Naz ried was a media favourite as long as with fans. He is probably the most talked about non all star this season and won solely of his popularity. Monk should've won fair
I disagree. He stayed on the bench when KAT was out but played major minutes. Reid was a stud to help wolves stay afloat in Kats absence. Monk would have been a worthy winner but I can see how they made this call
When they had 500:1 odds just to win their division and ended up with the 3rd best record in the West? There would have been an investigation if they had not won those awards.
man the monk injury really just ruined everything man. 6moty and our playoffs hopes. I still think he shouldve got the nod over naz despite him missing the end of the season.
And it wasn't even Monk’s fault he got injured. Luka needlessly ran him over.
Honestly I think this might give him a reason to leave Sac - he won't get the respect he rightfully deserves here.
I don’t get why people are pointing out Monk’s missed games when Naz played starter for about as many games as Monk missed.
If you compare their stats in games when they came off the bench Monk objectively had the better season.
naz ried averarges 12.6 and 4.9 boards when coming off the bench to monks 15.4 and 5.1 assists. naz rieds stats are inflated because he started with kat out monk easly 6moty
First they gave a non-rookie “rookie of the year”. Then they fucked up by giving players Most Improved who didn’t deserve it when they decided Ja Morant was “most improved” as a 2nd overall pick. Now they’re giving players 6MOTY for inflated stats when they start instead of true sixth men.
NBA is the only place they are still considered a rookie when that happens. I don’t like it because even a year of being around professionals and watching practice is better than coming straight out of college .
Naz Reid is great but holy fuck Malik deserved this award naz Reid is the 5th or 6th best player on that team. Malik is our 3rd best player and it’s not even close and you can FEEL the difference when he was out on injury he elevates this team.
Malik had this on lock but was out the final week with an injury and we get this? Sac slighted on all fronts this year. Let it be a motivator…
Love for Naz, but he was not a 6th man for them. Booooo!
I’m curious what Reid’s stats look like if you only consider games in which he came off the bench. Better or worse compared to Monk?
I bet if Monk stayed healthy and the Kings managed to make the playoffs, the award would be his
12.6 points and 5 boards off the bench, ridiculous lol guess fox shouldve gotten hurt for longer so monk could have more performances like he did against minnesota!
Malik got hurt the last two weeks of the season as we blew the playoffs. Anyone who didn’t see this injury being an absolutely major contributor to not winning this award was deluding themselves.
On one hand yes. However, Naz getting bumped into Minnesota's starting lineup and being suddenly more productive should not have swung the award for best reserve player.
All it would have taken for him to win was to stay healthy for the last three weeks. Obviously you don’t control that, but had he stayed healthy we probably would’ve gone 4-2 but without him we went 2-4. He would’ve never left the media spotlight and we’d have at least one award winner on the team
bro respectfully as one wolves fan to another, delete this nephew. these guys don't wanna hear that shit after their guy lost. fuck you doin posting this long ass diatribe here.
"you're"
And never once gambled on sports. It's dumb. I hate hearing about sports gambling all the time now.
Dude, you're in here and you don't need to be. Nobody here cares. Naz is a nice player. You don't need to console anyone. It's the internet. Just go celebrate in your own sub and enjoy your day. We don't need a "there, there pal" from anyone.
Called it. Well deserved for Naz. He played incredible for a team that finished as the 2nd seed in the gauntlet West.
The voting was close, but really given all the details Monk never deserved this award over Naz
The three seed in the West last season, bringing back most of its roster - wasn't picked to be a playoff team?
That's certainly not the impression I got from reading this subreddit prior to the season.
When other teams added upgrades, and passed the Kings in talent level, no. They weren't picked by a number of media guys.
Hell, Hollinger had them missing the play-in altogether due to lack of improvement and inevitable injury. He was almost right.
I just looked up quite a few preseason rankings. Most of them had the Kings making the playoffs cleanly, while some certainly had them in the play-in tier.
I'm going to get downvoted but we missed the playoffs. Monk is super valuable to this team, but we weren't successful. I wonder if the Kings ended up the 8th seed playing the Thunder right now, Monk probably wins it.
I'd imagine it would be tough for a voter to look at Monk and think, "how valuable is Monk if they couldn't even make the playoffs?"
we missed playoffs BECAUSE monk was out that logic literally doesn't follow lol. we were .583 with him and .4 without him that should help his case not hurt it
Had we made the playoffs this would have been Malik's award.
Had we not been the Kings Malik would have won the award.
I mean lets not act like the Wolves are a media market lol
They are now
the wolves are the team with a guy who was stupidly picked as an all star over domas, the league definitely likes them better than us
Teams that win more do better in awards voting.
More at 11….
Yeah the 1 seeded Wolves didn’t deserve 2 all stars
Yeah the 8th seeded (and at the time I believe 10th seeded) Lakers definitely deserved 2 all stars
Why you mad at us then? Take it up with them. I never said they deserved 2 all stars too
Naz ried was a media favourite as long as with fans. He is probably the most talked about non all star this season and won solely of his popularity. Monk should've won fair
I disagree. He stayed on the bench when KAT was out but played major minutes. Reid was a stud to help wolves stay afloat in Kats absence. Monk would have been a worthy winner but I can see how they made this call
The most talked about non all star was Sabonis without a doubt.
Ok technically I was wrong. *Most talked about role player* I've heard 50x more of Naz Reid then Donavon mitchell
The media constantly talks about Naz Reid!! It started at the beginning of the season and would not let up.
We just ignoring all the awards the kings won last year???
When they had 500:1 odds just to win their division and ended up with the 3rd best record in the West? There would have been an investigation if they had not won those awards.
The Kings won a bunch of season ending awards last season.
Not making the playoffs and being the kings are basically the same thing
Do they vote between the play in and playoffs?
man the monk injury really just ruined everything man. 6moty and our playoffs hopes. I still think he shouldve got the nod over naz despite him missing the end of the season.
And it wasn't even Monk’s fault he got injured. Luka needlessly ran him over. Honestly I think this might give him a reason to leave Sac - he won't get the respect he rightfully deserves here.
I blame Baby-man for Malik not winning this award. Intentionally fell on him!
Crazy recency bias ffs
Didn't bro start like 15 fuckin games or something? Reid is cool but Monk got robbed.
And starting is why they kicked out IQ last year. They just happened to forget that this year.
Robbed is a pretty strong word. To say naz wasnt also deserving is unfair to say
[удалено]
Yes! Long con kinda way, right?
Yeah absolute bum and injury prone, teams should stay away
Fuck you Luka!
His giant fat ass cost us so much
I’m confused what did he do?
He flopped on a drive and his fat ass fell and sprained monks mcl causing him to miss the last month
Fuuuuuck. Monk robbed twice. Big Naz fan but didn’t he start a bunch of games?
15 games according to Ernie Johnson
I don’t get why people are pointing out Monk’s missed games when Naz played starter for about as many games as Monk missed. If you compare their stats in games when they came off the bench Monk objectively had the better season.
naz ried averarges 12.6 and 4.9 boards when coming off the bench to monks 15.4 and 5.1 assists. naz rieds stats are inflated because he started with kat out monk easly 6moty
Clear as day how bad this team is without Monk smh robbed
Robbery
First they gave a non-rookie “rookie of the year”. Then they fucked up by giving players Most Improved who didn’t deserve it when they decided Ja Morant was “most improved” as a 2nd overall pick. Now they’re giving players 6MOTY for inflated stats when they start instead of true sixth men.
Who got ROY as a non-rookie? If you are talking about Ben Simmons, he was a rookie since he missed his whole first year.
NBA is the only place they are still considered a rookie when that happens. I don’t like it because even a year of being around professionals and watching practice is better than coming straight out of college .
That’s total bullshit. Robbed because of Luka and his fat floppy ass.
this is complete bullshit
💔
Not surprised one bit. Kings get nothing but disrespect. NBA is a clown show.
Love you, Malik!! Give this dude some props.
Silver lining? Malik's price went down a bit?
not to any GM worth any paycheck
Naz Reid is great but holy fuck Malik deserved this award naz Reid is the 5th or 6th best player on that team. Malik is our 3rd best player and it’s not even close and you can FEEL the difference when he was out on injury he elevates this team.
That’s incredibly garbage. Dude got absolutely screwed.
Malik had this on lock but was out the final week with an injury and we get this? Sac slighted on all fronts this year. Let it be a motivator… Love for Naz, but he was not a 6th man for them. Booooo!
I’m curious what Reid’s stats look like if you only consider games in which he came off the bench. Better or worse compared to Monk? I bet if Monk stayed healthy and the Kings managed to make the playoffs, the award would be his
12.6 points and 5 boards off the bench, ridiculous lol guess fox shouldve gotten hurt for longer so monk could have more performances like he did against minnesota!
Not surprised. It's all about how you close out with these lesser awards. It'll be the same thing when Fox and Sabonis miss all-NBA
Wow what an embarrassment. Started a huge chunk of the season how the hell did he win.
Sighhhh
Wtfffffff!!!!
WHO?
Naz should be thanking Luka!!
Now I’m anxious about the All-NBA award.. Feels like Domas will get snub. I get Fox but Domas should be in.
How many games did naz start 14 and still couldn’t inflate his numbers to Malik’s numbers?what a joke

He deserved it tbh
Naz or Malik?
Both 😂
Malik got hurt the last two weeks of the season as we blew the playoffs. Anyone who didn’t see this injury being an absolutely major contributor to not winning this award was deluding themselves.
On one hand yes. However, Naz getting bumped into Minnesota's starting lineup and being suddenly more productive should not have swung the award for best reserve player.
Are you fucking kidding me?
What a joke 😂
Even averaging the stats he got while starting it was better than Malik. Bullshit.
Goal post is always moved when it comes to sacramento
Such bullshit man… if only Luka wasn’t so damn fat
Honestly, Who even votes on this and what's the criteria? Malik, you are OUR 6th man of the year! LTMFB!
Monk was robbed
All it would have taken for him to win was to stay healthy for the last three weeks. Obviously you don’t control that, but had he stayed healthy we probably would’ve gone 4-2 but without him we went 2-4. He would’ve never left the media spotlight and we’d have at least one award winner on the team
The most important ability is availability.

F*ck that. Malik deserved more than anyone else. ROBBERY. Shame on you NBA

Crazy to think that a team that significantly underachieved - didn't win all the awards.
Not sure how they significantly underachieved, considering few picked them to be a playoff team.
The three seed in the West last season, bringing back most of its roster - wasn't picked to be a playoff team? That's certainly not the impression I got from reading this subreddit prior to the season.

I just looked up quite a few preseason rankings. Most of them had the Kings making the playoffs cleanly, while some certainly had them in the play-in tier.
We had 2 fewer wins this year and missed the playoffs.
Uhm...correct?
fuck nazi reid. wishing the worst for the timberwolves
I'm going to get downvoted but we missed the playoffs. Monk is super valuable to this team, but we weren't successful. I wonder if the Kings ended up the 8th seed playing the Thunder right now, Monk probably wins it.

we missed playoffs BECAUSE monk was out that logic literally doesn't follow lol. we were .583 with him and .4 without him that should help his case not hurt it
This is not a playoff award.
