[Game] Kings vs Raptors Game Thread

[Tetsujin]

Skal is everywhere.

 

[Tetsujin]

Good shot blocker, but fundamentals were poor. Skal can be very very good if developed correctly. He lacks a lot of fundamentals that someone who played bball since 5 yrs old would have. I assume it was because he didn't get serious with bball until later on. I think it's up to the team to assign a coach to work with him and keep instructing and reinforcing everyday. He has so much potential.

To be fair, he did almost die in the Haiti Earthquake

Like how WCS is trying to drive...very quick, a little out of control, but at least he's getting to expand his game

I'd rather he try to figure it out now than during the actual season.

Am thinking this WCS centric offense isn't working the way we hoped. Not sure why we hoped of course.

 

[Dr. Spaceman]

WCS is clearly the best athlete on the floor. But his touch around the hoop is awful. He needs to slow way down and he'll be fine.

 

[Krunker]

Nice D by WCS

I know, my comments were of praise. He never had a chance to pick up a lot of the fundamentals that a kid who grew up in the US bball system would already have. But he is talented and by all accounts, very coachable. So he will be very good, possibly one of the best players of this draft (as he predicts himself) if we spend a lot of time and effort to develop him.

There are teams that won't put in that kind of effort for rookies and I surely hope this new coaching team sees the importance of player development and does a great job with Skal, Malachi, Papa etc.

Is it just me, or does no one on the Kings know how to box out? Come on guys.... we're playing 3 bigs on the floor at a time too...

 

[Tetsujin]

On the plus side, our defense this quarter has been great.

 

[Krunker]

Our guards have been relatively awful

He is probably just too hyped up for this game because he's been working on his game so hard that he is anxious to show it off. He will slow down and shine.

This Raptors team has 5 definitive active roster players. That is hard to compete against.

 

[miltonap]

We're getting outhustled

 

[Kingfanpaul]

Dang, lost track of time. Just tuned in now.

Glad to hear Skal is doing ok.

 

[Rockmeister]

Only 19 points in the middle of the 2nd quarter.

 

[chasen4r1]

Richardson's shot looked pretty clean right there.

 

[Krunker]

Nice stroke from Malachi, interesting how Ledo averaged 20+ in the D-league but was ineffective so far here

 

[dude12]

Damn...nothing like watching a SL game and having the refs blow the whistle every freaking time down the court. Let em play

 

[HndsmCelt]

I thought Woodbury would be a semi-skilled thug sorry to see he is not semi-skilled

 

[dude12]

Gudaitis so far....not doing much other than screening, looks a little slow.

 

[Krunker]

I thought Woodbury would be a semi-skilled thug sorry to see he is not semi-skilled

He had that jumper to end the 1st though

Hasn't even been much of a thug... He's just been.

He was a 4 star out of high school and had top teams like North Carolina offering him. Didn't improve at all at Iowa, he's a decent offensive rebounder but has no skill offensively.

 

[Tetsujin]

It wasn't so much a jumper so much as an errant shotput attempt

 

[206Fan]

Highlight of the game thus far.... Skal and Richardson's 3pt shots........

These guys on the Kings SL roster playing like they aren't fighting for a roster spot. Not seeing any hustle...especially compared to the Raps guys.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Hasn't even been much of a thug... He's just been.

To be fair he has pushed some little guys around

 

[Krunker]

Has Mitrovic gotten any playing time yet?

 

[Tetsujin]

Malachi starting to show flashes.

 

[chasen4r1]

Malachi's free throws need some fine tuning, but had a great move to get to the line
