Stockton Kings 2024-2025 Open Thread

Shouldn't take weeks but yeah he needs these reps.

I have no idea how many games G-League plays a week, but my intital thinking was to get him a "preseason" sort of set-up where he plays 4-5 games before coming up.

 

[Sluggah]

I like Carter

 

[Tetsujin]

Already clear that Devin Carter is better than every other guy on the floor lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Isaiah also looks good.

 

[The_Jamal]

Icraw looks like he could take that back-up wing spot right now. He's looking fully healthy and not tentative at all, like he did in SL

 

[Tetsujin]

Cissoko with a J-Will-esque pass to the lower bowl food vendors

 

[Tetsujin]

Man, our white guys are killing us lol

 

[The_Jamal]

Cissoko looks great. Just love that for the Spurs, I really do.

 

[Tetsujin]

Don’t want to overreact but Dexter Dennis really might be the worst player I’ve ever seen.

 

[The_Jamal]

Carter with 3 3's in the 1H LOL

 

[Tetsujin]

SPACING ISSUES ARE SOLVED

 

[Tetsujin]

DEVIN DEFENSE AND THEN HUSTLE BOARD

 

[The_Jamal]

Carter stops the fast break by himself, finds the Mason Jones shooter, gets the O-Reb tip to Skal labs. Holy crap

The Josh Hart comps look pretty on the mark. Ridiculous hustle player. Makes nothing but winning plays.

 

[ESP47]

I'm impressed. That shot looks really good. One air ball, one heave at the end of the quarter and the rest have been nothing but net.

 

[Tetsujin]

Devin Carter is doing it all right now.

The three-point shot looks strong, and he's knocked down looks in transition, with his feet set and with a hand in his face.

15 PTS | 3 REB | 2 STL | 6/10 FG | 3/5 3PT | 12 MIN

HE CLOSES OUT ON ANOTHER 3PT SHOOTER

 

[Sluggah]

I don’t think I’ve ever caught some highlights of a player on YouTube, then when I see them for the first time live, they casually deliver their highlights over 8 minutes.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings really fired Mike Brown before the one guy who would help solve a bunch of our issues got healthy lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Terry Taylor destroying the spurs rn lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Carter hitting the floor on every single play. Guy gonna fit in with Colby and Domas lol

 

[The_Jamal]

Carter working his ass off; attacks the rim, draws the foul. This dude has no fear.


Also Terry Taylor has always been a "watch" guy for me. He's had some success at the NBA level.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Kings having no wings at the big league level while just sitting on Terry and ICraw at the Stockton level is hilarious.

 

[Caccia]

Does Carter look like he is hurt? What gives? Twice he took hard falls.

 

[Tetsujin]

Dude is the son of a role player who had to fight for every single minute of his NBA career and plays like it.

 

[Sluggah]

This play by play guy is kinda legit

 

[SacTownKid]

Definitely gassed. He's huffed and puffed his way through the last few minutes haha.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah. The guy is fairly obviously playing his first stretch of competitive basketball since March. That considered, he is going GREAT

 

[Tetsujin]

Devin Carter took a hard bump on a screen, but waived off any sub attempt from the bench.

Overall, a very impressive first half. 15 points, 6/10 FG, 3/5 FG, 4 rebounds, 1 steal. pic.twitter.com/u1M1wEMhzy

don’t like him rubbing his shoulder at the end of the play there though.

 

[BenchMob]

This is the perfect medicine after yesterday, love Carters awareness, hustle, and dawg. I think he will give the big team a punch in the arm, can’t wait
