[Game] 42/82: Kings vs. Wizards 19 JAN 2025, 6pm PT/9pm ET

[ShastaKingsFan]

Keon Ellis is going to get paid when it comes time for his next contract. His career 3pt % is inching toward 43% and his defensive skillset is even better.

He's quickly becoming a hot item for sure. Almost everyone needs a versatile 3&D guard, who doesn't need to dominate the ball to be effective.

Sure hope we can keep him, because he's also a great team culture guy

Has anyone noticed that Fox specifically but the kings in general suck when holding for final shot? Their play almost always falls apart due to an error and they either are srambling to get a shot off or flat out turn it over.

That’s why you need derozan.

 

[The_Jamal]

UH OH SOMETHING ABOUT SPRINKLERS!!!!

 

[The_Jamal]

Someone save Jval man. He's out there on an island

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Great arc Keon. The hoop is wide open for you

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What makes you say that?

Fox has a 10:1 assist-to-turnover ratio, but he "seems uninterested."

It's like, if you're not getting buckets, you don't exist to some people.

[Sluggah]

JV audition going smashingly.

Monte needs to get that Jonas Valanciunas deal done tonight before he gets on the plane.

 

[Tetsujin]

De’Aaron Fox has more than half our assists tonight.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

George had two guys for a layup and passes to a guy standing in the corner for three

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I've seen enough to say that Keon is now a better and more reliable shooter than Huerter. Not just the stats, but the eye test as well

We cannot lose as we will decline his option this summer, which makes him a RFA, giving us full ability to match any contract.

 

[Tetsujin]

Jonas with 18/11 in 19 minutes.

EDIT ; 21/11 IN 20

 

[The_Jamal]

Frustrating. Can't put this team away

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Ya Monte don’t let Jonas leave the city

 

[Sherds]

Been really sloppy at times

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Have never seen another guy who has seemingly declined with his jumping ability, get better with jumping over defenders to make shots.

(DeRozan and his contested jump shots)

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

What makes you say that?

Just half-hearted attempts at driving, passivity throughout the game, slowly getting back on defense at times. Idk, it hasn’t hurt us since we’re playing the Wizards, but we see Fox go through a stretch like this every year and it looks like that time has come around this season.

Huerter might meed his headband back...

Huerter might meed his headband back...

It was like his security blanket. Put it back on

Yep, this season more than others for sure

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

 

[Tetsujin]

If anything you gotta trade for Jonas just to keep him off an opposing roster.

 

[Sherds]

Bring Sarr back in please

 

[Sluggah]

Another one

 

[captain bill]

Threeon!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

He sure makes you think about playing Len more than you otherwise would
