Unfortunately I think his jumper needs a lot of work which is probably somewhat due to his ability to penetrate. Makes for a fun transition to the NBA for him I bet

 

[VF21]

i think i know a guy that is pretty good at this. i think he signed with New Orleans though

And he's injured.

 

[Hadlowe]

And then Ben penetrates and air ball but knocks down a 3

That was a lob to Thompson who wasn't paying attention.

 

[VF21]

Good to see ball movement and unselfish play... And plays. I swear to God I've seen plays.

 

[cuad]

McCallum is bad. Put back Jimmer.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

JT is really not impressing me

The scale is definitely tipped in the team offense direction, slowly sliding back the other direction it appears.

 

[The_Jamal]

Gee what a concept to have a coach who actually calls timeout when the other team goes on a run.

 

[spudfan]

JT is really not impressing me

Curious that he seems to be out on the perimeter so much.

Spacing is much improved and players appear to know where their spots are in the sets we're running. And, they get to them much quicker.

Funny how Malone can do that in under 2 weeks and Smart couldn't in 2 years.

Other concerns obviously, but it's clear we have a system and players have a much better understanding of that system.

 

[spudfan]

His shot is so pretty!

 

[The_Jamal]

I have a feeling we'll be seeing plenty of that play this season.

McLemore.

 

[cuad]

BMac runs off those screens sooooo fast.

 

[KingMilz]

Seriously Salmons just get him out of the game seriously he can't contribute in any way dude sucks

Yep. Our guys are getting a lot of clean looks. Our FG% reflects that nicely too.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

How great is it to see a coach using a timeout to draw up a play that utilizes a players strength? running Ben off a screen for a 3 ball, Beautiful!

 

[The_Jamal]

Nice D McCallum

 

[spudfan]

Good defense Ray!

 

[VF21]

OMG! That was planned. And Salmons made it. I'm totally having to rethink how I watch Kings games. I may be able to keep from throwing things at the TV at this rate.

 

[spudfan]

How many threes has JT had in his face now, he doesn't look too happy.

 

[The_Jamal]

How about that though? Malone calls a timeout, draws up a play for McLemore, and we go on a 7-0 run.

i think he read your comment

 

[VF21]

"Defenders can't outrun the pass." I like that and I think I shall steal that for future use.

 

[spudfan]

That's a foul, or should be. Had both his arms squished.

 

[The_Jamal]

McCallum reallly struggles finishing at the rim.

 

[cuad]

That's a good shot for BMore.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

McLemore is gonna be just fine.

 

[VF21]

Okay, I am now officially almost giddy. I had honestly forgotten how it felt to watch a Kings game without screaming in frustration. We're gonna have fun this year, fellow Kings fans.

 

[spudfan]

7-10 FGM-A + 3/4 3PM-A for 17 points coming out of Jimmer and Ben. I like having these shooters out there. Makes the game more fun!
