Lol, Cattles got it right on the radio today. Keegan either cannot miss, or just gives you nothing. Great recovery from captain level headed.

 

[NewArena]

KEEGAN!!! Way to recover

Looks like he busted through that rookie wall. Nice night rook.

Gonna ignore the bad names on this list and say that Keegan has done something only Ant, Lauri, and Jason Kidd have done before.

Wait. Jason Kidd hit 8 three pointers in a game?

Keegan's shooting percentage still being this high despite him forgetting how to shoot for the three games before this one is something.

Murray was averaging 2.4 per game before tonight, so he's on pace to break that record.

Brandon Jennings did once score 55 points in his rookie season

I agree, can't believe he even took 8 as a rookie. Maybe later in his career when they started falling.

OT game

Murray was averaging 2.4 per game before tonight, so he's on pace to break that record.

And that's factoring in a whole month of him not being able to buy a bucket.

Any questions?

None. The kid is good. It's as simple as that.

I'll add that he's lucky to be surrounded by our current roster which is good enough of a group to not have to rely heavily on his contribution night in and night out. If he was a semi-permanent 1st option for us like how some of our rookies had been, his margin of error would've not been as big for him to actually make mistakes and learn without worrying about a fluctuated play time that'd make it harder to get in a groove.

You call it lucky...The rest of us call it fortunate...

Maybe I am reading this wrong, but feels like a weird take. The fact that the rest of the team is great enough to be in 3rd place in the conference, and this team is the best team we've seen in 17+ seasons (maybe closer to 20) and a rookie can contribute and maintain a starting spot - is not "he's lucky" at all. We're lucky.

highlights for those who missed the game.

Rookies basically always suck their rookie year in regards to actually contributing to winning basketball. The ROY is usually given to the rookie who gets control from day 1 on a bad team. Keegan playing like a superb role player on the 3rd best team in the West and 8th best team in the NBA says a lot about his play and about how he's wired honestly. Doesn't have the #4 pick mentality where he "deserves" shots. He's out there to help the team win.

Brown has said as much where he doesn't have near the same leash as other top rookies to make mistakes because the Kings are good and winning.

Keegan roughly 25% better than Jokic on offense, confirmed.
