Kings vs Raptors game thread

[swisshh]

Tony Mitchell has earned himself a camp invite.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Tony Mitchell can play.

agree. quietly has been the most solid player on this summer league team

 

[Glenn]

Do they have WiFi at Thomas and Mack?

 

[CruzDude]

In first half, all but Fredette had about 15 min playing time in what is a 9-man rotation.

Bobby Brown pretty much scoring at will against Jimmer.

Whoops, Raps up 69-55. Scoring way to easy vs. this 5: Jimmer, Yound, Gates, Mitchell and Jones.

 

[Krunker]

As I recall there was wifi but you needed to authenticate...

Not much defense happening

He fills the stat sheet, and he scores without hogging a ton of shots. Good defender too.

 

[CruzDude]

Yes, but requires password which is only given to Media folks. There is 4G and LTE at the arena.

Thanks. Just curious.

 

[Bricklayer]

Concerned.

The extra ouch here is the apparent Houston offers that might have been as high as Lowry and Henson basically. TRob looks like he is going to have to invent a whole new game at this level. Its not what is falling or not, its just not a coherent pro game right now.

 

[Glenn]

Man, I don't know what to make of Jimmer. I'm not of the mind that he is worthless but what has happened to his shooting? He has to be able to shoot or he approaches worthless.

 

[Bricklayer]

There we go, finally. Although still a concern that he could only do that when he got a SG/SF switched onto him.

 

[Krunker]

finally a nice move down low by Robinson

 

[CruzDude]

Fast breaks killing Kings squad. 77-63 at end 3rd. About right.

Beginning 4th. Two really nice spin moves by TRob down low, one in other not quite.

 

[rainmaker]

Now that's a nice post move by TRob. Didn't fall, but I liked the intent.

 

[Glenn]

So that's what you were getting at. I didn't mind Henson as much as a lot of people. I know he will get backed down but he brings a lot of other stuff. I didn't expect TRob to look this way either. I have a feeling we will have endless arguments about him as he seems to be the Tyreke of this draft. Athletic but no position.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Two good moves in a row from Robinson, then double team and length bothers him. Finally seeing some NBA skills, though.

 

[steelevt]

it seems like all of jimmers shots are short. even one of his makes rolled off the front of the rim. maybe it wasnt a good idea to bring the new wife to vegas

 

[Glenn]

Trob's energy will be useful as he can pick up a lot of garbage. A rich man's Michael Smith. I also sense that he has the drive of Cousins and that's a good thing in case anyone gets confused. I just think he will need to learn a position and it may take a year or two.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

If Robinson can post up smaller guys, I hope we let him do that in the NBA. If you don't want to call it SF then don't, but if we have Cousins, JT, and Robinson on the court at the same time someone is going to have an advantage.

 

[CruzDude]

The summer league is faster and more intense than a regular NBA game since every player is auditioning for a job with his team or any team and the competition is fierce, max speed almost all the time. Jimmer is playing big minutes agains intense competition, a level difference than what he did in limited minutes last year.

What? No energy?? Up too late?? Or too long??

 

[Glenn]

With one day of attention by Smart, TRob looks more like a PF. At least to me. I'm an optimist.

 

[CruzDude]

End of 3rd Kings shooting up to 39% with 3 pt only at 4/18. TO's only 7 so far.

TRob has 1 point thru 3 quarters! and 7 reb and 5 assists.

Getting outrebounded big time 37 to 25. Raps shooting 49% and 5/9 from 3. Kings letting them get away with that to a man.

 

[Krunker]

Robinson just let Wright go right past him

 

[steelevt]

nice move by trob

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

At least Robinson has been TRYING to post up and gain inside position. We aren't really finding him, though.

 

[Glenn]

CD, jab bajaden in the ribs and ask if TRob had a post up game in college. I don't recall that being a big part of his game.

 

[Glenn]

Okognon should find a job. Too bad we aren't looking for a 5'11" PG. Or maybe we are. I don't know.

Who would rather have Akognon and Jackson and 9mil in cap room over Hayes and Brooks? How about Mitchell and 8 mil in cap room over Salmons?

So much money being wasted on this roster.

Well, other than the fact it is a moot point, I also can say both were expected to be starters and certainly better than what they were. Trade 'em 'cause MKF is right!!!
