maybe Fox is just not good.

See, why can't they just run what the Jazz are? The Jazz are keeping the entire painted area clear. Imagine that with someone like Fox at the helm and Buddy waiting to catch and shoot. This is a travesty.
I want my number 2 pick to be able to get his own buckets is that much to ask for. You get drafted that high to be a playmaker. I like him at Center though he’s be good around shooters.

Specfically with that 3 from Fox. They have Giles come up at the 3 point line to set a screen and he rolls down the only path that Fox would theoretically have to the rim. I can't be the only one seeing this ****.
Ya he’s scaring me

Because he is a two guard that can’t shoot and a point that doesn’t know or care how to get his teammates the ball where they need it.
Fox may very well be a bust.

If Fox were to pass it at the right time and right spot. I don’t think it’s just because Jeoger is playing Fox off the ball more and more.

Kings defense is sooooo bad. Why is Exum allowed to waltz into the lane for a dunk time and time again? It no fun to watch a straight up layup line practice drill.

Seems to me Kings haven’t committed a foul the entire game. Where’s this pride I keep hearing about?
When did the Pelicans trade for Gobert?

Joerger isnt doing crap tbh, we don’t hv the tank excuse this year and it looks like our offense and denfense is the worst in the league by a mile

This unit can really put this Kings offense into a nice tight little nutshell. Anyone with a brain would look at them as say, gee, lets see what Skal can do. But it's more system, system, system where Skal is a decoy to get a shot for Cam Reynolds? The Kings need a coach that understands their personnel and who to gear the offense toward. Unselfish ball is one thing, passing is another, and while open shots are good, teams win based on who is taking most of them and it's a coaches job to make sure those shots go to the players who should be taking them.
I mean, Anthony Davis was taken first overall, and has been in the league for six years, and he still can't really get his own shot.

It’s all fox/Buddy
Kings needed both to be quality starter types going forward, hope they turn it around

Again, what I'm seeing is spacing. You can't get into the lane with 3 defenders hanging around with one offensive player making a 20% success rate back door attempt and two offensive bigs in a horn set. Passing is easy in a drive and dish system. Which is what the Kings should be running.

I've hated what he's done from day 1 and it looks much the same, but even I have to say it isn't this bad. I don't think the Kings are better off playing this style but they will be better than this at it.

This team will be hard pressed to win 25 games.
There just isn’t enough established NBA caliber talent on this team. I see a lot of young athletes kids who are not ready to compete at the NBA level. They don’t play ANY defense and offensively they are not very good either. It’s going to be a long and painful season. Hopefully by the end of the season 1 or 2 of the young players will establish that they belong in the NBA

He can easily take minutes from JJ at the 3 or Mason at the 2 until Bogs comes back. (At this point nobody can say whether JJ or Mason is in the long term plans). I thought he played pretty well tonight for a guy who hasn't played in a long time. Give him two or three weeks and he looks like he makes a positive impact on this team. This team needs his defensive toughness so badly...

I can see it, but as you said, until Bogdan comes back. Iman is yet another SG who is really more of a combo PG/SG historically. That's a tough spot to be in with a team overloaded at both ends and a coach who seemingly loves small dual PG lineups.

Kings couldn't guard a simple pick and roll. As Christie said during the game: Why didn't they start with defensive pressure at the beginning of the game, not the start of the 2nd half? Painful game to watch.
Play of the game from the Kings' perspective: Bagley taking the rebound coast to coast for a layup.
