Have we even made a 3?

Seems like so long ago

Glory days!

More that one year later, I still cannot believe Vlade watched Justin Jackson play and say "Let's draft him!".

Didn't you just two days ago proclaim Frank Mason one of the expanded King's core heaping two paragraphs of praise on him? even the best of basketball minds see what they want some time

 

[Blob]

34 points with 3:00 left in the quarter. I blame Jackson and Mason.

Mason is better than he has played tonight. Jackson is showing his true colors.

 

[Tetsujin]

Our random scrubs are keeping the ball away from our main guys for some reason.

 

[upinsmoke]

I would love to have a player like Monk to backup Fox but Bogi would also be fine.

 

[Blob]

Great, back to the 2/3 screen view while we listen to Calipari drone on.

 

[theclash4u5]

39 points..........

Frank Mason is not good

How much of Mason's issues is he doesn't know where his teammates are going to be? He actually had solid moments last year. Now he's throwing the ball around to empty spaces. He also needs to develop and take an outside shot.

 

[Kingz19]

Aside from B-Mac, who is Memphis's 3rd string SG, this entire roster is now overseas.

Quincy Acy plays good minutes for Brooklyn

Was Acy on the team? I forgot.

New poll: Will Kings be able to score more than 65 pts in any of their Vegas SL games?

My magic 8 ball says “outlook not so good”

I agree about Jackson, he keeps flashing these great games here and there getting everyone's hopes up (not yours) just to disappear again.
Mason though does not appear capable of change. we need a playmaker and his mentality is that of a scoring guard. he keeps playing the same way, head down, drive. Maybe he is too set in his ways to change...

 

[burekijogurt]

Bagley with good denial of ball to Ayton...

 

[LoungeLizard]

Giles has had a few big time moves this game.

 

[Kingz19]

Giles looks really good

 

[burekijogurt]

the dreeeaaam...

 

[Tetsujin]

Random scrub gets the ball from Mason, ignores the open Giles to his side to jack up a random three.

Sigh

 

[Kingz19]

I guess a lot of the guys want to be discovered but I’d personally like to see more things run through Harry

 

[Tetsujin]

Have I mentioned how good Giles is recently?

 

[Tetsujin]

GILESROY!!!!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

D'Angelo Russell interview shrinks the screen because...???

Didn't he have 8-9 assists in Game 1 of the classic? A scoring guard can be a distributing guard when draws and kicks. I still have faith in Mason but he has tested my faith in the last few games. He needs to make better entry passes and play with more urgency. I think he can do it. It is not an impossible task. By contrast I have NO faith or confidence in Jackson. He is WORSE than Ben. I learned my lesson waiting on Ben. I am not repeating that mistake.

 

[Kingz19]

Bagley with good denial of ball to Ayton...

Yeah, so far in summer league he has looked pretty good defensively. Atleast shown that there is upside there.

Considering he was said to be a clueless defensive player it’s been encouraging.

 

[206Fan]

Bag's jumper is a bit disappointing in SL.

 

[Tetsujin]

Guys, Giles is amazing.

Mason draws, but does not kick. been waiting for him to do this whole last season. but yeah, he does have the ability, just appears not to be able (willing?) to make the mental adjustment. hopefully he fixes that cause we dont' have a backup pg.

The hype was real. the hype was REAL
