[Game] Summer League Game 2: Kings v. Nuggets, 5 p.m. PDT/8 p.m. EDT
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
Just summer league.
Ours is a bad squad but that doesn't matter.
1) Boogie showed up and looked happy, albeit with Malone. Sat next to and chatted amicably with Vlade for a long spell. The pressure would be on Karl now to get along.
2) WCS flashed some more of that defensive ability and ability to run the floor.
3) Moreland was more of a factor and looked more like the guy who hustled his way into a contract last summer. Playing the same WCS role whenever WCS leaves the floor, but noticeably smaller than WCS though. Pure PF if he does stick.
And the rest is kind of who cares. Anderson not showing much this time, but ok, he's the 12th man maybe. Summer league chaos. Just looking for your players of interest to flash stuff, and ours did. Got a bonus when Boogie showed up and looked happy. Its enough.

WCS made a lot of guys miss that tried to shoot against him (not sure what the official numbers are) and had 2 blocks. Would like to see him get more rebounds, though. We mostly got burned defending the 3, so that's not really on WCS. It's not really comparable to say Mudiay is better than WCS based on this game, but Mudiay did look good.
Always was why so many of his comparisons were off base. And as I said at the time, rebounding really does translate pretty well from college to teh pros. Don't rebound in college, probably won't in the pros. And vice versa.
Thing is alongside Boogie, if that is the pairing, its really not going to matter that much. Well, if he only grabs 1 it will matter. But he can be below average and that's fine. Still gets me thinking 1 of our final 2 big mannish adds should be Reggie though. As long as WCS is always out there with a Cuz, Koufos, or Reggie, the boards will be taken care of.

Aside from Gobert and Favors.....of course.
Honestly Utah would have to be one of the few contenders. WCS may not rebound, but he looks to be an off the ball menace, and Koufos had better defensive numbers than Gasol last year.
With Bargs out of the way I'm half hoping we look back into Mbah a Moute. Getting greedy.
I think you guys owe him a roster spot just for his dad's service.
Given your PG situation he might start.
Heck, given your PG situation his dad might start.

I don't think Burke will be on the team next year but Dante Exum is going to make a big leap this year. He is already a very good defender but he is going to be a much better play maker.

Funny, the Kings true starting 5 was among the best in the league when they all played together last season yet nobody takes that very seriously. But I guess this is different somehow.
