[Game] Battle for the Mitch Richmond Trophy (Summer Kings @ Golden State) 7/10/2024 7pm Pacific

[Tetsujin]

Not having Doug Christie coaching this game also showing. A lot of the tight switching concepts we were running on defense the first two games are gone and replaced by a hell of a lot of man and drop.

 

[Tetsujin]

He's not Alex Len, that's for sure

Thing about Len is that he’s huge and he knows that he’s huge so he never really attempts to get up on guys on defense whereas Timme is trying to hedge on everything and is getting blown by every single time.

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon remains one of the most ridiculously instinctive help defenders I’ve ever seen.

 

[megapoxy]

Who is currently a more valuable player around the league, Podziemski or Keon Ellis

Keon checking the forum at halftime and comes out strong in the 3rd quarter.

Where is Christie? You would think this is rather important.

Yup. One of Len's strength's is the IQ to not jump at everything

 

[Tetsujin]

Where is Christie? You would think this is rather important.

He coached the game in Sacramento last night so they’re letting the guy who coached in SF coach tonight.

 

[Tetsujin]

TJD trying to gouge out Keon’s eye with his off hand lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Still not sure how Keon went undrafted but thanks I guess

 

[Tetsujin]

Colby showing off the playmaking tonight. Honestly might be the perfect guy to have mentored by DDR

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Still not sure how Keon went undrafted but thanks I guess

I think he's going to make more in his career than Podziemski

 

[Tetsujin]

Timme threeeeee

 

[Tetsujin]

Isaac with a nice post pass On that Timme three too

 

[Tetsujin]

KEON FRICKING ELLIS

 

[The_Jamal]

[Tetsujin]

Isaac’s athleticism is impressive

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

KEON FRICKING ELLIS

That's our starting SG. Gonna be a fun year

It looks like UNC great Jawad Williams.

 

[Tetsujin]

Mason deciding to try to impose his will.

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon for DPOY

 

[Tetsujin]

Crawford threee

 

[Tetsujin]

KEON!!!!!!!

 

[Sluggah]

Well this got interesting real quick

 

[Tetsujin]

if some of this self-creation stuff translate to the actual NBA, Keon’s contract goes from being one of the best in the league to one of the best of all time haha

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Damn. Keon might even be a better shooter than I thought. Looks pretty damn pure

He looked like this is the G-league too, some of that is definitely there.

 

[Tetsujin]

Damn. Keon might even be a better shooter than I thought. Looks pretty damn pure

But some podcaster said he can’t shoot.

 

[megapoxy]

The free throws keeping the Warriors up front.
Kings look more focused on defense after halftime and our shots are finally falling.

 

[SacTownKid]

There is a good chance that Isaac Jones could be a player you plug in this season as a depth big. They've obviously been hammering in some of that Kings offense to him and he's looking less and less unnatural as time goes on.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

He looked like this is the G-league too, some of that is definitely there.

He's going to surprise some people in the seasons to come. What a steal this dude is
