Bajaden and Cruzdude will be the KF.com Terrible Twosome at Vegas summer league and will get out summaries as best the local WiFi will allow. Sometimes there is WiFi there, sometimes not. But every day we will share our views and maybe some photos from Tin, our local UNLV student-photog-KingsFan.

What's wrong with Twix bars??? Them is tasty!

Twix bars are delicious but a piece of me died when they phased out the cookies & cream flavor.......sorry for going off-topic but I had to get that off my chest

Brockness Monster?

Ya I tweeted jason jones why is tyreke not playing summer league? And he said because he is preparing for team usa and that he is established enough in the league to be able to skip it.
He said summer league is for rookies and 2nd and 3rd year players that got very few minutes and players coming off injury seasons.

So why isn't Brockman playing in summer league? Anyone? Anyone? Buehler?

So why isn't Brockman playing in summer league? Anyone? Anyone? Buehler?

Because he's not currently under contract with the Kings. The third post in this thread states (from Jason Jones) that if Brockman is signed by the time summer league starts, he is expected to play.

Sylven Landesberg

I ran into this article link about Sylven Landesberg (member of our summer league team) and I thought he could be an interesting addition to our team next season.
What do ya guys think?

Is Ryan Thompson (Jason's bro) still playing with us in Vegas? I just saw him playing for the Celtics in the Orlando Summer League.... is he double dippin?

Tyreke will practice with the summer league team to start to get familiar with the new guys but won't play in games as he is prepping for Team USA tryout just after summer league.

Is it going to be the same with Casspi? hes getting to israel in 20th July to start the Eurobasket tournament with the national team.

Yeah right after the Orlando summer league ends he fly's straight to Vegas to play for us.

Interesting stats for Ryan Thompson in yesterday's game for Boston:
15 minutes, shot 2-3 with 0 3PT, 3 PF, 0 AST, 9-9 from the stripe for 13 pts.

Favors was only 2-8 with 2 blocks and 8 pts.

I've forgotten -- did he end up having to skip summer league last year because of the NT work?

No, he was at summer league last year. Didn't look terribly good, if I recall. Shot wasn't going. I'm not 100% sure he made all the games, but he was at least there for two or three.

 

[FromIsrael]

He played all the summer league's matches last year. for 100%
he skipped the NT last summer... but this year he will play all the 8 games of the NT

 

[Jechtsphere]

Well he's on the SL roster so I expect him to play.

 

[NME]

No, he was at summer league last year. Didn't look terribly good, if I recall. Shot wasn't going.

He seemed lost, which made his start to the regular season all the more surprising.

Apparently I watch too much NBATV... my fiancé is going to call of the wedding if she has to hear about Lebron, DMC, and if Gilbert Arenas and John Wall can coexist. Crap I just realized I'm watching it right now, ruh roh!

I really hope the games are televised, would love to see some Donte Greene and DMC action.

Maybe u can watch some desperate housewives with her to even it out.

Casspi played in summer league but only arrive from Israel the day before the first game thereby missing the Kings mini-camp in Sacramento. The 10 hour time change pretty much did him in for a few days plus not knowing anyone or any plays all contributed to his sub-par play in summer league.
