Giannis wasn't guarding anyone until the fourth quarter. The Bucks weren't really even playing defense until the 2h. The 1H was a shooting contest.

That said, Keegan driving and going to his mid range is a welcome development. Necessary for his 4/3 Barnes ceiling.

In a recent article about Murray’s foot injury Coach Fran was talking about his expanded role since he decided to come back for his junior season. They hinted that he was promised a 2 way contract if he wanted it. I wonder if it was the Kings?

Also, it’s hard to imagine he would have gone undrafted last year

When you get to the 2nd round (outside of 30-40), I think guys can have a bit more control of where they go if there's a big mutual interest between parties. They can tell teams not to draft them, and teams don't have time to put up with a 2nd rounder who doesn't want to be part of their organization. In regards to Kris, it was probably a 2nd round promise on a 2-way contract. Not all 2nd round picks are getting rookie scales. Queta is playing on a 2-way last year despite being drafted at #39.

In regards to Kris, it could be possible that the Kings considered him at #37. Personally, I'm not sure I would've drafted him that high, but the Kings probably didn't want to pass up a chance at pairing the brothers up in case he declared.
