Just one, can they finally start working that middle drive into the spin into the playbook?

As soon as he hit that move, I knew it was going in. He looked like Iowa Keegan when he did that!

And I think if the Kings let him do it teams are going to start hacking away and he'll get easy FT's. He's got too much length when he's that far in.

From Kings PR: Keegan Murray is the second-fastest player to reach 100 career 3PM, tied with Luka Doncic.

"When you see the first couple shots go in, especially really early, that helps a lot. A lot of my shots were open... got a lot of easy looks and just took advantage of it."

Keegan Murray is the first Sacramento Kings rookie to score 29+ points and grab 14+ rebounds in a game since Lionel Simmons (33 PTS, 14 REB) did so back on February 12, 1991.

Is this good? (Also surprised Boogie didn't do this)

"Just not relying on Domas to get all the rebounds. Getting in there and trying to get at the high point, be assertive... it's just a different mindset that kinda flipped for me just not relying on other people. I feel like Mike getting on me kinda lit a fire..."

And that's probably as good for the Kings as any potential trade at the deadline.

A coach who coaches and a player that is both coacheable and doesn’t have a fragile ego and family. Gotta love it.

Simmons had a few pretty productive seasons.

confidence can take your game from good to great if it all clicks, let's see if this is a start of something for the rest of the season.
