MARVIN BAGLEY III

[VF21]

Any questions?

 

[Sac.Kings]

A great start. The kid has heart and hustle for days on end.

[Agent23]

We never have to question his effort, that’s for sure. He’s a damn energizer bunny out there.

 

[Sac.Kings]

 

[BeerNerd916]

I have a question. Why did we draft him over Luka tho?

 

[Joer]

I just thought he was for a number 2 pick. I want to see him demand the ball more on offemse

Maybe in his SECOND ever NBA game.

Jaren Jackson sure didn’t need 2

 

[Tetsujin]

Jaren Jackson sure didn’t need 2

Jaren Jackson also didn't rebound the ball

 

[Joer]

Jaren Jackson also didn't rebound the ball

Bagley only had 6 and Giles 3

Whatever, dude. Like I said in the Giles thread, you aren't gonna kill my buzz. Right now, all you're doing is looking like a troll.

Jaren Jackson sure didn’t need 2

Jackson mostly just lobbed up shots that fell. I didn't really see much shot creation from him either. If he takes the league by storm being a 7 foot tall Steph Curry I'll be surprised.

Bagley answered questions about his shot blocking potential imo. And looks like he can be a power house beneath/around rim. I’m a fan

His shooting stroke is still a little disconcerting.

24 of his 29 points came from threes. If that's what you want out of your big man go ahead then and join that club. It's not what I want out of our big guys. One hasn't played in over a year and the other put up 18-6-3 in 25 minutes.

It's strange for sure, but he seems to have good depth perception. The question is what happens when teams start defending it for what it is.

 

[Cojc]

A 19 year olds first game just wait a couple of years. I watched it on nba tv and I am excited for our future.

 

[EIM86]

I been saying to my friends since the beginning his tape by far looked the most exciting.

 

[VF21]

Maybe but no more lame than yours

Wrong. You might want to check out our FAQ, especially Rule #1.

This, I saw Jackson and while the shooting was impressive, the rest of his game was just ordinary. Didn't look very fluid with the ball or trying to create offense. He was hot from the outside for sure but I don't know that form scares me.

 

[VF21]

I did a bit of housekeeping. Let's get back to the topic at hand.

 

[Npliam]

U mean never criticize a player? Cuz if u couldn’t see Wagner pushing Giles around u r blind. It’s gonna be worse in the league

Wagner spent a lot (like a shockingly large amount) of time on the floor. He looked good and he hit shots but he didn't out muscle either of the bigs. At least not regularly.

And he had the distinction of both being posterized by Bagley and rejected multiple times by Bagley.

 

[Kingster]

You can see that Bagley has the dna to be very good. We didn't even see him in screen and roll situations, but it doesn't take much imagination to see what he could do in those kind of situations. I was glad to see him get to the free throw line and convert. His shooting stroke looked smooth. He has a lot to learn on defense, but he'll get there because of his effort and his quick jumping ability. There is a lot to be hopeful about with Bagley, Giles and Fox.

I did enjoy when Harry put Moe on the floor and put back the free throw miss

 

[King Baller]

Bagley looked great! Blocks shots, rebounds posterizes Laker Bigs.....all good

 

[Heuge]

Bagley looked alright.
Pros- Good touch on shot, inside and out. Motor is as advertised. Nice poster dunk. Bounce works for blocks.
Cons- Defensive IQ was not there, especially on pick and rolls. Offensively, had spacing issues. Reliant on left hand.
Thankfully the negatives are mostly coachable.
I see a high floor but low ceiling player. Happy (not wowed) to have him on the team.

Watch out, Npliam. You're starting to sound a lot like a Kings fan. We ever get you inside G1C and you'll be hooked. Let me know if you're ever coming to Sacramento.

I don't know if you heard Grant and Doug talking about that, but Doug seems to feel Bags will be able to switch to his right hand as soon as teams take his left away. It sounded like Doug might have seen indications in practice or something.
