line looks good, as Keegan might be the best player in the tournament, as of this moment

Murray is good

Such a strange group to be working out. I’m down for Cook or Delly. They can help with the culture. I’m confused by the Shabazz sighting though. He had so much promise, but he never turned out to be anything but a black hole.

Murray has looked as promised, a guaranteed floor of a good pro for a win now team and excellent Sabonis fit instead of gambling on anything

Didn't get to catch the game, Ellis had a nice box score. Would certainly be something if we could finally catch a nice 2nd round/undrafted role player.

Depth at shooting guard is looking incredible. Lots of SF minutes incoming for Huerter?

Agree on Sochan. If we were to trade down I would have loved to drafted him.

Congratulations Keegan for winning Summer League MVP. Well deserved.

He will be ready to contribute as back-up small forward from day one. It just goes to show that it makes good sense to draft players who actually know how to play basketball, as opposed to banking on hoped-for and hyped-up "potential" and "athleticism."

I don’t want to misread what you said. I didn’t come here to be sarcastic or to make fun of you guys. I truly meant congratulations. I like Keegan. I like my Magic pick too, I didn’t mean anything by it.

He's not a Kings board regular. Profile says Lakers

Not at all. I liked what I saw from Murray & expect to follow the Kings this year. My comment had also to do with the "one and done" era in college basketball and the NBA, which has had negative effects all around the last several years. So many of the young players are lacking in fundamental skills--simple things like boxing out, anticipating the first step, moving the rock to the open man, shooting layups with either hand.

End of rant.
