MARVIN BAGLEY III

[Livinthedream]

I think you're forgetting post skills. You don't have to play like a wing to score 1 on 1 as a big man. Bagley failed nearly every time he tried to post his defender up. The whole point of playing him at the PF position is to create mismatches. Hopefully he can defend smaller 4s and then beat them down low on the offensive end. If he can't score against 3s like Derrick Jones Jr, then the whole plan is a waste of time.

I'm not saying that his skills are set in stone. I'm just saying that in the future he better be able to dominate a guy who is Jones Jr's size or else he is going to be a waste of a pick.

We're going to probably just agree to disagree here. But the point I've made in the past is that he was getting the ball 18 - 20 ft from the basket, which is not ideal for a post up and in no way makes it easier for him to score on a SF. It makes it harder. Now if that was poor entry passes from the guards, lack of strength to hold his position, or by design so he can faceup, I don't know. Maybe the coaches asked him to try to faceup and hit a couple of midrange jumpers to keep the defenders honest. But I do know it was outside of his normal game and it showed in his production. I also know he did a lot better when Fox was running the show. So there are a lot of assumptions that can be made. But it's way too early to even talk about him being a wasted pick after a couple of scrimmage games.

Giles has had the benefit of spending an entire season working on getting his body stronger and working on an all around NBA game. Bagley will have his time to see what he needs to develop starting now. Until then, he's not a wasted pick

Bagley playing in Rico. Some more footage to digest at least...

I wish they showed all the possessions in these videos not just the ones with the basket...

Ya it’s pointless when you just show makes

I can’t watch that vid without pointing out stuff too. He’s going to drive me crazy, like that old Fine Young Cannibals song, switching genders. It’s good I’m high on Giles/Skal/Buddy/Bogdan/Fox and can just roll with how Bagley develops

Yeah maybe, but he did look like one of the better players on the court. So that is a positive after summer league.

Yeah he didn't look good in that video at all to me.

 

[SacTownKid]

The video showed that with spacing and in pick and roll he's a player for sure.

 

[jcwkings]

The cynic in me says I just watched a athletic, one handed dump off man that doesn't play defense, aka not a #2 pick to say the least. Man this franchise.

the biggest thing I took from that video is that Ibaka was wearing a do-rag to play ball -_-

Wow, do you guys look for the negative? The kid is just 19 years old and he is holding his own just fine with pros... It didn't look like a lot of defense was being played anyway. I did see Bagley had a nice block in there and a steal on Zbo.

 

[King Baller]

Those Players in the video are all NBA guys. Bagley fit right in and had some nice plays. He is a 19 year old Rookie. How many of those did you see in the video?

 

[dude12]

Bagley just isn’t going to live up to the bar some have set for him. He’s got work to do and I’m damn glad to watch his development over the years. I think he’s going to be ok but has work and that’s ok.

he looks great in that footage idk what y'all are talking about..

 

[miltonap]

Same, he looks fine at least. Y'all trippin. Only thing I saw is he could have used his right on that lefty fade away and will need to develop this but we all knew that. Pick and roll game with harden looked fine, good second jump, had a nice block.

 

[kingsboi]

tell me, what did he do in that footage that would be considered "great" considering the lack of trying and defense from all the players

somebody should write a psychology paper about KF.com. There are so many people laying in wait to deliver the snark on our guys. In my life I have never delighted in crapping all over a franchise I'm supposedly a fan of. Even back in the day when it was the Chargers and Padres. I mean what is the point if you just hate everything about them.

would be in interesting paper.

If you don’t look good in a pick up game highlights you probably belong in China

Ouch. That didn’t look good at all to me. Missing close shots. No right hand, no perimeter, poor defensive awareness. Could be a long year.

 

[Agent23]

This kid doesn’t stand a chance in Sacramento. Even when Luka washes out of the league in a few years, Bagley will probably never get a fair shake with this fanbase.

Did you see about 2 weeks ago University of Kentucky (fielding a squad of mostly players who were in highschool months ago) demolished Pro Serbian squad Mega Bemax(10 NBA draft picks since 2014) by a score of 100 to 64?

It'll take like 2-3 games for Marvin to convince these flimsy fans... They won't have a choice in the matter, Marvin is the Kings now, Like I've said before --- If you don't like Marvin and wish for his downfall, you should just find a new team..

People have been waiting a great many years for Marvin to touch down in the NBA, same as Luka Doncic, if y'all wanna carry on about Luka being better it's only gonna make for hilarious bump material down the road.

 

[King Baller]

Did anyone catch the little smile on ZBo's face when MB3 jumped 3 times in a row like on a pogo stick for a put back? I think the Kid is going to be alright.

I’m not sure that’s fair at all. I would say Bagley has physical ability but it might take some time. No where will give him time like Sac.

You are becoming a troll in regards to Bagley/Doncic.

Come on. No one here wishes Marvin ill. I was pro Marvin over Luka but so far it appears we may have to wait to see him at his best.

Smh I know right don’t worry I’ll be a fanboy of Bagley come October until then it will pain that we passed on Doncic

Maybe we should start a new site called KFF.com.

Here at Kingsfans.com folks can talk about Kings basketball.

Over at Kingsfansfans.com you and any other armchair psychologists can gossip about the Kings fans that talk about Kings basketball.
