That's quite a comparison. Fox and Sabonis. I think we should give him at least one more year for that.
How's Keegan Doing?

Totally agree. Too much hype.That's quite a comparison. Fox and Sabonis. I think we should give him at least one more year for that.

The hype train has left the station....
Totally agree with Luke. The more the players progress, the more will be asked of them.

Interesting that Holmgren is on the team after missing the entire season last year and playing a couple of Summer League games.
Klay and PG went back and forth picking the best shooters in the NBA at each position. PG picked Keegan Murray as his SF. Pretty cool shout out for Keegan.
Good to see Keegan relaxing and having fun. How many divots did Monk have by the tree? I saw at least 3 lol.
I wonder if Kris is a righty for golfWouldn't have it any other way.
It's pretty clear the Kings like what they have in Keegan Murray.
Caught Matt's podcast from earlier today. Sac finally getting some love from the sports media. He also said that Sac had the 3rd toughest schedule in the NBA.
But, maybe that's a good thing.

Hey @NevadaHawk, you ready for another Kings season?
will be interesting (and fun) to see how big of a step both Keegan and the Kings make
After the work with Fox and the experience playing with Team USA, he should be much improved this season. With Sasha and Duarte being in Training Camp, it should be competitive for sure. I think Keegan's spot in the starting rotation is solid. I'm glad Keegan is not traveling with USA. He'll be able to spend more time in the gym, and with his teammates in prep for the start of the season.
Reactivated my League Pass today. Action starts first week of Oct. Gotta be ready.
