Final Pre-Season Game Thread "The Niang HH Bromance Continues"

Observations from tonight’s game... non-obvious stuff

Grayson looks like he belongs in an nba court and seems more prepared and assertive than anyone on the Kings roster. I am already wrong about him and offer my sincerest apologies for doubting our FO. Also, back in the day I used to say Gordon and joe were the best father son duo in the league... it is clear that Gordon was a temporary foster kid until Joe could have his own progeny. Joe is clearly found of him and has taken him under his wing.

AB was as good as I’ve ever seen tonight... just smoove

Ekpe is likely everyone’s favorite teammate. Literally everyone comes out they seats when he does anything.

Dante looks ready and still gets the worst whistle in the league.

Donovan is the best... hangs out with the end of the bench guys... first one out to great his guys after every timeout... helped Cavanaugh get off the floor like 12 times. He stopped and signed the pic my son took with him at summer league... even commented and said “hey that’s cool”.

Niang started slow... was kind of nervous with his #1 Stan in the building then reached up and touched the heavens for that dunk. I’m not 100% sure but when I watched that dunk it felt like my sins were cleansed. Also I believe it turned half of the kings fans to dust Thanos style.

Hell of a post.
Im really sick of dante getting ****ed by the refs. Never ends. They screw him more than anyone in the nba.
 
his #1 Stan in the building

Haha. Made me laugh

I have to keep my expectations to a healthy level or I might turn to dust.

I found myself doing the same. They looked so good I had to keep telling myself this is the Kings, and no one is really this good unless you are playing the kings.

I was super disappointed in Fox’s game, just a dissatisfied performance, maybe a product of it being pre-season and getting blown out all game long. He’s one of my favorite young players. Love his speed and skill set, and is a jump shot away from being a very nice player.

Watching the game, I feel WCS could be a very good and unique player if he could get away from the kings. I tried to imagine what he could do with Q as his coach. Loved Bagley’s game. Very smooth midrange game and smooth stroke from three, just needs to develop his range a little, and where was Bogdanovic, is he injured?
 
I don't think that's how it works

Grayson plays some 1. Thabo played more time at the 3 last year than he did at the 4.

Don't you think Grayson and Burks would eat at their minutes if they were outplaying them? Or have things changed with how minutes are rewarded?

I dont think Thabo played a single minute of 3 last year.
 
I guess it's not too late to hop on the Niang bandwagon? After that dunk against the Kings I am starting to think maybe he DOES have enough athleticism to play in the league. He might be a diamond in the rough.

At any rate my evaluation of him went up quite a bit after seeing that dunk.
