Hierter, I don’t need to see you being interviewed.

Fixed

 

[Tetsujin]

Winning this out of sheer gritty role player-ness

I don't know who this Hierter is but he surely is not popular around here...

 

[Tetsujin]

Is Kabengele playing this game in skates?

 

[Tetsujin]

Lol Kings-legend Kabengele is sorta awful

 

[KainLear]

Colby's college teammate looks okay... needs a bigger sample size but seems like a hard-nosed worker which this team likes.

KINGS LEADING SCORER KEON ELLIS

Our baby-Kings ran the baby-Hawks out of the gym.

Boum got hustle and defensive instincts

Boum got hustle and defensive instincts

I know we don't need more guards but if we sign a 2-way with Boum by the end of the Summer League I wouldn't be too upset. We still got our other 2-way or are they still belongs to Neemi and Ellis?

Dude has elite elite speed. He looks Fox quick out there. That's as good a start as any.

 

[Caccia]

Kessler Edwards' three-point form is pretty horrendous. No flow, poor balance. He makes Davion Mitchell look like Ray Allen in comparison.

 

[The_Jamal]

Kobe Bufkin 2-6 shooting, 5 PF, 4 TO, 0 AST
AJ Griffin 2-4 shooting, 3 TO, 0 Assist

We are clamping the whole team, but real fun to see us take out their two main pieces.

 

[Tetsujin]

Slawson is scrappy as hell

The kid is a Cali-boy who transferred to Xavier later. Hmmmmmm... I like the synergy with him and Colby, and him being a native...

 

[Tetsujin]

Daum is terrible lol

Rims are happy as hell halftime has arrived

 

[The_Jamal]

Keon honestly has some of the best team defensive instincts I've seen in a long time. So good at playing passing lanes and just knowing where to be to put a hand on the ball.

Interesting that Jordan Ford was a chess prodigy at a young age.

Not fair. Different dogs.

 

[SacTownKid]

Ford could very well find his place on an NBA roster this season. He can play.

 

[The_Jamal]

Daum is terrible lol

Yeah there's just nothing there.

 

[dude12]

If you like defense, this is your game. Will either team score 60 by the end?

 

[KainLear]

Yeah but can he beat Rondo in Connect-4 tho?

Waiting for a 25-20 lockdown win….

Sasha sighting.

For two dozen guys who are trying to make the big league, they shoot terribly from distance: 13.3% for Sacramento, 16.7% for Atlanta. I mean, really, no one is expecting a lot of assists (only seven total between the two teams) but why so many bricks?
