The Kings seem disjointed to me right now; there’s little flow to their offense. Not enough passing, too much one on one. They should have beat this team by 20+. I think they need a good point guard to settle things down (and several good practices).

I admit I had no idea that Demar was that good. You don’t see many players now left who just say “give me the ball and get outa the way.” That was Kobe or Bird stuff there.

I’ve watched the NBA for a long long time. I want to give a shout out to Monk. Every once in a while a player goes nuclear and unguardable. He’s there. He’s got the whole thing going. Too quick, too unselfish, too good a shooter for any team to handle now.

Mitchell is 6’2”…. I think he is a new version of Chris Paul. I also wonder if this is a big trade that involves Fox

could be. Could be others like Ben Wallace, Doug Christie, Bruce Bowen and god help us Dennis Rodman who all came alive after 25. Not saying it will happen. But Parker was a true phenom at age 21.

I like this trade. Parker was a phenomenal high school and college freshman player. Yes he’s been injured and under-performed. Yes the NBA is littered with such players (though not that many so highly regarded). Also there are some who found their legs and superb ability at 25 years old and...

I will say this again. Guy was Mr. Ohio state basketball in H.S. He was the MVP in the NCAA finals game. I have watched his game. I am 71 years old and have watched more games than most. This “guy” has promise. Keep watching....

Guy was Mr. Indiana H.S. basketball and a McDonald All American. He’s going to surprise a lot of folks.

From what I have seen of Doncic he really reminds me of Larry Bird. At 19 years 3 months, what was Bird like? You can not teach that kind of Basketball IQ. It's a freaking gift. You see the court unfold before other players do. I am 70 and have watched a lot of NBA BB. Get him at any cost.

Fox will not turn 20 years old until December. His potential growth as a great player is off the charts. I read and agree with Bajaden. I just hope the Kings give him 3 good years and not screw him up. He looks extremely talented for his age.

Hey: let's all calm down a bit. Yes it's sketchy that Randolph went to a party in the Watts area. Lots of party folks around. Is it not possible that he put his backpack down and later someone, when the police came, stuffed 2 lbs of weed into it? Just saying: do not jump to too many...

I have noticed no one has mentioned that the chance of both these signings playing a moderate amount of minutes without significant injury concerns (at their age) is very questionable. They may be mentoring, but it might be from the bench a great deal of the time, both in practice and real games.

This is so difficult to watch. Does anyone else think the refs want to be star-stoppers? Let the damn kids play! They can't where every ticky-tak is whistled.

This will be an interesting competition between Fox and Mason. Mason won the Bob Cousey Award as the best Pt. Guard in College BB. This is a great pick.
