I'm impressed with Bagley's effort on defense.

 

[The_Jamal]

Bagley is a center.

Think so. Let Harry work all the outside stuff, keep Bagley in the paint.

 

[PHXSUNSFAN]

Bagley got absolutely man handled by Ayton.

He got him back.

 

[sactowndog]

Bagley has a lot to learn but he is a hyper competitive ***

I'm watching him on defense and he's a tracker. I think that shot challenging he showed in high school is who he his naturally and you want that closer to the rim defensively. Offensively I think he'll become a good shooter.

 

[funkykingston]

Bagley has looked terrible.

No way around that.

And with JJ doing pretty much nothing it's hard not to view passing on Doncic as a mistake in the very early going.

But it's preseason so I'll just hope MB gets a whole lot better. And fast.

 

[SacTownKid]

Oh don't tell me this abomination will go to OT.

 

[kingdivac]

FT drills everyday,, all day.

 

[Ozymandias]

That was a nice out of bounds play to get Yogi the ball.

If he doesn't improve fast someone is getting fired.

You do know Doncic is playing 4 for Dallas?

Just take Bagley out of the entire equation.

The Kings desperately needed a SF. The Kings desperately needed 3pt shooting. The Kings desperately needed more playmaking. Yet we passed on a player with all 3 of these attributes. Why? I don't understand.

 

[SacTownKid]

Whew. Maybe no OT.

 

[Ozymandias]

Gabriel steals the board to seal it. A fitting end. Kings win!!

 

[Joshoua]

That 3 Harry hit off a hand off like a guard plus that pass he made to Bagley gave me an erection. That kid will be special

 

[The Effort Police]

Bagley has been our worst big tonight.

It's just preseason.... I say as Bagley puts up another stinker, and we're still waiting for Doncic to fail at any professional level.

 

[Joshoua]

He can play 2-4 basically a perfect wing

 

[The_Jamal]

Pretty clear the Donic stans aren't going anywhere. Going to get annoying really quick as the hyper-analyze every move a 19 year old rookie big makes.

 

[SacTownKid]

Only on the Kings is a number 2 pick used like this and on the flipside Yogi Ferrell is your alpha go to. Bagley might have totally blown in the same spot and Yogi has played well but Joerger will always find a way to lift the role guy no matter at what expense.

 

[PHXSUNSFAN]

Ayton is going to be very good.

Not as good as Doncic imo.

 

[Kingsfan23]

No. The people concerned about Bagley will go nowhere. His stans are going to get old supporting someone showing no signs of being solid for the teams most important decision maybe in 5-10 years

 

[burekijogurt]

undefeated so far.

 

[SLAB]

I’ve only seen Bagley twice... and I don’t like what I see at all. Maybe I’ll be wrong.

Not defensively. He was going after shots and moving well on help. The Kings consistently got caught between switching and going over screens. Either do one or the other otherwise your signals get crossed like we saw in this one.

 

[swisshh]

Vlade is fired. My only question is whether he makes it to the end of the year.

 

[kingsboi]

it's hard for Bagley to get much rhythm going when he isn't much of an aggressive offensive player so in the mean time he needs to continue to play good defense and not be a liability when out there

 

[206Fan]

If he doesn't improve fast someone is getting fired.

Joerger will be on the hot seat if he doesn't run more PnR....... it's awful trying to watch our bigs create their own shots.

Vlade is fired. My only question is whether he makes it to the end of the year.

Vlade isn't going to get fired. However, I won't be surprised if he resigns at the end of the season.

His moves keep ****ing us over.

 

[burekijogurt]

our starting lineup to begin the season will be WCS, Bjelica, Shumpert, Buddy, Fox.

 

[gunks]

I agree!

But I was also a Doncic fan who thought Bagley had bust written all over him pre draft.

So um.... I'll try to control myself in the coming months.

I'm grumpy, but I'm still rooting for our guy. I also know he's a project. But it might be a loooong season for Bagley.

 

[dude12]

Kings win. Showed good potential. I said before that Yogi has 6th man of year potential.
