What's most frustrating is to watch Bagley be a total afterthought offensively. C'mon, run something easy so he can get involved here. It's like they have no idea how to use him.

They're just leaving him at the top of the three pt arc to space the floor and not getting it to him. He can't rebound from there. Can't post up. ...

Harrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Kingsfan23]

Whoever picked Bagley will be fired after this season, which is overdue, is the only good thing about seeing him play like this

 

[Joshoua]

I’m only on page 4 and not watching the game but it sounds like Jeorger is still bull craptin with the offense. Get Blatt in here by February if we’re not running a modern day offense

 

[The_Jamal]

Gee, wonder what it's like to put your insanely athletic big in the PnR.

Did you literally type that while he was scoring the ball?

 

[sactowndog]

Giles and Skal may be our best bigs

It's actually ok, if Bagley realizes that his Defensive effort is more important. If he gives his all on defense, satisfactory. Let other players pick up the offense.

 

[The_Jamal]

Hey we almost ran Bagley in a PnR.... almost..

 

[206Fan]

Bagley looks not very good right now. He needs players who can feed him lobs

 

[sactowndog]

Can’t wait to see the ball movement with Yogi, Bogi, Beli and Giles

It could help in the long run but he wasn't drafted number 2 because of his defensive role player tendencies.

What's up with the crapting on WCS? He's got 14pts 12rebs 2asts on 7-11 shooting. Higher TOs, but that's what happens when Joerger wants to make him run the offense.

Didn't you get the memo? WCS has been anointed by some to be the target of unending scorn and derision for this season.

Can't catch lobs from the 3 point line.

 

[swisshh]

Bagley should play at the 5 to take advantage of his height and speed. He looks more comfortable right now. It also puts him in offensive rebounding position, which is a strength of his. He created two extra possessions in a previous play.

This goes for all Kings: Their bigs are doing multi-move spots to attack in the lane against multiple defenders. I don't think this works well in the modern game. I've seen Willie and Bagley both do this. One or two moves, score. That's it. Quick entry and quick attack before help gets there.

 

[joemama]

That was an UGLY hook shot by Bagley
sheessh

 

[SacTownKid]

The Suns match the Kings midget wing trio with size, size and size. I think we've seen this before.

 

[SCKingsfan]

Can't catch lobs from the 3 point line.

oh, it's worse than that

I mean this is all Ayton is literally doing tonight. Don't think I've seen him go ISO in the post once all night.

Suns are putting him in good spots, we aren't.

 

[joemama]

Yogi 4 threes made
All the rest of the team 4 threes made

 

[SacTownKid]

He's still raw but you can see some nice moves in the post from Bagley.

 

[Ozymandias]

Pat McCaw anyone???

Make it happen Vlade!!!


I used to tune into UNLV games to watch McCaw!! He's clutch, good team player.

 

[Ozymandias]

He spins so quickly, u can see it even on that travel.

 

[The Effort Police]

Did you literally type that while he was scoring the ball?

Well, I'm typing this after he missed a couple more shots and traveled.

Suns are putting him in good spots, we aren't.

Ayton is going to be the better version of Cousins. He's freaking dominant out there. If he catches the ball under the rim, he'll just use his strength and put it up... something we haven't seen from any of our bigs this game.

 

[kingsboi]

Bagley is strictly a post player right now....don't see him attempting many three pointers

 

[Suicide King]

Will be interesting to see how we look with BB8 and the rest of our squad healthy.

 

[swisshh]

I'll say this for Kings fans:

With Booker out, De'Aaron Fox has clearly been the best player out there tonight and all the Kings troubles come from when he's not out there.

And Dragan Bender would be traded if anyone wanted him. Yikes.

In fairness to him he's taken like 3 shots. He does look a bit out of it on offense with his spacing and movement. On that 2 on 1 with Buddy he ran right to the defender which caused that turnover. He's got to find his place.
