2011 Training Camp Thread

Jason Jones is tweeting from the Kings first day at training camp. Some interesting observations he's made:

JJ Hickson's athleticism really jumps out on this team

I really hope Hickson takes after Hayes defensively. Otherwise, I feel like Hickson is just as bad as a fit as Landry was. Really hope I'm proven wrong because Hickson may be the best athlete on the team.

Black team: reke, marcus, dmc, hayes and salmons vs white: jimmer, cisco, hickson, greene, thompson

Thats probably our starting lineup and our bench on Day 1. If AK is signed he could fit in in a number of different places (at SF or PF).

All the tweets on Hayes is that he sets great screen, immovable, and getting good reviews by the coaches.

Jimmer is having trouble with the "jump pass" but his offense is impressive.

Sacramento Kings
Inside Look: @boogiecousins says he's going to try to get @jimmerfredette to move in with him. Thoughts #KingsFans?



I think that is awesome!

[pillwenney]

That needs to be a reality show.


Like, right now.

Sorta reminds me of Rob and Big, but DMC and Jimmer are opposites.

Anyone go to the GSC and see Jimmer dance? I think Jimmer and Big Cuz would be hilarious....

[pillwenney]

Oh yeah. Jimmer's dance confirmed that he is in fact the whitest human being on the planet.

Jimmer was actually pretty good at the jerk. If anything he proved he was less white lol. Kid has some moves. Definitely better then isiah thomas

Listening to Chuck Hayes interview and watching this clip makes me a believer! He can guard who ever he wants to.

I give it a half hour before that Cousins clip is picked up as a serious story about him being out of shape.

[Wolfay]

Cousins

Thornton and Hayes were saying the right things at least. They seem to want to be here.

I'm getting good vibes folks. I have a feeling it's going to be somewhat like what happened right after the last lockout. Perhaps not playoffs, but I think we'll be in the hunt.

[pillwenney]

I wish I could believe the whole defensive mentality thing, because that is the most important part to defense. Unforunately, it's hard to take it seriously as anything but preseason conjecture.

[SacKingZZZ]

Yeah, Cousins is freaking hilarious. hahaha.

Jimmer team won all the scrimmages, twice agaisnt the first team.

Good for Jimmer/our bench, bad for our starters
