Not especially a good sign.


He does, that's always his attitude lol... But he does deliver with that laid back mindset.... Credit to the Sac defense

Kai can run and pass and catch better than Biz, but he has a long way to go

Lack of a point guard isn't doing this team any favors

I really wish we would have invited JaQuori to our SL team. He is a solid PG. I wonder why we are not letting Joel Berry play

Ok that's reassuring.
I actually never watched him play outside of highlights.

Bouknight is NOT a chucker but like I said he can go a bit NUT-ish at times... During his NUT-ish phaze he does make good passes and makes good on most of his attempts.

JaQuori, Kuminga and Moody play right after our HORNETS. Great night of basketball.

Book has passed up on some open three's when he shouldn't have -- he thinking was to attack a close out to get a better shot, but at times that open shot is as good as it gets

Kulboka is playing very well on both sides of the ball. With spacing in our offense he could be deadly.

Kai isn't playing horrible -- does feel like his body/movements are ahead of his mind, but thats to be expected.

That's part of what I mean when I say he's more of a nut than a chucker... Overall he looks to make the better play (or what he feels is that) rather than chuck. He will pump fake and drive far more often than shoot it unless he is wide open or he can shoot a stepback jumper

Bouknight not strong or fast enough to impose his will on the game and not buying himself space by knocking down 3s looking overly reliant on his handle

Riller and Richards have been truly special, just some really "what are you thinking" turnovers

Davion is an excellent defender, probably day 1 one of the top 10 defensive guards in the NBA

Kulboka is the only one playing worth a damn.

That's what I meant when I wrote the whole

Bouknight has dribble, but then he will just dribble the ball off his leg. etc... It's like its totally there for him but he has these lapses.

If you think Davion Mitchell is good, wait until you see Jared Butler

That give and go between Bouknight + Thor was interesting
