GAME THREAD: California Classic Day 3: Sacramento Kings v. Miami Heat, July 5th, 2PM PST

[206Fan]

So Bagley is guarding a SF in Derrick Jones quite well...Jones has averaged 22points in the first 2 games.

I'm more worried about Bagley having 0pts against Jones... Its partly due to the PGs not being able to find him, however, he's getting outmuscled by a 6'7 200lb SF. That's worrisome for me.

song name?

 

[Ozymandias]

Justin Jackson looks good, his first step particularly.

 

[Tetsujin]

Man our summer league guards have no control

Sucky McSuckerson showing bad awareness off of the pick and roll

 

[Kingsfan23]

Harry may be better at PF, and Marvin isn’t looking like a competent basketball player any time soon

Another reason I want Capela/Nurkic

 

[dude12]

No way should guarding Jones be used as a positive

You mean you don’t want to give him credit

While I agree to a point, his teammates have done absolutely nothing to get him the ball

The player who defended Bagley in college best was a 6'7" SF 220lbs named DeAndre Hunter. /shrug

No, there is no room to operate....the paint is packed. He definitely has much to learn.

 

[Kingster]

Bagley is great. It's our guards that are crap. Call me skeptical about Mason and Bagley playing together in the regular season. If you have a guy like Bagley whose main strength is his mobility you obviously don't want him in stationary situations getting the ball, but since Fox left the court that's what you're left with.

If he was a baller it wouldn’t be at issue. He’d be impacting regardless

doug's been getting better at commentating. not to be taken the wrong way, but im missing jerry less and less

Yeah, Jones, Bam, and the lack of Fox combined to get me to vote that it'd be a meh game. Good on Bagley for playing some D, whatever else happens.

 

[lawlman91]

Bagley's been doing his job. Only knock is that it does not look like he is experienced in the mid-post

Yeah....I like Frank Mason and his toughness but I’ve been a bit underwhelmed by his play.

 

[lawlman91]

is that guy's eyes ok

 

[jcwkings]

Harry has been so much more impressive than Marvin. You can see the difference in IQ. Harry is always trying to make the right play like a Bogi while Bagley gets tunnel vision whenever he touches the ball. Reminds me of Rudy Gay without the polished scoring skills.

 

[dude12]

I think the biggest take away with the 2 young bigs is that they could become or contribute to being a good defensive combo.

 

[Joshoua]

Is there any evidence of Jones being able to take more than 2 dribbles

He hasn’t averaged 22 points on his jump shot or lobs

 

[lawlman91]

justin jackson is just good. will he be a star i dont know but he will be a good player like garrett temple. thats a good thing

 

[TaxMan]

No shot attempts at this point in the game is just....odd for the number 2 pick. I understand all the points raised with respect to the guard play, but it is still strange none the less.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

How could that even be taken the wrong way?

 

[lawlman91]

bagley needs to practice his decision-making in midpost iso situations. a face-up jumper would be great

 

[Ozymandias]

that particular sequence where Bagley just missed the hook shot and then lost duncan robinson on defense was bad but CLEARLY he's just too hyped up/got the jitters.

 

[Ozymandias]

Justin Jackson's handle looks extra crisp today

 

[lawlman91]

jackson picks up his dribble too early on the drive

 

[206Fan]

I'm getting sad watching Bagley....

 

[k_dubb90]

Good thing we got zbo who can teach Bagley a thing or two

 

[Ozymandias]

I'm getting sad watching Bagley....

He'll be just fine.
