I've been a huge Frank Mason fan since day 1. Love that guy.

So Frank passes up the open 3 for the contested version two steps back and still hits it. 
Way to may it interesting Frank!

18-6 and 3 Surprise Blocks for Bagley in 25.
Nice opening game.
Nice opening game.
I would have to think your whole fan base would be buzzing with excitement.
We sold out the arena for a summer league game. I suspect a lot of sellouts are going to happen this year. It feels good to be excited about my team again.

He was and it wasn’t even close. I’m expecting a big jump from his this season.

A lot of good things. Fox looking franchise PG. Giles looking solid starter. Bagley’s offense (defense picked up a bit toward the end) and clutch.
Jackson, I’m embarrassed to have been tossing around any notion of him starting. Either Vlade has Buddy/Bogdan in mind, which I want and believe, or has another idea.

Then you dont know Kings fans
Great game. Future is looking good. Vlade, enjoy the team you built. Ok times up, go out and find us a starting sf.
I strongly suspect he's already got that figured out.

Fox was the best player on the floor despite the 3pt shooting still rearing its ugly head.
Was impressed by the two bigs. Giles you can see the tantalizing skillset and the fact that he's missed two to three years of basketball development.
Jackson's disappearing act continues. When you're the 23 year old second year pro with three years of college experience looking like the worst player on the floor, that's a problem. It wouldn't break my heart to see him out of the rotation next year. Then again, that would mean more Shumpert... so never mind. Just start Bogdan there or something.

I dont think it's a matter of toughness...just a matter of fit. I can see Justin having a very lucrative career in Europe eventually, but I dont know that his strengths are really as good a fit with NBA basketball.
Loved what I saw from Bagley with his hustle and effort. However I think he got lit up pretty bad on defense. He has troubles guarding the 3pt line, gave Wagner way too many open looks. Kings have had a history of letting stretch 4s light it up... hopefully this was just a 1 time SL thing for Bagley. I think Bagley looked a lot better than Giles this game. Giles had a few nice moments, but I'm really not seeing where the CWebb comparisons are coming from lol.
Justin Jackson....no words for him. I don't know how accurate the box score is but it says: 32mins 5pts 1reb 1ast
we need to find a SF asap.

I'm annoyed the Lakers keep picking up these good players late in the draft. Then again, with the signing of Lebron it put them on the clock to compete now instead of later with the Warriors doing their thing so lol I guess it doesn't even matter.

If Shumpert is healthy he is going to at least give you D. G-Leaguer Jackson gives you nothing. He made 5 points on 6 shots 1 rebound 1 assist in 39 friggin minutes !!! Are you kidding me !!! You know how some players have a nose for the ball. He's allergic to the ball. He's always away from the action due to his timidity and fragility. I wouldn't be surprised if G-Leaguer was a vegan. He has no muscle and no aggressiveness. A lack of meat in the diet would explain a lot to me. We may as well waive him now.

Don't be nitpicking on either Bagley or Giles. They looked great for their first NBA games.
