Stockton 23/24 thread

[Tetsujin]

Slawson is starting to look damn good in Stockton. Looks too good for the league, which is a great sign.

had a Domas Double-Double last night

An awesome performance from Dane Goodwin sparked a double-digit victory against Oklahoma City for the @StocktonKings.

Some high quality defense he’s going against

 

[iowamcnabb]

He has a 101 defensive rating which is very good and lower than the other starters. 28 percent from three is not good and his shot is kinda wonky. He will be 25 at the start of next season so the next year will be critical in his development if he wants a crack at the big league.

True, but Im still expecting a nice addition to the mother team in the near future. Legitimate size at the forward positions.

 

[joemama]

That's pretty epic, but isn't he required to be behind the three-point line until the ball hits the rim? He was all the way to the lane.

It's on the release.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

It's on the release.

Right, for some reason had the guys outside the three line mixed up with the shooter. It's a shooter vs. everyone else rule, not a rule based on above the FT line vs. below the FT line.

We picked up tickets to go to the game on March 10 - four essentially courtside seats at an individual table plus free food for $209 - they were running a special on Friday.

2 Stockton Kings players in "Team USA", from the other names called I am familiar with former ROTY MCW, Jordan Bell and Elfrid Payton, no clue about the others, I guess all are from G League.

Don't even think he is that mini since I think he is bigger, or the same size as Draymond. I think Draymond has 15 pounds on him though. It would be really nice if his Draymond comparisons pan out, that would be huge.

Skal has been on a tear ever since I wrote that post saying he doesn't really look very impressive. Good for him. I hope he gets another shot at the NBA.

you seem to have watched the most Stockton, how was Mason Jones defense in the games you have seen?

I haven't really concentrated on that part of his game much so I don't think he's been much of a stand out. I have him as a 3pt shooter or straight line driver. Not a fan of his playmaking. Too wild and too many bad decisions. He'll rack up some assists but he'll also come close to matching them with turnovers as well.

 

[Telemachus]

Here are highlights of one game that Mason Jones has played for Stockton. Some good highlights of other players as well. Jones is wearing #15.

Slawson and Colby both putting up box score stuffing stat lines against G-League competition almost every night now. Jordan Ford still looks like he could probably not crater the team if god forbid something happened and half of our guard depth chart was unable to play in the same game for some reason (Keon turning out to be a functional PG in our offensive scheme unfortunately pushed Ford further down the depth chart).

Skal looks good against G-Leaguers as you’d expect him to. Jaylen Nowell is back on the Stockton Kings now apparently(?) and loves to get up those shots.

(All of these guys ouplayed OMax for the Texas Legends last night by the way)

 

[mrlaze]

More Colby please. He's been on it since he got drafted.

Like father(s) like son(s) overtime win for the Stockton boys!

Woah, that is some crazy lens distortion! Using Slawson's listed height of 6'7", if I had to guess based only on this picture I'd swear dude's wingspan is 8 feet.

Mason with a monster statline. Colby continues to look more and more polished as a shotmaker. Skal is trying.

we’ve been comping him to Josh Hart since we drafted him but there’s a lot of Derrick White in some of the moves here.

 

[The_Jamal]

I like Mason Jones always looking for his teammates. Looks like a very polished passer.

 

[mrlaze]

If i havent yet I want to say I'm onboard with Colby.

 

[Warhawk]

We're going to the game on Sunday. Looking forward to it!

Mason putting up Tyrese Haliburton stat lines every game in the G-League haha

 

[megapoxy]

i wonder if his presence in the bench would have helped the Kings against the Wizards (regarding Mason Jones)

https://twitter.com/x/status/1771054714131554510

Deonte Burton looks good too (from the highlights at least) but I doubt he will ever make it to the first team

https://twitter.com/x/status/1771048658642812975

Nowell was the leading scorer, he used to play well for Minnesota, no idea why no NBA team wants him anymore.

Mason Jones just might be an NBA player?
