Final analysis; the team as constructed is terrible. There seems to be some intriguing young pieces. Get rid of the mediocre baggage and just legit tank with the youngsters.

The pieces to build a pretty decent bridge are all in the box. Luke however is still determined to make a land locked pirate ship with them however. AGAIN, we see some life when they go small with Barnes at PF and one big. What does he do most of the game? Two big, no big, 2 PG bull****. I'm at the under on 10 games or so before the blade comes out to play if he doesn't start walking the walk. Per usual he talked the talk about playing the right way, etc. but the follow through in this preseason game wasn't there. Per usual.

Ramsey looked like an NBA player, the rest crap or meh.

Walton didn't change anything lineup-wise. He was playing Jabari as a center. You know, the other player on the team with one of the lowest open 3pt percentages in the NBA (the other is Fox).

Haliburton is going to have a really hard time getting dimes when he is out there with combos of DQJ, Parker, CoJo, JJ, Yuck!

Why the hell is JJ still on the team?

Kings made a huge mistake on Giles, and he's going to remind them of that 4 x a year.

Stop. Harry had no role on this team. Maybe he'll be a decent contributor on a blazers team that will fighting for a playoff spot but Giles wasn't doing anything for the kings in their current situation. Dude is not a difference maker on a crappy team

You could see the makings of a good scheme on both ends of the floor in the first quarter but then Luke kept finding new ways to get in the way until there was absolutely no momentum and the old ways returned.

The lack of college ball because of corona, no summer league, short camp.....quite a few rookies are going to start slow this season.

Ty showed some defensive potential tonight getting into lanes, he moves the ball fast but I question how much of the floor he could read, was like hot potato sometimes.

Young player with upside might help team in playoff race, but has no spot on one of the worst teams in the league. That logic checks out.

It almost felt like he had too much respect for NBA defenders and was afraid to be too aggressive
