Kings Weekly Podcast: Western Conference Preview: www.basketballintelligence.net/p/western-co... #NBA #NBAWesternConference #NBASeasonPreview @kingsweeklypodcast.bsky.social @basketballpoetry.com

🚨ALSO up on YOUTUBE🚨 Sacramento Kings rookie Nique Clifford showcased his two-way versatility at Summer League and looks to be an exciting piece for Kings fans moving forward. 📺 youtu.be/j_hxA0keQrY?...

Kings improve to 2-0 in Las Vegas with a 109-92 win over the Bulls. Devin Carter stuffed the stat sheet with 30/8/3/3, Nique Clifford had 19/12/4, Maxime Raynaud had another impressive showing, and the defense was excellent outside of a 38-point Chicago blitz in Q2.

Kings still up over Chicago at halftime, 56-52, but this second quarter was a different story from the first five quarters of Summer League for Sacramento. The defense was not there, especially on the glass; Noa Essengue and Lachlan Olbrich mauled the frontcourt for the Kings in Q2.

Kings up big, 32-14, at the end of Q1. Devin Carter has been night-and-day compared to the first game; he has 13 points on 4-4 from the field and 3-3 from deep, along with a couple of steals. Isaiah Stevens came in and hit a couple of threes, and the team defense was awesome once again.

Yeah, this is a different Devin Carter today--eight quick points already from him

Here in Cox Pavilion for the second game of Summer League for the Sacramento Kings! Excited to see Raynaud and Clifford show out again; hopefully a bounce-back game for Devin Carter as well.

Kings win their Summer League opener against Orlando, 84-81. Maxime Raynaud had a sensational first half, Nique Clifford and Isaac Jones had great second half performances, Mason Jones was chaos incarnate (in a good way), and the team defense was outstanding all game.

Kings lead the Magic 42-33 at halftime--the offense has been up and down, but the defense has been fantastic across the board. Maxime Raynaud was amazing and was certainly the main story, but Devin Carter also showed some encouraging signs with the ball in his hands in the second quarter

End of Q1 here in Kings-Magic; Maxime Raynaud has been sensational on both ends. Nique Clifford and Devin Carter have shown some defensive flashes, and the team as a whole has been MUCH more locked in defensively than you expect to see in Summer League.

Six quick points for Raynaud; he's looked awesome early

We (@rayrayl.bsky.social and @nbajohnson.bsky.social) are here and about 20 feet from Maxime Raynaud! Almost game time.

The Summer League warm-up act might have started already, but everyone knows that the main show starts at 4:30 in Cox Pavilion when the Kings take on the Magic. @rayrayl.bsky.social and @nbajohnson.bsky.social will be there in person for Nique Clifford, Devin Carter, Maxime Raynaud, and friends!
