[Game] Kings vs. Thunder, 11/10/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

I’m ready for him to take Mitchell spot in rotation. He just doesn’t have any Iq on the offensive side. Zero play making

Maybe, but IIRC they did play Davion, Monk, and Keon together last year at times and it wasn't horrible. This is starting to definitely become a rotation crunch issue. Sasha and McGee have already been squeezed and Lyles isn't having to be factored in yet either.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Hate to say it time to move on from Davion, great guy just not a great fit

I could see Davion being packaged in a trade before the deadline.

 

[Larry89]

Really like what I see from Keon.. communicates on defense and offense. Good size and his hands are really quick... great defender and can switch. He doesn't stop the Rythm of the offense by dribbling the air out of the ball.

I agree, just not a good fit, hes awkward man. He a sf trapped in a pg body. A suspect spot shooter with no play making skills. His defense is good but he’s not tall enough to guard anyone worth a dang and not quick enough to guard anyone fast. It’s odd

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I'm talking about all the people in this thread accusing Mike Brown of micromanaging Keegan Murray. What are you talking about?

Well... he is micromanaging him. The "accusation" is that it's not working.

I think the Davion dislike is over the top.

I don't see some of the things you guys see.

Dude’s got some of the best defensive hands I’ve ever seen this side of Kawhi. Just swallows up the ball anytime a guy is loose with his handle/soft with his gather.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

But he still looks hesitant, like he's worried he'll get yanked. But other than that, it's hard to know how Keegan is responding - he barely shows anything.

He leads the team in three-point attempts on the season. He has five in the half. Doesn't look that hesitant to me.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What kind of "playing the results" nonsense is that?

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Or... Maybe he's just coaching the kid the way the kid needs to be coached. I can't read Keegan Murray's mind, and I'm pretty sure that you can't, either. Murray is still playing aggressively on offense, and he's still busting his ass on defense. It seems to me that, were he not receptive to how Brown is coaching him, neither of those things would be true.

Agree to disagree. He’s one of our best shooters and he’s hesitating every shot. Then looking towards bench on every move. Last year he was the perfect coach for Keegan, brown just seems to vested like a father almost. Tough love from a good spot, but Keegan is a grown man, and a good player, let um fly

He hasn't played particularly well so far this year, and as we all know, KF.com can't do without scapegoating somebody.

He hasn't been very effective. No real way around that

Just for tonight, it would have helped if Davion had not missed all four three-pointers. All of them were open.

As the kids say, Fax

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Where is Sasha? I don’t think he played bad at all. What happened. Almost forgot about him

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Ellis is looking like what Davion is suppost to be

 

[iowamcnabb]

He leads the team in three-point attempts on the season. He has five in the half. Doesn't look that hesitant to me.

indecisive would be a pretty accurate word in my opinion. When he gets in the midrange he doesn’t do, he thinks. Having said that, I don’t know that it is fear of Brown so much as is natural inclination to defer when he doesn’t have it going. Getting to the line and pressuring the rim is exactly what can do on those nights

 

[DynaPamm]

Is it me or is brown too much on Murray man. I for one am happy about him not jacking up only 3s and pump faking into a drive or some middies

I totally agree Coach is so into his head and I feel like Murrays got him in his head instead of the game

 

[Kingz19]

Sloppy

and HB playing terribly

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Idea. Bench Barnes and out Sasha in

 

[Rob-The-Great]

This man really passed up a interior shot over a at in the paint come in Sobonis

In the first quarter of the Portland game, Ellis was helping out on defense, creating sort of a freelance double-team. It was very effective.

 

[Bfreeman]

Sloppy

and HB playing terribly

That first game was such a tease by Barnes, ALMOST had me fooled.

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon pull-up threeeee?

 

[Kingz19]

There it is, Keon

 

[captain bill]

Beautiful passing from Domas tonight

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Our missed three streak ends at 18

 

[Kingz19]

card carrying Brock Purdy hater Kyle Draper using him as a positive reference to Domas picking apart the defense

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Does anybody know how much point guard Keon Ellis played in the G-League? I'm assuming not much, with Jordan Ford playing a lot last season there?

 

[SLAB]

Didn’t expect to check in to see this score. Good stuff.
