High energy guys. At the very least, Kings are establishing an identity.
Yeah, ball is life for all these guys—no distractions. They’re all relentlessly competitive, smart grinders. It’s an interesting project, for sure. But, we have a RFA max slot this year, and two full max slots next year, so we can still add to the core. Anyone they add is going to be the same kind of baller.
I think it’s enough to be really good. I am really, really high on Bagley (although my heart still aches for TTP).
Depends on Giles.
2020 is another lottery selection, how high we won't know but for the time being, I like the core of Fox, Giles and Bagley....two we haven't seen a single minute and that's the exciting part

I wouldn’t be so sure about that
It's a pretty crap core in all honesty the ceiling is not that high and aside from Bogie we don't really know if anyone else is going to be consistent and solid at both ends. Buddy Hield who gets a ton of hype on here in his first two seasons sucked in games when something was on the line (e.g. first 50 games of the season) and than exploded when his team was completely out of contention playing in meaningless games towards the end against other bench players and lesser intensity games. Fox and Bagley have potential and I'm not buying the Giles hype I heard Papa was Marc Gasol and hearing Giles as Webber scares me and I just don't think Skal has any IQ for the game his decision making takes half an hour to process. WCS is fools gold has all the tools but zero consistency and heart.
The only three I would keep are Bogie/Fox/Bagley (maybe Giles depending) in saying alll that at least we got a bunch of guys aside WCS who will compete that's a step up from many more previously talented on paper Kings teams.
True. Stock is very high internally.
How Giles and Bagley play together is a huge part of our future for me. If they can compliment each other and form a great frontcourt then we are truely set.
Both are rookies, and should push each other.
The SF piece isn't even a worry for me. Hield will be able to start within the next 12 months easily and bogdonovic can slot in at SF if necessary. We can build a strong bench via free agency which we are set for financially well.
