[Game] Kings vs Hornets (Vegas Summer League) Monday, August 9, 3 PM PT (6 PM ET), NBATV

I figure there will probably be enough traffic for this game that we should break off a separate thread, rather than stuff it all in to the generic Vegas Summer League thread.

Note that tomorrow's game may be in jeopardy due to the Wizards being decimated by COVID protocols, so enjoy this one!

Looking forward to Boook-night vs Off-night.

Bonus: Kai Jones vs. Neema.
Bonus 2. Gelo ball delaying another year before he switches to football (should be a tight end).

Should be a good look at Mitchell's defense. Hornets have quite a few NBA-caliber guards and of course will be interested to see if he matches up with Bouknight. I'd love to see him just come out and take him immediately from the tip.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Naturally when the NBATV announcers say they're looking forward to the Kings-Hornets game being competitive, they mention three Hornets players and zero Kings players, despite the fact that Mitchell is the highest (at least 2021) draft pick in the game.

Looks like this is on ESPN3 as well as NBATV?

 

[iowamcnabb]

I wonder if we find another team to play tomorrow if the Wiz can’t go? I can’t afford to lose any games!

I think all the games are streaming on ESPN in some fashion or another.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

With Philly-Dallas ending at 3:00, it looks like our game will start at 3:20.

 

[Tetsujin]

Forgot how delayed the start to summer league games could get.

I guess I didn't need to rush through my grocery shopping after all.

 

[SLAB]

No idea who this kid being interviewed is but he just compared himself defensively to Draymond and Ben Simmons while also propping up his unique offensive skills.

Shoot for the stars, kid!

 

[SLAB]

Bouknight then says he’s Devin Booker / Bradley Beal. They don’t lack for confidence!

 

[The_Jamal]

Mitchell
Ramsey
King
Metu
Neemias

good starting 5, Metu should really help Mitchell.

Make that 3:15!!

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings going biggish with Queta/Metu/King/Swaggy Ram/Mitchell to start.

 

[SLAB]

How did I not even realize Queta was starting?! love it.

 

[dude12]

Metu and Neems

 

[SLAB]

Looked like a goaltend to me too, Swag.

 

[The_Jamal]

Mitchell immediately on Bouknight on D

 

[SLAB]

Broke dude’s ankles. Okay.

 

[Tetsujin]

Mitchell's hesi moves are legit.

 

[Tetsujin]

Mitchell just stole Bouknight's lunch money

 

[dude12]

Mitchell defensively is not like typical rookies

 

[The_Jamal]

oo pretty Mitchell move. The finishing continues.

 

[SLAB]

I love Metu’s obnoxious game. Crossover stepback three from a big? Hell yes. Every time he touches it please.

 

[Tetsujin]

LMAO Metu just took a stepback three for some reason and got fouled for it.

 

[dude12]

Metu our best 3 point shooter?

 

[kb02]

Mitchell and Ramsey back court = short, but physical defensively.

 

[Tetsujin]

If Metu's stroke is as legit as it's increasingly looking, he might actually be able to play modern big wing minutes.

 

[Dime Dropper]

Mitchell with a lovely move and then the defensive impact next time down the floor. Love to see it.

 

[The_Jamal]

Great defensive sequence from Neemias there and secured with a tough board.
