KINGS! Summer League-Vegas Gm 5 - 7/13/17 (round 2 vs Mavericks)

[chasen4r1]

Is anyone else worried about Fox and how frail he is? Can you imagine him going full speed on D, and getting decked by a Gortat screen? That dude needs to put on some muscle asap!

I'm not worried. Ankle injuries can happen to anybody, even someone with tree trunk legs. I think he needs muscle for competitive reasons, but I'm not worried about lack of muscle contributing to injury.

 

[The Hammer]

There really is very little team ball in these games. I'm not losing sleep if we don't win the tourney.

 

[SLAB]

I'm abou done with this silliness.

DSJ is indeed a stud.

 

[Tetsujin]

What the heck happened to Cooley? He looks like some guy from Burger King they grabbed and handed a uniform to.

The guy from Burger King is probably more athletic

 

[206Fan]

oh look DSJ dominating. still never understood why Kings fans didn't even want to consider him

 

[The Hammer]

Smith causing social media to say we should've picked him as Fox goes his 3rd straight game without seriously making an impression, hope he's hurt to explain performance

Well if it's on social media...

Honestly though are you ok lately?

 

[VF21]

What happened?

Beautiful offense, good ball movement..

And all ugly team now.

Papa G is on the bench.

Most people on here wanted to pick him if Fox was off the board.

To be fair, there's a good chance I could score on Naz Long

Yup.. I love DSJ and would have loved him on the team. I just liked Fox more. Actually I was hoping DSJ would fall to 10 and we'd just pick both PGs

No, this team kills me half the time but I take it too serious indeed

 

[Tetsujin]

Some of you guys worry too much

 

[Joshoua]

This coach is annoying play Fox damn

 

[White_Chocolate]

It is summer league Fox has looked fine. Yeah he needs to bulk up. Maybe we give Vlade and the FO some credit signing Hill so we can let Fox develop naturally.

If Fox isn't immediately an MVP candidate, Vlade needs to be fired.

 

[VF21]

Blast! I don't give a crap about these stupid split-screen interviews. STOP IT, BSPN!!!

 

[Iced Espresso]

The guy from Burger King is probably more athletic

And still the guy you take if walking through a dark alley.

 

[The Hammer]

Haha!

Ok just checking

My favorite mock had us getting Tatum at 5 and DSJ at 10. If only.

I like Fox though and JJ is looking solid. So I aint mad! Crazy deep draft. Might go down as one of the better ones in the last decade (I know, I know, too soon to really tell).

Well..I hope Baja gets a very good look at him in SL. He was the biggest Fox>>>>DSJ guy. I still think DSJ was a top 3 talent, and I can't help but be salty we passed up on that talent level. I think he'll be a star PG in the league.

 

[Joshoua]

I don't think I've ever seen Papa get the ball and go up strong. He's either dribbling or pump faking

 

[SLAB]

This game has made it pretty clear... Fox is scared and ducking DSJ.

 

[VF21]

All of a sudden, things look better with Papa G on the court (even though he missed that half-hook).

 

[Iced Espresso]

I haven't had suspense with a guy in the post more so than Papa in awhile. Always an adventure, never know what's going to happen.

Could we have this discussion outside the game thread? Just asking.

I feel your pain. I look at social media like a flea with bubonic plague. Avoid!

The hope is always to know you made the best choice for your team when looking back on it years later.

 

[lwc]

Don't be too freaked out by the terrible summer league performances. Just as an example, today we have no Mason, Giles, Richardson, Bogdanovich, nor Hield. The team will be fine in the future when it counts.

 

[Tetsujin]

Papa may wind up being better than Skal sheerly because Skal may be the most passive individual I've seen play basketball

 

[New Era]

Honestly, it's seriously mind boggling how many times the ball clanks off Papa's hands, whether it's a pass, going for a rebound, etc. It would be interesting if somebody put a montage together on YouTube about how many times it happens each game.

 

[Kingsfan23]

I'm only hard on Fox because I love him. I still am not unhappy with him over Smith, and I think he belongs here given the pre draft process

He is injured, but man I wanted him to show out
