Note: 2 -1 equals team wins. Not individual wins.

The first game was a Kings blow out until they allowed the Suns to come back in the 2H when the Suns started pressing.

The other two games, Ayton mauled Bags. Look at the FG% in the last two games. Ayton was close to 2X more efficient. Blocks 100% to 400%x.
Bagley had more 3 pointers, more steals, more assists and his team won more often.

We can cherry pick stats all day. Hard to understand why Kings fans would bend over backwards to find ways to prove another teams player is better than their own. It's suspect.

Yes... we all know why! It's staring us right in the face.

It's because...

Marvin Bagley is worse than a bust! He's a Wiggins-class franchise destroying torpedo! He won't bumble and stumble around like a bust and he'll past the eye test to a certain extent, but he's our Wiggins. With a bust you can tell he sucks right away and cut your losses, but Bagley has enough counting stats, highlight plays, and potential to dedicate coaching, money, and playing time to a net negative player. And because of this, you know the fanbase/media is going to fling back and forth on the whole "Is he good? Is he bad? shtick". Gross.

As for why, well it's what I said on another thread.

"Same thing with Bagley; you can be athletic as hell, you can have expert body control, but no one posts-up or faces-up their big anymore, especially their 4. The moment you try you're already losing."
This is over the top.
