Pre-season Kings/Warriors game thread

You are using incorrect measurements. These measurements are for Justin Jackson out of Maryland. Our JJ is 6'7 w/o shoes.

You’re right. It looks like some sites have their heights mixed up.

However, the wingspan, standing reach, and weight I posted were correct and I would argue they are more important when it comes to this conversation of position. All three of those categories are similar to Bogdan. Not to mention that if Jackson is 2” taller than Bogdan but they weigh the same, this tells me that Bogdan probably has more muscle on his frame making him a “stronger 200lbs”.

but the original post to whom I was responding to stated that a 25 win season should be a result of someone being fired and then I ask how many wins would it take to change that notion? Any poster with a sense of basketball and how rebuilds work understand it's not about wins and losses, it's about player development and who do you move forward with and who do you discard at the right time before the value diminishes further.

I don't think it's necessarily all one or the other but certainly the only typical positive you can get from a rebuilding team is individual standout performance. However for instance if the Kings won 8 games next year, or were on pace for an extended stretch I'm sure that would qualify because total abject failure is also usually somehow tied to players tuning out their coach. We've seen it how many times over the years, if it happens, we'll know.

I don't think the coaches need to give the players a scouting report on Klay Thompson, It's not very complicated on who he is and what his strengths are. When the opposition is allowed to move while screening, the hands are practically tied at that point for a defender. Now, if you aren't even making an attempt and going under the screen, then the lack of awareness is on the player and not the coach in my opinion.

The Warriors are apparently going to be allowed to football two forearm screen players this year. Just ridiculous. The Warriors force you under screens a lot of the time because they hold players. So on top of the defensive rules they are allowed to break by standing in the paint constantly there's this. Just hand them the trophy on day 1 and watch those ratings drop like a rock .

Has it been a bad camp so far through 3 games? Skal/Justin not looking like players? Buddy not making that leap to quality starter as I predicted as of yet? Bagley still showing raw inconsistency and concerns? WCS looking like his time is up ?

Fox has looked like the franchise player, Yogi balling, Gabriel looking good to bring things up.

Hopefully these past few games we get some more production going

Remember, Joerger runs these guys out of the gym in camp and doesn't seem to have much success early on the floor. At least no since he's been here.

Bogdan is strong. You can tell when he sets screens and gets posted up.

I have been in the mountains away from TV and the internet. I just watched the game on the DVR and the Kings got ran out of the gym.

That said I agree with SacTownKid. The W's get away with moving screens, holding and bumping the man with the ball on every play. If the Kings tried any of this it is an automatic whistle.

The extreme example of this was Durant who had zero fouls.

The real point is not the fouls the Refs call. It is all the fouls that don't get called.

So apparently the W's played the same way against the Suns and the Refs actually called some offensive fouls. In the link Curry grabs and acts like a pulling guard in football to get Durant open. How do the W's get away with this most of the time???
