Notes from day 2 of Sacramento Kings training camp:
— Matt George (@MattGeorgeSAC) October 2, 2024
1. We didn't get to see any team drills today, but a lot of guys stayed after for individual work (including De'Aaron Fox)
2. A lot of people are encouraging Keegan Murray to talk more. Keegan said he feels comfortable…
Sabonis is listed at 6’11”. Did he grow?Today is Media Day. It starts at noon PT. Actual training camp starts tomorrow. I thought it would be good to have a place to discuss the next three weeks in the same spot, in addition to individual topics.
The NBA has scheduled all the pre-season games on the West Coast, which is helpful for continuity. They start with a home-and-home pair against Golden State.

Also, for handy reference, here is ESPN's training camp roster:

Fox’ knowledge of the game isn’t talked about enough. I love hearing him speak“I think he fits in perfectly.”

De’Aaron Fox explains how DeMar DeRozan is already getting comfortable in the Kings offense: pic.twitter.com/2PSnwLcmNl
Trey Lyles is typically pretty good, if i recall correctly.We are a week away from the first pre-season game. Who is going to set screens on this team, besides Domantas Sabonis and Alex Len? Sometimes it seems like a lost art in the NBA.
Who is going to set screens for Memphis? The Lakers? Houston? You have been Mr negative since training camp opened lol.We are a week away from the first pre-season game. Who is going to set screens on this team, besides Domantas Sabonis and Alex Len? Sometimes it seems like a lost art in the NBA.

They should have retired 00 after Greg Ostertag but definitely after WCS because that number matched his effort level.NBA Media Day thread, starting with our Sacramento Trojans 🧵✌️ pic.twitter.com/SDZuOCjJCz

Expected starting five of Fox/Ellis/DeRozan/Murray/Sabonis going against 2nd and 3rd string.
Still no Huerter, Carter, McLaughlin, or Lyles. pic.twitter.com/D7V9xgoxOl

Mike Brown on which young/new guys have impressed him.
— Brenden Nunes (@BrendenNunesNBA) October 3, 2024
He mentioned doing the little things well and said:
“Terry (Taylor) is probably leading the charge in that way. Boogie Ellis is probably a close second behind him. Mason (Jones) is doing some nice things out there.” pic.twitter.com/jEOZImQjUa

Plus how he’s grown and his perspective on today’s 5-on-5 action.

Orlando Robinson scored all of the Blue Squads points lol.
the Fox/DeRoz penetration attack already looking impossible to guard.
The extra juice Fox will have at the end of games, due to the DDR addition is enough to get me excited. I think the greatest season of his career is coming right upThursday's glimpse into Kings training camp included some 5-on-5 runs. pic.twitter.com/6xzcrAaKuy

I guess, he wants to win more games, especially in the playoffs, and push to the limits more than ever at this stage of his career. He's smart enough to put the individual glory aside and make the team win his priority now. I wouldn't be surprised if his stats go down.The extra juice Fox will have at the end of games, due to the DDR addition is enough to get me excited.

Absolutely his "stats" will go down. But not to the extent some might think. DeAaron is a stone cold killer. When it's winning time, he elevates. It's probably the biggest knock on his game that he doesn't fully dial in until it's winning time.I guess, he wants to win more games, especially in the playoffs, and push to the limits more than ever at this stage of his career.

That's a bummer. Thought, he recovered and was ready to play. Any timetable on his return?Training camp reports. As other have noted, the young guys (plus Skal Skal Labissière) are getting more of an opportunity in camp this year than they normally would have:

It turns out that Malik Monk was unable to play five-on-five basketball all summer due to the recovery from his knee injury. Coach Brown said that "Yesterday and today, he looked really good."
Statistically for sure, but, in terms of efficiency, i think we'll see a nice and hefty uptickI guess, he wants to win more games, especially in the playoffs, and push to the limits more than ever at this stage of his career.
