but by “creator”, Mike Brown means this ability to create play when he has the ball in the post through his dribbling and his fixations.
There was little waste in the Lithuanian's game, who finished the match 11 out of 15 on shots.
“It’s obvious that the guy who carried us for most of the night and who did a tremendous job was Domas” continues Mike Brown. “Domas was incredible. He scored 32 points and grabbed 21 rebounds (editor's note: corrected to 20 rebounds afterwards) in 34 minutes. He did a phenomenal, phenomenal, phenomenal job.”
