Sacramento Kings sign Corey Brewer for remainder of season

Corey Brewer is back to give the Kings wing depth and a veteran presence.

The Sacramento Kings are signing Corey Brewer for the remainder of the season, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. Shams also notes that Brewer picked the Kings despite other offers being possible.

Today was the first day teams could sign players to open roster spots and the Kings wasted no time.

Our own Sanjesh Singh wrote earlier today about Brewer being a good choice for the Kings in free agency.

Brewer is an excellent use of the Kings final roster spot. He’s a versatile wing who can play and defend multiple positions. Brewer is capable of scoring in bursts, and is one of those quintessential guys who is ready whenever their number is called. He’ll be a good locker room presence, and won’t be upset if he isn’t playing a lot of minutes. He’s already played alongside many players on the roster as well.

Welcome back to Sacramento, Corey Brewer!

Brewer is a great choice given the lack of options out there. Familiar with most of the guys too

So, I’m a bit confused. I thought Brewer had signed through the rest of the season before the shutdown? I know he was on some 10-day deals, but I thought he had inked a deal for the remainder of the season? Can someone clarify?

Ok, never mind. I’m thinking of last season. It’s been too long without basketball to keep my mind straight.

It’s nothing Earth shattering but I think this makes sense. Wing depth is an issue and at least Brewer plays hard and can play some defense if asked.

Love this signing! If Brewer & Holmes are on the court together, the energetic momentum could swing the Kings to some surprising victories.

I like Brewer generally, but he wasn’t able to grab a job in the NBA this season. So not sure I’d expect to see him on the floor a ton.

I can’t remember what podcast I was listening to, but they basically called Brewer a fake 3&D guy because he’s basically sucked at shooting threes his entire career, but takes them at a pretty high volume. I looked at his stats, and he actually has the 3rd lowest 3P% ever (28.4%) for a player that’s attempted at least 1000 threes.
 
To his credit his shooting and scoring percentages were all basically career highs last season in the 300 minutes he played in Sacramento. That’s obviously a small sample size, but hopefully it’s an indicator that he can be a net positive in 10-15 minutes off the bench. Plus he seems like the type of guy that won’t need a ton of conditioning. He just always seems to play hard even in his advanced age (which is somehow 7 years younger than me).

I know it’s not your take, but I’d say that’s an oversimplification by the podcasters. 3&D wasn’t even a defined concept when Brewer entered the league. He was the 7th pick in a very weak draft because his athleticism, length, and tenacity indicated he’d be an immediate contributor defensively. Everyone knew his jumper was poor. His 13 year career indicates that assessment was correct, even if there was early hope his offense would develop enough for him to become more than a role player.
 
I guess the point the podcasters were trying to make is that he took too many 3s for an inefficient shooter, but a career average of 2.2 3pt attempts doesn’t exactly make him a high volume chucker. Not every defense-first player needs to be analyzed through the 3&D lens.

If I remember correctly the discussion was regarding his time in Houston. Basically, it was just a general point that in the past a 3&D wing was someone who excelled at both skills. The definition has evolved over time to essentially include any player whose primary responsibilities are to take spot up 3s and guard the perimeter regardless their competence in one or both responsibilities.

Thanks to Brad for drawing Corey Brewer, which compelled Corey Brewer to sign with the Kings!

Ironically the head coach could play SF, not that he was any good at that either.

Love the guy!
 
My favorite story:

Early this season, Brewer, who was traded to the Lakers in late February, took a pass on the baseline, drove, spun, shook two defenders with a 360 and missed a point-blank shot at the rim. “Coach, I did my thing,” he told D’Antoni, “but then I got to the rim and just ran out of talent.”

“Ran out of talent,” D’Antoni repeats. “Best line in the history of basketball.”

On this hand: Love me some Brewer. Fun, energetic vet that gives you tiny bursts off the bench and entertaining flashes! Awesome!
 
On that hand: This is very much a zero-impact move in the grand scheme of things. So, meh?

What kind of high impact move could you realistically expect given the nature of events?

Zero.
 
Plus, the Kings are their own circumstances, so the nature of events has little impact on that analysis for this FO at this time!

Create an environment/competitive team where impact FAs are interested in coming.
 
So you know, draft Luka, etc. etc. etc.

So what does that have to do with the Corey Brewer signing? Particularly in this circumstance?

Right. A move for depth that provides little impact at best. Or most likely zero impact.
 
Again, what does this say about the FO if anything at all? I don’t get it.

It seems like you get it perfectly.
 
Compare:
 
“Right. A move for depth that provides little impact at best. Or most likely zero impact.”
 
with:
 
“On this hand: Love me some Brewer. Fun, energetic vet that gives you tiny bursts off the bench and entertaining flashes! Awesome!
 
On that hand: This is very much a zero-impact move in the grand scheme of things. So, meh?”
 
 
[insert “they are the same thing” meme]
 
 
I said nothing about how this individual signing judged solely on its own reflects on the FO. But, since you are asking for my opinion on that: it is a perfectly reasonable, albeit inconsequential, roster move.

The Kings could’ve signed former Cal Poly great David Nwaba to a two year deal instead.

I think current Stockton Kings Assistant GM, and former Cal Poly mediocre, Drake U’u would get partial credit.

I am assuming that the down vote is for the “Love me some Brewer” part!

I’ll admit that I wanted Shump just because if we could go back in time and take “The Scores” but replace Willie with Richaun we totally would’ve made the fucking playoffs.
 
But Brewer is pretty awesome too.
