nice fake by ben.

 

[Tetsujin]

Ray and Nik aren't getting any minutes?

I'd imagine we're trying to figure out who to bring in for training camp between James/Brooks/Cunningham

 

[hrdboild]

McLemore did a nice job drawing the foul on LaVine there. Veteran move.

 

[Tetsujin]

B-Mac with a nice wrap around pass. Who is this guy?

 

[Tetsujin]

And now a nice catch and shoot. What the hell?

 

[jcwkings]

Brooks and Cunningham for camp I say.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Give Ben the +1 on that 3! full body contact

 

[kingsboi]

Oriahki is a big body, isn't he. What's up with Nik? haven't seen him in there yet.

 

[Tetsujin]

Ben suddenly looking like a legit NBA player today. Composed play. Playmaking. Solid defense.

 

[hrdboild]

Ben is clearly the best player on the floor today. Good for him. He's looking a lot more composed and in control of his limbs for a change.

 

[chasen4r1]

Don't be that guy...
Using phone and at the game so yeah

Just giving you a hard time, thanks for posting even while at the game!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Stauskas is really good at drawing fouls on jump shots

 

[hrdboild]

Wow, now McCallum with a great take to the rim and finish. These guys are really looking good today.

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

sweet finish by ray.

 

[Tetsujin]

Alexi Shved now resembles a lost member of New Kids on the Block

 

[hrdboild]

55 points at the half, that's pretty impressive. Especially considering how we started this summer league.

 

[LA King Fan II]

Would like to see Stouskas do more than just launch 3's. To be honest, Lavine seems to be far more skilled with the ball and stronger.

 

[Albatros]

Stauskas has done way more than "launch 3's." but if he's wide open I hope he puts it up.

Honestly he's not really featured that much and he's very unselfish, sometimes to a fault.

that's a pretty dumb comparison

 

[Uncia03]

A really encouraging half by the kings.
We are really undersized but are only down two on the boards.
Nik didn't play much that half, but Mohammad couldn't stop brooks who just took him whenever he felt like it.
Ben hit his open shots and played in control, looking good he entire half.

Lets hope they can sustain this type of play.
Stauskas should be pretty fresh due to a lack of playing time in the first.

Well to Lavine's credit, he's been fairly in control today. But it's also important to note that Stauskas sat out a lot of the 2nd quarter and didn't need to force the issue because Ben McLemore suddenly was possessed by the ghost of Jesus Shuttlesworth.

Nik hasn't had as many opportunities so far in this game, but if you look at their numbers so far they're pretty similar. LaVine has used his athleticism on the boards and he maybe looks a little smoother out there in his movements but Stauskas' strength is that he plays under control. He's limited his turnovers much better than Zach and he's shooting 50% from three. I'm very happy with what I've seen from Nik so far.

Meanwhile Charlotte curb stomping New Orleans despite another rocky start by Vonleh

 

[Hallama]

Damn Ben looks good so far today.

 

[Hallama]

Nice out of bounds pass from Nik!

they added cody zeller to their summer league team. i bet that has a lot to do with it.

 

[funkykingston]

Best stat to me is that as a team the Kings currently have 12 assists compared to 4 turnovers.

 

[dude12]

Reading some encouraging stuff here...I've got to wait for tomorrow morning to watch.

 

[Tetsujin]

More like Fe-suck-o, am I right?

 

[LA King Fan II]

At the risk of numbnut Vivek staying I'm dumb again.

LaVine and Stouskas both guys two guards in college, similar bodies. Coach thought Stouskas could ad some ballhandling skills....

Good comparison, unfortunately they are not even close in ballhandling. Lavine looks very confident with the ball in his hands and Stouskas doesn't look strong taking the ball to the hoop right now. If he can do more, just like to see it.
