So when WCS went out with early fouls Collins must have done great, right? Nope. WCS was AWOL in this game. Five fouls in 20 minutes. On his first rebound not only didn't he get his heels off the floor, he didn't get his hands above his waist. And then he fumbled that! Hopefully, he shows up against Philly.
The future is bright

I'm going to pick a small nit here. You bring up the "have faith" thing quite a bit. I cannot recall if you did it with PDA's regime. While I understand what you are trying to get at, I think as NBA fans, but specifically as Kings fans, asking us to have faith is a very hard thing to do.
Now, had you said, look at what Joerger has done in his 2.5 years bringing along these younger players slowly, and see how they are progressing. Use that for the basis of why we should let this process play out.
(I know you have said that before too)
I almost just watched highlights of this game as I accidentally saw the result this morning. Glad I decided to watch it (just finished). Very fun game. Amazing to see Giles and Bagley both have big games on the same night and develop some chemistry. Both of them were great, hard not to be excited for their futures.
Lots of spectacular highlights. Fox's crazy and-one, Marvin's dunk, Harry's pass, Buddy's spin move, Bogi's behind-the-back pass. Really fun stuff.
BTW, I've been getting the opponent's feed for the last few games (not intentional). Did anyone else watch the game with Hawks commentary? Easily one of the best duos in the league. They were incredibly unbiased. They were heaping praise on Giles and Bagley, and a lot of our other guys too. They got genuinely hyped at some of the above plays I mentioned. Really good announcers.

I missed the Atlanta game, but the Clippers announcers were also very complimentary (and knowledgeable) about the Kings young players. Up until the last 5 minutes of the game they kept saying that another Kings comeback was probably coming. The Kings didn't play particularly well in that game, but other teams know we're dangerous.
I'm glad to see Bagley getting more time and increasing his production, but to take it to the next level he needs to start draining those 3's.
He's missed 13 consecutive and his 3pt shooting is now down to 23%. His last make was Jan. 17th against Charlotte. Even if he were hitting just 33% he'd probably average 1.5 more pts per game.
He's a 19 year old rookie so I can live with his mistakes and turnovers, and the 3pt shooting isn't a concern by any stretch this incredibly early into his career, but I would really like to see that long distance shot start to fall a bit more.
Overall, you can see him improving on a game-to-game basis so I'm not going to be too hard on him. I'm happy with his development thus far.
