Plowden is my least favorite SL player. Only in there to jack shots

 

[Tetsujin]

CARDWELL HIGLIGHT DEFENSE

 

[The_Jamal]

IC looking smooth

Also Cardwell, holy crap

That block by Cardwell was pure violence.

 

[The_Jamal]

So DC in 3Q:

26 points on 9 shots
7 reb
3 assist
3 steals
4 turnovers

Is that good?

 

[Tetsujin]

Man that hook by Maxime is beautiful

 

[sactowndog]

Maxime’s feel for the game is already unreal from a rookie.

Offensively yes. Defensively not really. Don’t think I saw him box out once.

The good news is his defensive fundamentals are terrible. Feet too wide, often flat footed, reaches instead of sliding to block the drive, doesn’t find his man to box out. His 5 years of experience shows as those things are items you learn in Jr. High.

I think if you fix those things, and I’m sure Doug will, he might be a better perimeter defender than anticipated. That and getter stronger he could be a diamond in the rough 2nd rounder.

Looks like a player once considered a top 7 pick. Pretty easy to spot the talent differences. The Kings might have legit scored in every way coming out of two drafts in a row. Devin, IJ, Crawford, Maxime, Clifford, and Cardwell.

We've seen a few of those lefty hooks. Looks like a weapon

 

[Tetsujin]

Crawford having a NICE game

 

[TheMobb]

No challenge there? He didn’t look set

 

[Caccia]

Raynaud with a left-handed hook shot. You do not see that too often.

 

[Tetsujin]

Beautiful pas by Maxine to IJ. Special stuff.

 

[sactowndog]

No challenge there? He didn’t look set

Coach already wasted it on a bad challenge

 

[Tetsujin]

NIQUE PULL UP THREE

 

[The_Jamal]

Raynaud is so natural in the PnR. He's QUICK out of the pick and him being comfortable with the ball in his hands really gives him more options to finish

 

[Krunker]

Maxime looking great in the pnr

Kings have the chance to run Domas/Maxime PnRs this season lol

 

[Joshyjosh31]

That’s an absurd pass by Max

I'm counting on it; he looks willing and is a quick learner.

NIQUE THREE AGAIN

I think Max is going to have to fix his defense first. Hopefully his position coach spends the entire summer working on his defensive slide and footwork.

 

[Tetsujin]

NIQUE AGAIN

 

[sono]

Nique's midrange shot looks beautiful.

 

[Tetsujin]

Like Maxime showing the willingness to foul hard though.

 

[sactowndog]

Max way to wide with his feet and Yuki passes between them.

The good news is it is fixable.

 

[The_Jamal]

WHAT ARE THESE FOULS???

 

[Tetsujin]

ISAAC HIT A CORNER THREE
