California Classic Day 1

Mitchell isn't really a natural PG, those Donovan Mitchell comps are pretty good. And kind of freaky, haha.

I'm already wondering how teams are going to match up with Fox/Hali/Mitchell 3-guard lineups on defense. That doesn't seem like a fun propisition.

Kind of looked like Woodard might have got a little contact on that shot but whatever.

Davion testing NBA refs

 

[Tetsujin]

Lol

 

[kingsboi]

Coleman with the Shaqtin' shot

 

[steelevt]

Someone should tell Coleman the rim is on this side of the backboard

 

[Tetsujin]

Oof

Lou King was pretty bad

 

[Tetsujin]

Davion probably gonna be out there taking jumpers after the game

 

[The_Jamal]

Lou King was pretty bad

Offensively, yeah. He and Woodard had pretty good success on defense though and were really active getting in passing lanes and contesting shots.

Both were rough as lead offensive options. Hopefully can get a good turn-around performance tomorrow.

 

[SacTownKid]

The only concern coming out of this game, other then Mitchell possibly leaving us to have to watch this team with this crop of other combos G's, is the Warriors did what teams will probably do against the Kings 3 guard units, get behind them and tree top them. If you are undersized you can't leave shooters in space or allow them to get behind your pressure. The Kings allowed that.

Kayte expecting a solidly run offense from a bunch of dudes looking out for themselves to make an NBA roster... probably not going to happen

It’s basically her first day at a new job. I know she called some before but it’s her gig now. Yeah she isn’t thinking about the fact that they have been together 3 maybe 4 days. But I like her and Draper. I will take Draper any day of the week over Jones.

 

[The_Jamal]

I'm not as worried about King and Woodard though. They just aren't going to be have near this usage if they get any run with the big league team. Bring that same defensive intensity and hit a few corner threes and they'll be valuable.

 

[SacTownKid]

Mitchells been tired for awhile.

Yeah, they really started to dig in on him with screens and that was a part of it. He'll have to adapt to that. It's totally different in the NBA with teams looking to shoot off those screens and force the switch unlike college.

Yeah, it seems counter-intuitive but the Kings could benefit from playing a bit more drop on some of those all out defensive possessions they had late in the game.

******in’ OT

I was annoyed about it going into OT too, was glad to see just 2 mins.

Had a feeling man.
