Anyone else wondering about Fox and summer league. He certainly could use it but have not yet heard he is going to play. Seen a lot of Giles and Jackson working hard. Less so Fox and Skal.

Yeah except Giles will be playing Center not Bagley.

I don’t know how accurate this link is but it’s getting updated daily with Summer League rosters. It has Fox playing, I would question
the front office if he wasn’t.

I can't think of one non-injury related reason why the Kings should not play Fox in summer league.

I'd rather have him spend that time building strength in the weight room and working on his shot

Emiliano Carchia: Undrafted combo guard Allerik Freeman will play the NBA Summer League with the Sacramento Kings, per sources. Freeman spent his senior season in NCAA with NC State averaging 16.1ppg

Grant and Doug said he will be playing in sacramento but not vegas.

It doesnt show Frank Mason on SL Roster?

I'd say the accuracy is pretty questionable. It shows Luka Doncic playing for Dallas and the Mavs have already said that it's unlikely he'll play in Summer League.

Just bought tickets to Tuesday's game. How is everyone watching the Sac classic and summer league from home?

Hield could use some SL reps as well imo.

He's playing for the Bahamas in FIBA same time as summer league.

Needs both. Want to see him improve his play making.

Are they sold out of summer league tickets for the July 2nd games? I don't see anything on ticketmaster.

 

[lwc]

Sounds like Gabriel will play in SL for the KIngs!!!

I'm a very happy man!

 

[Noble]

Could we possibly have a gem for the sf position already on the roster?

His scoring is really inefficient. I don't see him making the roster. I think Wenyen Gabriel has a much better shot at a 2 way contract with the Kings.

Do you guys think the games will be available via replay ? Work...

 

[Noble]

Gabriel reminds me of an Aminu type player

 

[jiimbob]

I wasn't paying much attention this draft to any players that were not in consideration to go #2. Since Gabriel got a SL invite I have watched some tape on him and think he looks good, great interview after the Kings pre draft workout. Hope he shines and gets a spot.

I just checked and it looks like they opened up the upper bowl and have tickets available for $10/each.

If you have ESPN they should have all the summer league games archived. They will all be on WATCHESPN.

I think most of us plan on watching in t-shirts shorts and drinking cold beer but personally I'll be drinking coffee and not even bothering to put on a shirt I'll just write the Kings logo on my chest.

His shot already looks good and by all accounts he is a good shooter in practice. He needs to start applying that to actual games where it actually matters. That's the mean reason I want him in summer league.

I agree that he needs to hit the weight room hard though.

Yep. Their progression thru the amatuers on much different time/development frames. Gabriel's HS team was actually very bad, and he'd put up all sorts of crazy stats. He really blew up in a short amount of time, he was outside of the top-100 and then Duke and UK wanted him in the blink of an eye.

Aminu on the other hand was a boss in HS and college and a lotto pick. He's a bit bigger and a bit more fluid, better passer, better dribbler. I remember watching him bust Greg Monroe's ass real bad even tho he ws the consensus #1 player in the class.

Gabriel is clearly a better 3pt shooter at this stage though, it's not even close. There's many similarities tho,both ball hawks/excellent motors, great intangibles, team first low-profile guys.

Here's the interview of anyone missed it

Cool!! remember watching Al Freeman at Baylor and thinking he was gonna make the NBA. He had many bright performances this year for NC State too. I always thought he was just overlooked cuz he's an inch or 2 short.

He led a big upset over #2 Arizona too..


With him and Marcus Foster this team is gonna have a nice scoring punch at the SG spot..

Huh...surprised Ayton isn't doing that.

Honestly for the money, are you really going to find a Durant stopper in this FA pool? Hell nah.

Ina few years that Bahamas team will actually be pretty good. There's this 6'9" kid named Kai Jones, crazy athlete, who will be eligible for the 2020 draft that will likely be their starting PF next to Ayton for a long time.
