Training Camp Scrimmage Highlights!

yea. my point is we have freaking Willy Cauley out there doing so

Well why not? Willie has shown himself to be a good passer, and he had one of the lowest turnover rates on the Kings last season. Seems like the kind of big you would want running the high post. Or is it that you just don't like Willie and would criticize anything he does?

that high post offense needs to die...unless everyone on the team can develop 3pt shots

They just need more balance between the styles. They have bigs that should be able to shoot. They have one of the best 3 point shooters in the league last year already in Buddy and another really good one in Bogdan. They just signed Bjelica who is a true stretch combo forward. I see plenty of shooters but rather a lack of optimization.

To me the ball stuck in Fox’s hands (which hurts pace) and should have been slid between the two defenders to Giles in rhythm. It came about 2 seconds too slow. Fox was looking for a bail out to Giles which was the same I’m stuck bail out pass he threw to ZBo all last year. Willie should have been rotating up looking for that pass.

It seems really stupid to complain about a play that resulted in a wide open, high percentage look and assist for Fox. Not to mention if you watch his face he is actually looking for Skal first on the low block and then drops to Giles in space. I see nowhere in that sequence where he was looking for his. In fact, he was making reads and made the right one, resulting in 2 points.

Not to be negative, but I though Fox was hitting the weight room this summer? Based on a few of his posts and rumblings from various Kings social media it sounded like he was. He still looks like a twig out there.

if you go watch Fox's Media day interview he mentions that he put on some extra weight but he didn't want to put on too much because it would hurt his speed....it's a work in progress, he will eventually fill out with training over the years, he's still a teenager.

He naturally just has skinny legs. This quote from Coach Cal when recruiting Fox has always stuck in my mind.

"When I recruited him," John Calipari says, "I'm like, 'Look at this dude's legs. He can't be this skinny.' And then all of the sudden, he went out there, and those skinny legs ran real fast. And he's tough. He'll go in and get banged, and he's fine."

LOL

Really? The first play you watched set you on edge? You need to get a freaking life dude. It's only practice, and your trying to break it down like its a championship game. Lighten up a bit and relax. My god, I can't believe some of you people.

I’ll reply because i respect your opinion. With Bogi out Fox has to show growth in running the offense in the half court. While some here think it was a good play, I disagree and it indicates the same kind of mistakes Fox made last year. Fox is a key player for us and if he isn’t better it could be another long year.
