Game 3 : Phoenix Suns (1-1) @ Sacramento Kings (2-0) - 9:00 PM

[nolimit0820]

Fox, Buddy, Bagley combined 15/41. They gotta be better.

And HB only 6 shots...He needs to be a focal point in the offense. I'll put that on Fox. Point guard needs to get his guy involved.

Harrison Barnes as a focal point of any offense makes us the most unwatchable team in any sports history.

Focal point may be too strong on my end. I agree. My point is that he needs more than 6 shots per game. His aggressiveness attacking the rim makes the Kings more competitive.

Anyone willing to write off Bagley after 3 games I caution you.

Remember what our legend Jerry Reynolds preaches, big men take longer to develop.

Wasn't Bagley a guy who skipped his senior year of high school, came into the league very young? Then he balls towards the end of his rookie season and basically misses the entire next year... We need to he patient. This is like a guy out of high school playing his 2nd year of basketball.

There are going to be growing pains. And he may not ever be "the guy" but in a weird covid off-season he's trying to get his rhythm back. Just give it a third of a season before we completely write him off.

Generally I would agree with this point but we have seen little to no progress in Bagley’s game since the Kings drafted him. He still is very left hand dominate, still shoots a poor percentage, still is completely clueless on defense. For a kid who is supposedly a hard worker we have seen remarkably little skill development.

Rumor has it Coach K stopped trying to get Duke to play real D to accommodate Bagley's deficiencies. I don't see much development since then, but it's great to see any found money out of these bigs. Not a great rotation. Anyway: Bagley's not a deal breaker either way, for trades or playing time or whatever. I still like the idea of trying to run him as a small ball C for some scoring. Since Walton isn't really coaching, it doesn't really matter this year. When's his contract up again?

We picked up his option for next year at 11M.

Oh sorry I meant Walton's.

This is year two of a four year deal.
