I think Ingles might be the slowest player in the NBA. He's not even a traffic cone on defense as guys run right past him.

Loving how much Randle is getting to the line. We need that badly! No one ever gets to the line on this team.

Can’t make shots and too much fouling. Not a good combination.

Dillingham is not much of a downgrade from Conley. Why not play him??

Wolves missing a lot of easy shots while the Kings are making a lot of hard shots.

Finch needs to clean up the lineups.

Can’t play Joe without Rudy.
Needs to let Dilly get some at least a shift with the starters.

Defense is a work in progress. One, because the lineups are f’ed up and two, because they are still trying to figure out rotations (see #one)

I like Jaden being aggressive on offense, but he needs to improve his shot selection.

except for Randle nobody looks to jump for a rebound. Ant is always out rebounded by players jumping over him.

Not a fan of the increased 3 attempts by Ant honestly. His bread and butter is attacking to open up his three ball.

He also looks speed up this year so far. Pressing maybe due to being the “man” now? Needs to slow down a bit.

Mike and Dante need to get on track.

Ant and Randle need to go to the basket every possession. I don't understand why we aren't attacking the rim against a team with no rim protection.

Better second. Ball movement is still an issue. Rudy did not get the ball under the paint, seems to be a shooting competition between ANT and Randle... not sure it's the best way to play. But at least defense was better once Rudy, Jaden, Mike back.

Randle is good individually, but he really does mess with the offence too much and is a liability on D.

Our starters just don’t move the ball. Doesn’t help that Jaden and Conley look absolutely pathetic on offense in the first game and a half. Randle. Nice.

I also am not sure what Ant’s doing out there. Jacking up contested threes. Not playing within the offensive flow at all.

This Sacramento team is well rounded. Underrated, and may be a bit of a surprise. West is stacked AF.

I should've known a 2-point margin and a 22-point half for the new guy would mean a thread full of complaints so far.

McDaniels is not good on both ends. Not sure why he’s not taking away Fox’s strong (left) hand. Fox is tough but at least make him finish with his off hand.
