https://youtu.be/KohpLS3ImE8 New plan to ensure the individual success of Marvin Bagley: run pick-and-rolls with him nonstop until the defense figures it out. That’s what the Kings did this game, and the Bulls never really figured it out, so they just kept going back to it as Bagley racked up the points. Doing the same thing…

https://youtu.be/roiu-DwjS_w I’m looking at Marvin Bagley’s statisticals right now, and you know what I’m seeing? The same thing that everyone should be seeing: a 20 and 10 guy. The “20 and 10 guy” archetype is one of the most sought-after in the league, right behind “3 and D guy” but ahead of “ridiculous wingspan and…

Marvin Bagley has been injured for a lot of the season. The Kings haven’t been very good. Are these two things related? On the surface, they almost have to be. Not many teams don’t get worse when you take away their recent 2nd overall pick. I’m not so sure about the correlation (how many wins…

Right now, the idea for the Kings with regards to Marvin Bagley is for him to get the ball, and for him to try and score that ball. The thinking, presumably, is that if Bagley is going to have any great value in the NBA, it’s going to be for his scoring. So why not…

This is just the kind of game Marvin Bagley needs as he gets back into form after a month-long injury (clarification: the recovery time for the injury was a month long, not the injury itself, it would stuck to fracture your thumb in a very slow way such that it dragged out over multiple weeks)….

Marvin Bagley (or more accurately, his dad) finally got his wish: for Dave Joerger to be terminated from his position as head coach of the Sacramento Kings. A strange decision by Vlade Divac, to fire the coach that turned one of the jokes of the league into a respectable almost-playoff team, but after seeing the…

Well, it’s official. The playoffs aren’t happening for the Sacramento Kings. It seems like just yesterday that they started off the season hot and looked like they would finally end their decade-plus playoff drought. However, it wasn’t a wasted season. The Kings ended another drought, and that was the “look like a competent team” drought,…

Maybe I’m dumb, or maybe my knowledge of big men past and present is deficient, but I’ve been sitting here for AT LEAST two minutes and I’m not coming up with a good player comparison for Marvin Bagley. The closest I’ve come is Shawn Marion, but I don’t know if that’s a very good one….

What I really want to do right now is find comments from Kings fans after some disappointing preseason game for Marvin Bagley and post the comments so that others can ridicule their lack of faith. In fairness to them, the Kings have given their fans very little reason to not assume the absolute worst in…

When a rookie has a field goal percentage above 50%, I am 50% more likely to be a fan of that rookie over other rookies who don’t shoot as well from the field. That’s because I’m a simpleton who likes stats that are direct analogues to real-world occurrences (with the exception being win-shares; win-shares don’t…
