[Game] Preseason Kings @ Lakers 10/3/2022 7:30pm Pacific 10:30pm Eastern

[Tetsujin]

LOL Baze îs gonna get a contract extension at this rate.

AND A CHIMA DUNK

 

[KainLear]

This Moneke kid hustles every possession, I like him.

 

[The_Jamal]

Can't teach Keon's defensive instincts. Needs size, but he's an NBA player.

 

[Entity]

Keon has dawg in him if he ever comes out of his shell. This stage is big right now but he has the tools

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon is such a good defender.

Kinda want to see a Davion/Keon defensive backcourt over the next couple of games just to see the carnage it'd unleash.

 

[KainLear]

Keon Ellis' contract is guaranteed, right?

 

[Entity]

AND A CHIMA DUNK

Yeah baze is looking like the baze that was one of our top 5 players a few years back. Only now that gets you 12th

 

[Tetsujin]

Man, every single guy fighting for an end of the bench spot has looked good tonight lol.

I honestly don't know who the Kings should keep.

 

[Entity]

Keon Ellis' contract is guaranteed, right?

I think he and queta both have solid 2-way contracts for the year

 

[SLAB]

I want so many people to make the team, wtf. Not used to having to cut guys because we’re too deep.

 

[Sluggah]

Now I wanna see our 4th stringers against their starters. This bunch is feisty.

He has a two-way. I think it's technically guaranteed, but since it's relatively cheap it wouldn't be unprecedented to cut him for someone else. But I highly doubt that will happen unless he struggles badly for a long time.

 

[The_Jamal]

Dude Keon AGAIN on defense.

Just give me 37% from 3. That's all I need.

[SLAB]

Keon’s tiny. Wasn’t he drafted as a wing?

Killer wingspan though, if I recall?

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon lob to Queta. Nice

He could be a steal of this draft...

 

[SLAB]

CHIMA REJECTS.

Keep him.

 

[Entity]

If I was coach/gm and I had to cut somebody based off tonight it would be Merrill, cook, and Barnes

No, a guard. One of his issues was he didn't have great on-ball skills and is small for a 2-guard only. If he can show some point skills at all, that'll drastically help his chances.

 

[Tetsujin]

CHIMA WEAKSIDE BLOCK

 

[Capt. Factorial]

None of these guys wants to get cut

 

[The_Jamal]

DAMN CHIMA. I love his activity. Looks like a dude who's fighting for his spot

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon pick and roll and one.

 

[SacTownKid]

Totally sold on Chima.

Ok cool. Don’t know why Ive had it in my head since day one he was a SF for some reason. Even back in SL I was like “This dude’s too small for that.”

 

[Kingz19]

The Dellavedova Era is off to a great start

 

[The_Jamal]

Totally sold on Chima.

Looks to clearly be a 4, but potentially has that athleticism to switch out onto the perimeter(or at least from what I can gleam in 10 minutes of watching him).

Wing-sized Richaun Holmes is good enough for me.

 

[Tetsujin]

If Keon builds off this performance, you might be able to use him as a third string/emergency point guard and use one of those roster slots on one of the forwards rather than Delly or Cook.
