I 'd like to bring it down to ground zero - Bagley is high energy in a bottle. Even on a bad game he's giving his all more so than several of his teammates. In preseason game 1 against the Suns, a few people were upset, but it was clear he was going to bring the energy - all the rest of it was gravy. He could be the Tony Allen of the Kings and it would've been enough, but he's clearly more. In the draft I was mildly annoyed, but a little curious, and certainly willing to wait and see. I love his obvious camaraderie with Giles. You can see it on both sides of the floor. They realize they are shot blockers out there. Joerger has realized it with extended minutes - its in their body language. This doesn't kmean Stein is expendable either. At this point, I wouldn't blame the Kings management at all for keeping the whole team intact through the trade deadline. They may not, but I wouldn't blame 'em. Team chemistry is hard to create and even harder to capture. I'm to the point now of a spoiled fan, the .500 mark may not be enough. I want playoffs THIS YEAR, and Bagley just might be their catalyst player to lead them as a rookie. 8th seed is within reach. It starts with a win against the Rockets
