[Pre-season]Kings @ Warriors - Friday, Oct.13

Love what I'm reading about PapaG.

I'm close to moving him above WCS in my personal young guy power rankings.
 
I like Mason a lot, but tonight is really showing his limitations as a playmaker. I'm really curious to as why he has troubles running the PnR
 
1st half impressions
David Stockton - Looking like his father out there
Skal - Tougher, smoother, better
Buddy - His Offense and shot has seem to gotten worse, not cutting enough
WCS - Wants to be an offensive player, has no offensive skills. Not paying attention on defensive end to details, just overall soft boxing out and laziness
Papa - Looks good, still a step slow on defense but makes up for it with size
Malachai - Looks Aggressive and shooting better
Frank - Sparkplug, having a bit of trouble running an NBA offense

Buddy has had an underwhelming SL and preseason... I thought he was ready for a next step

I'm hoping that this is a result of him trying to do too much/struggling with being a first option as coach tinkers before the regular season.

He may very well bounce back in a big way when he plays with the vets. Vince and Z-bo may be ancient, but they'll still take a lot of pressure off of the young guys who share the court with them.
 
I was kinda hoping we'd nab Bell this past draft...

Of course the Dubs bought him from the Bulls.
 
Thoughts: David Stockton is impressive as a PG

PnR with Skal is infinitely better than a PnR with WCS

Jordan Bell is twice the player WCS is already, offensively and defensively.
 
how we get out rebounded with Zaza being their only real big puzzles me..

It's not all about how much size a coach puts out there. It's about the will and effort of the players. The reaction time is way off for the Kings' bigs.

I kept telling everyone leading up to the draft that the Kings should have drafted that kid. I was pissed when the W's bought the pick that landed him. The kid can play. I think he has the potential to be a 1st team defender. Before the W's got him, I said he reminded me of a Draymond Green type player. Apparently the W's agreed with me. :D
 
Is it possible to waive Cooley's 2-way contract(taking the hit on his contract) and signing Stockton to a 2-way?
 
Ah yes, did I miss the yearly David Stockton game?
Yup... I don't see how we can keep him locked up but I am sure he has a job in Reno with assurances that if something opens up... Long story short he defiantly was the best player in a Kings uniform tonight.
 
Yes, Stockton was our best player tonight and I loved it. Frank and Stockton have been most impressive this preseason. Now can you imagine how impressive Fox will be? OH SHIET!
 
Stockton looked good and Frank Mason III continues his studly play. IMO it was a great all around game for the young Kings players.

One interesting observation I made is that apparently only the Kings do the illegal dribble thing. The Refs took the ball away from the Kings offense on the illegal dribble at least 6 times as the game wound down. Just struck me as kind of odd:confused:
 
Jackson plays 22mintues and ends with 0 rebounds.... he needs to be more aggressive and physical
Hard to get rebounds when your the only one contesting deep range shots , his closing out on shooters altered a ton of shots I thought and his D was really good. I like the way he plays on the defensive end he's the only player that actually contests shots.

Skal was solid and Mason/Stockton did a good job not much else to talk about....
