[Game] Kings v. Heat - 7/22 - 5 PT

[Tetsujin]

The thing about Jabari is that much like with Marvin, the makings of a really really good player are there, they've just been overshadowed by injuries

Really if we're going to give #13 to anyone, it should deservedly go to the defensive-minded glue guy.

Forgot this was a thing. Turned over and saw a sweet Giles to Parker setup.

Unfortunately that's the only play that Harry's had tonight that would remotely resemble a highlight.

He's still young. Hopefully that kicks up the confidence a little. The Heat have picked on him defensively all night long. And any scout with the Kings direct competition worth their salt is paying attention.

 

[Tetsujin]

Dear lord, Buddy. This game doesn't help us in the standings.

 

[Tetsujin]

Jeffries just had a Bonzi-esque shooting guard goes inside like a big play.

 

[Tetsujin]

Also, Kyle Guy is in

Dude Kelly walked

 

[Tetsujin]

OMG Buddy

Jeffries Goat

Jeffries might indeed salvage that disastrous 2nd round draft Vlade put up this season.

 

[Tetsujin]

Man, I don't expect him to be this good for the actual games but DaQuan has been a pleasant surprise tonight

 

[dude12]

Liked Jabari on the full court drive although he missed. I feel like he can help. Got skills.

 

[Tetsujin]

Should be noted that Jeffries has a ridiculous 7 foot wingspan as a 6'4" guard

It's encouraging because my guess is that teams will need to ride deep into their bench for at least a game or two.

 

[Tetsujin]

Using Jabari as a point center. Interesting

 

[twslam07]

I've always loved Jeffries and was one of the guys I wanted us to draft in the 2nd round. Happy to see him showing well.

I have wondered if he can guard NBA SFs at a high level (vs. being delegated to a PF). Will be interesting to get a good look at him during these games.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Watching Goran Dragić in this game reminds me that there was actually once a time when the best basketball player ever to come out of Slovenia was Beno Udrih.

 

[SacTownKid]

Man, I don't expect him to be this good for the actual games but DaQuan has been a pleasant surprise tonight

Good sign for him is he's showed in his his spot shooting in the G-league. With players that basically played bruising PF's in college that are likely wings in the NBA that's always what keeps them out of the league.

 

[Tetsujin]

Man, the Heat scrubs are just horrible at screening

 

[Tetsujin]

Jabari looking... good?

 

[chief bromden]

JaBARI!

 

[Tetsujin]

We just ran a play for DaQuan in the high post.

 

[Tetsujin]

Considering we're missing 3/5 of our starting lineup including our stud point guard and how awful things looked in the first quarter, I am walking away from this scrimmage cautiously optimistic.

 

[dude12]

That was fun to watch

 

[Iced Espresso]

How strange with no fans, missing a lot of audio from a normal broadcast. This is certainly going to be different, but thank goodness for the games coming up.

 

[sactowndog]

Bol bol looked pretty good today

 

[twslam07]

Should be noted that Jeffries has a ridiculous 7 foot wingspan as a 6'4" guard

And a ridiculous 8’8” standing reach. Barnes has a 8’6” standing reach as a comparison.

And it’s been reported that he has a 42 inch vertical as well (not sure how reliable that is though).

Welp, looks like I have to watch on the NBATV replay, because apparently AT&T TV doesn't carry the alternate NBCSN-CA channel. Great.

If you have a Roku tv, you can add the NBCSports app. It will have you verify with your cable or satellite server. It sometimes has the game listed under replay a little after the game ends.
