Modest, discreet, but lethal. That's Domantas Sabonis, a player who perhaps doesn't receive the media coverage he deserves considering his numbers and impact on the game of Sacramento Kings. His evolution in recent years is impressive and is not valued as he should, which is why Mike Brown has made strong statements that catch everyone's attention.

To think that a center in today's NBA is better than Nikola Jokic can only be considered a utopia and impudence, but Mike Brown believes that Domantas Sabonis performs better than the Serbian in one aspect of the game. Interestingly, the coach of Sacramento Kings refers to one of the great virtues attributed to the one from Denver Nuggets, such as his ability to create plays from the top and distribute the ball to his teammates.

Statistics from the past season showed that the time the ball spends in the hands of Domantas Sabonis is the second shortest in the entire NBA, just behind Davis. In addition, the Lithuanian was among the top three players who touched the ball the most on average during a game. While this may not be the best season for the Kings' player, he continues to demonstrate great tactical acumen and vision, which he hopes to further develop after receiving the strong support of Mike Brown. "I'm not saying Domantas is better than Nikola, but I do consider him superior in playmaking," he said. There you have it.
