I think King talking smack to Bouknight

 

[Capt. Factorial]

King jawing with Bouknight

 

[The_Jamal]

AYYYYYYEEEEEEE KIIING.

GET UP YOUNG FELLA

 

[Tetsujin]

DAVION SHUTS THE DOOR

 

[kb02]

Mitchell’s speed is a diff level

 

[The_Jamal]

Also major props to Queta. Dude was SPRINTING down the floor to get back for that block. I love this dude, he's out there giving it his all.

 

[Tetsujin]

Is it concerning that Woodard has looked so bad? Yes.

But literally every other young King actually on the roster looks really good.

Yeah, he’s a keeper and a contributor at some point

 

[Double-K]

Davion finishes the game with 10 points, 50% FG, 1 OREB, 1 BLK, 8 AST and still ZERO TO!
(Looks like I spoke too soon as Davion recorded a STL and an extra AST!)

 

[Tetsujin]

OH NOOOOOO Bouknight gets killed by Davion again. lol

 

[dude12]

Might be the most fun and good Summer League team the Kings have had.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

OH NOOOOOO Bouknight gets killed by Davion again. lol

It's gonna be personal for looooooong time.

Much like with Tyrese, the box score doesn't even begin to show his impact on the game.

 

[The_Jamal]

Lmao, bullies Bouknight AGAIN.

He's going to need Sports Therapy after this.

 

[Tetsujin]

It's gonna be personal for looooooong time.

I'm guessing Mitchell was not a fan of the mock drafts that had Bouknight going ahead of him.

 

[The_Jamal]

Might be the most fun team the Kings have had.

Fixed.

 

[The_Jamal]

10 points
9 assists
1 rebound
1 steal
1 block
0 turnovers
50% FG

And what... 15? 16 impact defensive plays? Along with making the widely touted "best 3 level scorer" look absolutely lost out there on both ends.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Fixed.

I know some dudes that would disagree a bit with that.

 

[Double-K]

Metu with 4 steals!

 

[SacTownKid]

That young backcourt looked like a pretty good combo once they got some mojo going.

 

[kingsboi]

with the way Cookies plays so disruptively, I don't see how that energy and mindset doesn't translate over to at least some of his teammates. The points are nice and all but it's the assists and changing the pace of the game that makes him so fun to watch

2nd half Ramsey is exactly the growth you want to see. Super impactful defensive pressure and had some shots start to fall.

Lol at Tyrese leaping out of his chair at the bottom of the screen

They better play this style though. They switched over the help system for a bit in this one and it was just as bad as last year. The Kings have solid individual defenders up and down the roster so there is no excuse to not use them.

in the brief stints I've seen from Robert, it looks as if he is playing in quick sand. no lateral quickness which is to be expected from a guy with so much bulk

I’ve watched this guy play throughout college he doesn’t suck. We need to get a good mentor for him.

correct. it's as simple as players buying in. sacrificing some offense and clamping down on the other end to make things miserable for teams instead.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Off Night says Good Night to Bouknight and Hornets

 

[EIM86]

I think it’s pretty safe to say Mitchell was a legit lottery pick @9

 

[SacTownKid]

We still need to see that little pick and pop potential he's got. The biggest issue is whether or not he's going to get the Hibbert treatment from teams. Just waiting for him to sag off pick and roll time and time again. If he can get some offensive skills or moves going like a mid range jumper his chances go up dramatically as far as sticking in the NBA.
