Kings 0-7 from three lol

Most of them short too. Must be starting to feel it in the legs.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Getting doubled up on the boards and missing all our threes is making things difficult haha

 

[NiNetNiNe]

I guess Tomlin is going to play the whole game lol

 

[Tetsujin]

This Kinsey dude being aggressive driving to the paint haha

 

[Tetsujin]

Cardwell ain’t missing that

 

[Tetsujin]

Nique is so, so good

 

[Tetsujin]

That first part of the 2nd quarter was a perfect example of how pressure defense can trick teams into wins in summer league. As soon as the Cavs cut the pressure the Kings go right on a run.

 

[Tetsujin]

44 on the Cavs dying to foul out by halftime.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kinsey earning himself a contract somewhere with this game today lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Isaac gotta put his mask on. That’s like the third shot to the face he’s taken tonight

 

[The_Jamal]

We take an 8 point lead with Carter and Nique a combined 2-9. Defense is legit

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings up by 12 despite not having hit a single three in the game.

 

[The_Jamal]

Carter is just a flat out bowling ball driving to the rim. I'm not sure how many guard defenders have the strength to really check him

People will always look at numbers and stats and blah, blah, blah but Maxime's screens? If they put those in the assist column this dudes putting up Jokic level numbers. Great screens, great communication.

Yeah no way he had surgery, if he did it's about to be undone in this game lol.

That first Carter lay-up was all Max. Tough screen and he forced his man into "no man's land" where he got caught by sticking on Max for fear of the pick and pop and stopping ball

 

[Tetsujin]

Devin is just starting to take every single crease he sees on offense and the Cava have been unable to stop him

 

[Tetsujin]

Nique seeing the entire floor

 

[Tetsujin]

NIQUE STEPBACK THREE

If anyone saw Carters free throw stroke last year and now to summer league and says this kid isn't working on his game or can't improve? Good luck shoveling that. Moon ball shots? OK. Moon ball free throws not so hot. He may have fixed it in the matter of a few months. That thing is about a foot lower.

if his dad is the one that helped him with that, the Kings need to hire Anthony Carter for their staff ASAP

 

[The_Jamal]

Niiiiiiique

Also love the confidence of Carter taking that tech FT and drilling it.

 

[Sherds]

NIQUE STEPBACK THREE

He looks really fluid, pretty to watch

If I said who this reminded me of, some of y’all would get mad.
