Kai Jones reminds me of WCS for some reason

 

[kb02]

King’s handle is looooose

 

[Tetsujin]

Metu loves to shoot lol

 

[The_Jamal]

This is kind of fun to see what Monte is looking for in his players. All these dudes are "his" guys on the floor. Lots of size/wingspan and you better D up.

 

[dude12]

King reminds me body type wise and movement wise of L Train

 

[kb02]

Kai Jones reminds me of WCS for some reason

Yep. Better motor though.

 

[SLAB]

There it is! Should have dished to him last drive, does it this time!

 

[Tetsujin]

Queta slammo!

First one kinda looked like a lob to me, but one that missed so bad it hit the back of the rim.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yep. Better motor though.

Not sure the motor helps him that much if he lacks the basic instincts to utilize them though. Also he looks tiny next to Metu and Queta.

 

[dude12]

So Woodard was replaced in the lineup by Metu…..which is the right call

 

[The_Jamal]

Metu being an offensive threat helps this unit so much. Team looks so much more cohesive on offense and another strong defensive showing

 

[steelevt]

must be nice having such a big lob target

 

[The_Jamal]

Also Bouknight a total ghost first 5 minutes with Mitchell on him from the tip.

 

[Dime Dropper]

Nice lob by Mitchell. There was a play a couple minutes earlier where he tried a floater when the lob was right there for Queta. Good to see him do a better job recognizing at the next opportunity.

I realize it's just summer league but

 

[SLAB]

Lordy Off-Night’s D.

 

[steelevt]

love that def on bouknight by "off night"

 

[dude12]

Oh my…Mitchell just locking down Booknight

 

[kb02]

Bouknight running the pg spot against Mitchell is a no-no

 

[Tetsujin]

HOLY CRAP DAVION. Bouknight looking like Jimmer against him thus far.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Welcome to your off night, JB!

 

[SCKingsfan]

Mitchell will fit right into our guard rotation.

 

[Gtronic]

holy defense!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Ok you can’t not like that

 

[Tetsujin]

Now we just need the actual Kings roster to play defense like this.

 

[Dime Dropper]

LMAO Mitchell is too good defensively. Dude just knows where to put his body.

 

[The_Jamal]

There we go King, that's what we need.

 

[SacTownKid]

Now we just need the actual Kings roster to play defense like this.

I think they are going to finally commit to pressure. Bye Rex!

 

[Tetsujin]

Metu currently looking like prime LMA against the Hornets. He might actually be beyond summer league at this point.
