[Game] (Preseason)Kings @ Warriors, 10/11/2024 7pm Pacific, 10pm Eastern (NBCSN)

[Tetsujin]

Currently, he is -26 on the night and there are less than two minutes to play.

Watch the actual game instead of the box score

 

[Caccia]

What is "Rakuten?" A tech start-up? Some kind of packaged noodles?

 

[Double-K]

Colby Jones hasn't shown out much... between Crawford, Issac Jones, Mason Jones, Boogie Ellis... does he still have a spot?

He looks terrible, frankly, out of control. What has he done right? I have not even seen a good screen yet.

It's like Japan's Amazon.

Issac Jones worked hard, made the right decision. Hustle for the O-Board. From eye test, I'm kinda surprised that he's -26.

 

[SacTownKid]

Crawford and Isaac Jones look like keepers, so at least there's that.

Gonna be a bloodbath between the young guards between Colby, Mason, Boogie...

 

[HndsmCelt]

Starters have some things to work on offensive rebounding and free throws top on the list otherwise looking good. Have no idea what our bench will look like since they didn’t play tonight, but Stockton got some great talent heading down there.

Just to make sure you’re not watching a different player than everyone else, Isaac Jones is the one in the #17 jersey.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Eh they had to play 2 starters and their 6th man most of the game. Like what Boogie brings as a back of the bench guy for this year and jones has a future I think.

Hard to miss with the fro...

Ummm, does Sam Mitchell have CTE?

which one?

 

[dude12]

Colby just can’t shoot. That is a problem. Looks like he’s getting worse.
Mason Jones just hasn’t impressed. Quite the opposite.
Isaac Jones is going to be a rotation guy in the future……and Crawford looks solid.
Boogie Ellis needs to stay in the system with his ability to shoot

He's always been a weirdo.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Who are these guys... Beekman? Santos? Spencer?

A bunch of guys who have Beijing Ducks jerseys in their future.

 

[miltonap]

Play Isaac Jones

You never know… according to fitz, Gui Santos is only one short growth spurt away from being the next Giannis!

 

[Angelo127]

I'm miltonap and I'm going to repeat myself, play Isaac Jones

 

[MizzouKing]

It’s gotta be so frustrating to lead the entire game and then watch your scrubs lose it in the final 3 minutes… Time to teach the art of the offensive rebound.

I don't know if "frustrating" is the right word.

If I had a full 3-course meal, I don't know if I'd be "frustrated" that I can't fit in the dessert.

How great of a job Dunleavy done by getting the 7'2" wingspan Melton

Actually, they said a 7'3" wingspan.

Which is pretty interesting, because if you go to the NBA's combine anthropometric page, Melton was measured with a 6'8.5" wingspan at the combine.

Only missed it by two.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The bench is now 0-9 from three, through three quarters. Whatever "type" Monte McNair is looking for, he needs to have a box marked "long-range shooting" on the evaluation sheet. Kessler Edwards, the guy he let go, shot .385 from distance last season, essentially the same as Trey Lyles, and third on the team. Edwards now plays for the Mavericks.

Assuming Keon remains in the starting lineup, the four most important players on the Kings' bench this year are expected to be Monk, Huerter, Lyles, and either McLaughlin/Carter. I'll leave it up to you to determine how many minutes those players logged in this preseason game.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Maybe I misheard the wingspan comment but I thought were talking about that kid Post they drafted who has a 7 something wingspan. Could be wrong though

 

[iowamcnabb]

Keegan with 5 steals and a block. Changed a bunch of shots and had some deflections. Pretty monster preseason game for him on that end plus the 8 free throw attempts.

I thought Keon was much better in this one. Can’t wait to see how KVon looks.

For some of us in places like Africa at the moment the box score is all we got.

I could have sworn they were talking about Melton.

I stopped an old man along the way
Hopin' to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"

 

[Tetsujin]

I could have sworn they were talking about Melton.

Which is still blatantly wrong because every single place I’ve checked has Melton’s wingspan at a still impressive 6’8.5” or 6’9” rather than the same wingspan as Giannis except as a 6’3” guard.
