Stockton 23/24 thread

[Tetsujin]

We’re running elbow sets through Jake Stephens and it’s working?

 

[Tetsujin]

Gotta give Anjali Ranadive credit, this Stockton roster is full of players that might actually be useful to the Kings at some point.

LOL THE STOCKTON KINGS CURRENTLY UP BY 40 midway through the second quarter

Stephens has always been a good passer and he's definitely a good enough shooter to keep defenses honest.

 

[Tetsujin]

Colby reads the passing lanes perfectly, picks off the pass and delivers a dart to complete the fast break

Don't think I've ever seen that.

 

[Tetsujin]

Gotta be honest with ya. Not sure how the hell Colby fell to the second round but I’m pretty sure the other 29 teams in the league are already regretting it.

Colby assist, Colby steal and dunk, Colby airball

Stars get a dunk to cut the Kings lead to 45. Coach Harding calls a timeout. Mike Brown somewhere beaming.

Colby on the verge of getting a points/assists/steals triple double.

what did he end up with?

 

[Kingz19]

Colby 16 points, 9 assists, 8 steals, 6 rebounds

not shabby

 

[Tetsujin]

what did he end up with?

He got pulled mid-way through the third because the Kings were up by 50.

 

[Telemachus]

what did he end up with?

Game is still going (he likely done), he has 16pts, 9 assets, 8 stls, 6 rbs, and 1 blk.

That's a "I'm way too good to be here, call me back up" stat line

Are Stockton games decently attended? I watched the highlights of this game and there looked to be about 20 people in the stands. Granted it was a Tuesday but that’s pretty rough. Probably doesn’t help that the Gleague team is in the same city as the bug club. They have a bunch of draft picks on this roster so it should have been intriguing for diehards.

Same region, not the same city. Depending upon route, it’s upwards of 60 miles away. Practically the same driving distance as to Napa, which is the North Bay.

I wish they would have been there when I lived in Stockton. Went to a bunch of Thunder games since my BiL got tix through work. And I'm not even much of a hockey fan. They were well attended. Id say 60 to 80% filled.

Yeah, the Thunder games were great. The Heat not so much. Changing the name and swapping out the teams killed the attendance somewhat.

I've been to a couple of Stockton Kings games over the past year or so and they are generally pretty sparsely attended.

More sleepless nights for Coach Brown, Colby too good for G league of that I am certain and he's certainly better than Duarte at this point.

That's just great drafting from Monte McNair. With their depth, the Kings don't really need Colby Jones right now. But he's looking like a legitimate NBA talent out there, awaiting his opportunity to crack the rotation in the event of an injury or in the event that McNair packages a few Kings in a trade for an upgrade. For now, they can move him back and forth between Stockton and the big club and bring him along comfortably without any pressure. It's been awhile since the Kings were able to draft players that don't have expectations heaped upon them because they're joining a deep, successful team.

 

[midtowner]

Colby is talented. I think Stockton provides him an opportunity to work on being a lead ball handler. I don’t think he’s ready for that at the NBA level yet - but I think Kings envision him as a guy that can be developed to handle point guard duties.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Now the question is what’s the long term and short term for Colby with the Kings?

 

[Telemachus]

Now the question is what’s the long term and short term for Colby with the Kings?

The short term is to continue to get better focusing primarily on his 3pt shot and play making. Long term is to be a rotational player on the Kings.
