Some good, some bad. I'm a little concerned about the usage of Cousins, he's almost primarily being used in a Rondo pick and roll and the spacing in it's not the best lets say. Rondo with a classic Rondo game though. Not nearly enough going through Cousins for my liking.

Rudy has been able to step it up though with this system.

I think late in the games we will see it in Cousins hands more often.

We should see more opportunity for Ben I'd think than we have with Rondo running the offense, but hasn't happened yet.

Too much Magic Cousins for my liking. Past seasons called for Cuz bringing his playmaking ability on a nightly basis due to the overall lack of playmaking on that roster. Divac's Kings have no need for a constant dose of Magic Cousins. Too many turnovers or poor decisions being made leading to low % shots. Give the ball to your guards and go post up Cuz! I'll take that every time please and thank you.
Gotta say I'm pumped my boy Trill has shown he belongs. His IQ, ability to switch, and rim protecting transitioned to the NBA preseason Game 1. Dude is going to fill his role to the max. Great pick.
Its awesome to see Rondo's presence on the court bringing a calmness to Cuz and Rudy on offense. Hopefully it's happy go lucky this season in the locker room.
Anderson isn't flashy and his sample size for me is very small. INC. However he seems to have a better feel for the game than Ben. We will see.

Get in on the over fellas!

His turnovers usually come from iso moves, not passes. Right now the spacing is pretty brutal down low and the answer so far is to put Cousins up near the 3 point line or the "4" position in the dribble drive. Having a big that can destroy down low, draw doubles, and kick it out or find cutters is the stuff of multiple NBA championship rings, or so says history. And that's kind of the issue, the guards have the ball, but they are running pick and roll. Cuz had a decent finish on one in the game but that was a tough shot.

The spacing is a little better with Willie in there as opposed to Koufos. Interesting quotes from Karl on the post game, he said it's looking like Willie fits Cuz a little better and Koufos fits the bench better. I'm stoked about that because the most impressive thing to me in all of preseason so far has been Koufos' interior defense. He is just flat out changing things in there. If Cousins reproduces the kind of defense he showed last year that means 48 minutes of terrific interior D at center.

Another interesting quote from Karl was that he just "trusts" Anderson, not that McLemore is playing bad or anything according to him.

Sure most of his TO's come from ISO.. But I'm under the impression when Magic Cousins takes it full court his TO rate spikes. Unless it's a break away he needs to learn to give up the ball.

Yeah I'd take Magic Cousins over Sessions, but we have a pretty good pg rotation now, I'd like to see less of it too.

[City of Trees]

I know the Kings had a bunch of TO's tonight but I just saw the biggest eye popping stat

Rondo: 0 TO's

I was starting to see some good ball movement and unselfish basketball. I'd like to see more of that and less 1 on 1.

not surprised to hear coach Karl say he likes Trill next to Boogie. I mean after all isn't that why we drafted him?

Why do you think Curry is getting almost no playing time?

Rondo and Collison are pretty reliable career wise don't ya think?

Curry and Stockton are basically in competition to who gets sent to D league.

[Wolfay]

Spurs falling apart with Jimmer on the floor.

And McCallum.

Cousins thinking he's a point guard really needs to stop. It's a one way ticket to losses and a grumpy relationship with Coach Karl.

Yes, but Ben McLemore is looking a little shaky.

Curry seems a little short for a combo guard, but that's true.
