I seem to recall a whole bunch of predraft hype around Frank Mason. Am I recalling correctly? Was it only because he was a Kansas product, or was there another reason, or am I making it all up? Did he do something during March Madness? That’s always good for unwarranted/slightly warranted hype. In any case,…

Willie Cauley-Stein 22 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2017)
I’m done trying to figure out Willie Cauley-Stein. I’ll leave the analysis of his value as a basketball player to Kings fans, who are already way more invested in him than I am, and sit back and enjoy the good games that he produces 1 out of every 8 tries or so. That way, I…
Read MoreSkal Labissiere 19 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)
Another day, another vid with way too many free throws. Skal Labissiere hit 5 shots tonight, a fact secondary to the 9 of 10 he shot from the line. I even thought about not making this vid, but I did anyway, obviously, because you’re watching the fruits of my wretched labors. I made it because,…
Read MoreZach Randolph 20 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2017)
Zach “Black Michelin Man” Randolph on the Kings just doesn’t seem right. His round body doesn’t want to wear a purple jersey, and his perfectly spherical head is not suited to wearing a purple headband. I get that he’s only there to excrete savvy veteran wisdom from his wisdom-pores, but I can’t figure out why…
Read MoreJustin Jackson 19 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2017)
The amount of primo young talent on the Kings is freaking me out right now. And it’s not the tanking kind of young talent that the 76ers had a few years ago. Even their “DNP-too scrubby” prospects have potential or whatever. Except for Vince Carter. I don’t think he has any potential left anymore. Just…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 21 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
I’ve totally done a 180 on this 12-foot-tall 3D-printed statue of Buddy Hield that I have chilling out in my apartment. After I spent most of last year trying various ways to ignore it or remove it from my life entirely through increasingly desperate means, now this thing is basically my best friend. It’s nice…

I bet you can guess what this video description will be about. It should be obvious. If it’s not obvious, you’re a lot smarter person than I am, and maybe you should be writing the descriptions since apparently you have so many more ideas than I do. Here’s the thing. Before this game, I was…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 14 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2017)
When Bogdan Bogdanovic scored 9 points in the first quarter, I refused to let myself get hyped. I’ve been burned too many times by players who start out hot and then fizzle out quickly. Sure, sometimes you get a player who continues scoring the whole game and ends up with 30 or 40, but most…
Read MoreDe’Aaron Fox 18 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2017)
The Kings’ roster is a “raw young talent”-lover’s wet dream this season. Aside from Zach Randolph and George Hill who we can just pretend don’t exist, and Garrett Temple, who everyone already pretends doesn’t exist, there’s nothing but intriguing players ranging in quality from sub-scrub to high-end role-player. Teams composed like this never do well,…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 15 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2017)
The Kings fooled me earlier in the season by not looking like total absolute trash entirely. I thought “hey maybe the Kings are only like the fifth or sixth worst team despite being composed only of raw talent and ancient veterans”. Whatever competency they showed in their early games is gone now. Everyone is underperforming…
