As previously stated (or should have been) I'm not a professional.
But my amateur eye test says that Keegan has really improved his core stability to be able to hit a shot like that. Watch how stable his upper body remains throughout rise, release, contact, and landing (off balance).
Feels like we some have secret weapons on the coaching and training staff.

Didn't they also end up with James Nnaji this year after all those Boston trades? MJ leaving might be the best thing for them -- his draft record has been really poor. He did draft Malik Monk in 2017 though -- they just never committed to giving him playing time and he struggled with his shot in limited minutes. Their loss!
It'll be nice to silence the doubters (on this board) sooner rather than later... the ones who called Monte and Vivek all sorts of really mean names for not signing that "third star" when we clearly have one on the roster.
These comments by Coach Loucks match the few highlights I saw from the gym today. Was a man among boys.

It seems that some of us have forgotten how to mind our manners around here. I've been patient with it, but my patience has reached an end.
As a reminder, here are the forum rules: https://community.kingsfans.com/threads/faq-forum-rules.67349/
Pay particular attention to rules 1 and 2:
The number of personal attacks has become unacceptable. This is a general notice. Warnings will commence.

I'll have to go back and find where I read it, but I believe Mike Brown asked him to play - at least in a couple games.
In part he wants to use it as a chance to help instill the new culture with the young guys from day 1.
Murray is clearly using it as a chance to expand his game a bit, but I believe that was the main reason - his coach asked him to.

I reckon that Miller guy will be really good he had a bad game but the size/super quick handle/ release is going to be very good, first time watching him but the skills are there.
Barlow from the Spurs was probably the best player of day 1 (I think someone on this forum mentioned trying to get him?) never seen him before but flat out dominated both ends. Heat fans now apparently making JJ and Jovic untouchable after 1 summer league game is hilarious.
Is there a single French player who has not played for the Spurs? (Batum/Pietrus?) Parker/Diaw/Sidy/Wemby/Lauvergne/Nando De Colo have all played for them

I mean it's G-League defenders, but I think the best thing I saw from Keegan was he wasn't as stiff as he was in his rookie year. Showed a lot more fluidity and wiggle with the ball rather than being very "robotic" and just simply running the offense. Actually took his opportunities for some self-creation.
Keegan breaking out and becoming our third star precisely means that he fills the hole at 3. This means going out and signing a star SF would have be shooting (forward) yourself in the foot and hamstringing your roster building capacity going (shooting) forward.
Wing defense is being addressed by Edwards and through the draft... and anyways signing a backup defensive SF should not have been the reason to not sign HB or Lyles.
We agree interior defense remains an issue to be addressed. We have Len for now. It's about priorities.
