First round draft pick a couple seasons ago. Probably their best currently active defender and he's a pretty good shooter too. Young and only gonna get better. Can't wait until they get Murray and Walker back and pair the 3 together.
They had been a clutch team most of the season, but back to back games where they had a 7+ point lead late and can't close out. Also had a shitty first half again, it's been the trend for the last 2-3 weeks. I'm worried this is the start of their slide out of the playoff mix, even with an "easier" part of the schedule coming up after playing Denver and GSW. Can't keep losing to teams ahead in the standings and expect to make it.
He should probably get more PT, some games he has a good impact like tonight and others he fouls like crazy and makes bad decisions. With WCS being his usual inconsistent self and having a bad game tonight, the Kings need players who can rebound and give more energy. Bagley being out really sucks, they already had a steep hill to climb to make the playoffs but not having their lottery pick who brings rebounds/energy/offense off the bench for a month or more makes it a hell of a lot more difficult.
Gotta think Rose wins comeback but Kawhi as MVP is become a very real possibility.
Agreed but only because I don't think they want to give both to one player. It's like how a Cy Young winner almost never wins MVP in baseball.
