The Bighorns have been used less for development and more for experiments so far. It’s time for that to change.
The Kings have been partnered with the Reno Bighorns exclusively for a few years now, but the whole endeavor has seemed to be more of a science experiment than anything else. The Kings hired Dave Arseneault Jr. of Grinnell College to institute his father’s high octane system that revolved around shooting as many threes in as little time as possible, and to some effect, it worked. The Bighorns finished first in the D-League in both Pace and Offensive Rating for both of the last two seasons and it wasn’t particularly close.
