[Game] Summer Kings vs Grizzlies: Las Vegas, NV - July 12th, 2024 @ 6:00 PM ET

[Capt. Factorial]

Sounds like I picked the right week to not skip work for a Summer League game.

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

WTF…they lose the feed to the game?

And this is a bad thing because...???

 

[Jdbraver137]

Nobody beyond the 9th or 10th man is going to be in the regular rotation for the Kings. That's where you look for guys with a talent for spots. Which Edwards has as a defensive wing

Disagree. he had is chance. He didn’t perform. Move on to the next one. Just like Keon, make the most of your minutes if you want to be on a roster.

 

[sactowndog]

I saw him play in many,many games. He isn’t it. If he gets minutes it means we are screwed.

i understand. But his C&S percentage was pretty good.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Maybe Doug pulled the plug on the feed…he doesn’t want anyone seeing this trash.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Is the Stream working? The game is still being played

Yes the stream is dead. We are glad the players are at least technically alive!

Not sure exactly what you're disagreeing with? That the Kings will be able to sign somebody who is an 11th/12th man, who gets regular rotation time?

 

[Jdbraver137]

i understand. But his C&S percentage was pretty good.

He shot less than 1 three a game. Not enough to make a determination.

 

[SacTownKid]

Summer league can be this way. You can also tell one team has more than a few players that have had legit time in the big league and rotation minutes. It's the same thing every year, if you pressure this much you can get W's. This is basically how BoJax won it that year. The Kings haven't handled the pressure well at all and it's because they don't have a ton of shot creation.

 

[sactowndog]

17 turnovers in a half. Ouch

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Yes the stream is dead. We are glad the players are at least technically alive!

Are we 100% certain about this right now? Can someone provide visual confirmation?

 

[HndsmCelt]

Not sure how it might work out but I would love to see Boogie rewarded for his hustle with a G-League or 2-Way contract.

He's a good shooter

 

[dude12]

Christie going deep in the bench because some of the main guys were just trash

 

[HndsmCelt]

Kings play improving a bit, probably too late for this game, but we can hope for better games.

Yep, they looked good in Sacramento SL but this has been atrocious

 

[HndsmCelt]

For the record, the game seems to be more of a distraction than a point of conversation for the announcers.

 

[dude12]

31 turnovers….but still a little more time left

 

[Krunker]

Looked ugly from the stat line, how was Arms?

 

[Jdbraver137]

They should really sit Keon the rest of SL tbh.

 

[SacTownKid]

There were some bright moments on defense late. I really like how DC is sticking with pressure for the most part, the only thing is players like Jones are going way too far out on switches. If they aren't trapping he's a sitting duck and not making use of his size at that point. Like they started to do with Keegan later in the year, give a little space and the advantage goes to the player taking up more space. Getting back to a shooter and chasing down players to the rim is the advantage there.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I disagree

 

[SacTownKid]

I disagree

It would odd if he plays the entire thing. Maybe give him a chance to get one more good game in then call it a day. You don't want a potential starter getting hurt because some undrafted player is trying to impress some Euroleague scout.

 

[iowamcnabb]

I Jones has no box score. Did anyone see about what his statline was?

They've already accepted that risk. He's played 4 games

 

[Jdbraver137]

There is no point to him playing. He clearly wasn’t told the role of ball handling and PG. he is deferring. No need to keep him in a sg role

 

[Jc121]

Well 31 turnovers and their opponents shot 15 more free throws.
I like Boogie Ellis and hope he gets a shot for our Stockton team.
he was a little out of control but for the most part a lot of players were also.

What are you talking about. He's going to play SG with the Kings, so he's working at that position.

 

[Jdbraver137]

Umm hello they want his handles and passing to improve. Yes he is a sg and good at many things sg related but this is a position less system

 

[MelTurpin]

That was one hell of a messy game. Was cool to sit so close to the game at Cox Pavilion. Place was PACKED with Grizzlies fans mostly, lot of them came to see Edey so they were pretty dissapointed. Interesting to see so many people there rooting for Edey, Bronny and even Timme.

Jones is tall as hell. Ellis is head and shoulders above the rest. Whole squad was pretty meh, so you didnt miss out on much when the stream went down. Scoreboard in the Pavilion and the aThomas and Mack arena also had issues with boxscores around that time. SL bugs.

Christie is one hell of an active coach. Dude is just constantly standing and yelling/coaching, especially on D. Any chsnce he gets he pulls players to the side on dead ball moments, continued stream of instructions. Hes gonna be a good hc some day.
