Keon Ellis, Neemias Queta, Jordan Ford, Chance Comanche, and Alex O\u2019Connell all spent last season on Stockon\u2019s roster. That\u2019s a significant amount of returning faces mixed in with Colby Jones and Jalen Slawson who heard their names called in the 2023 NBA Draft less than two weeks prior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With similar schemes and staples to their primary roster in place, the Kings looked fluid in game one. Here are three takeaways from their first victory of the California Classic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Putting Keegan Murray in uncomfortable positions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the limited days of training camp leading up to Monday, Coach Loucks explained to the media that Murray\u2019s role in this group was to be a leader on and off the court. He\u2019s the star of their California Classic roster and that will mean running the break himself, initiating the offense, being the one to bail his team out in a pinch, and setting the tone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throwing down a poster dunk less than 30 seconds into the game for his team\u2019s first bucket is one way to do that.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Oh we&#8217;re starting the California Classic with a Keegan Murray poster??? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tXe5Lc3KgN\">pic.twitter.com\/tXe5Lc3KgN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Brenden Nunes (@BrendenNunesNBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrendenNunesNBA\/status\/1676049623310548998?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 4, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIncredible dunk. I\u2019ll give him a C-minus on the staredown,\u201d Coach Loucks said postgame. \u201cJay (Triano) brought up that Lester (Quiones) hit a three and started jawing at him a little bit &#8212; which I love, it gets me going &#8212; and Keegan looked him dead in the face and was like \u2018alright, I\u2019m coming at you,\u2019 and came back down and hit a three on him and then said something to him and I don\u2019t know what he said, I\u2019m gonna ask him tomorrow, but he said something to him. I think that showed &#8212; more than the dunk, more than the 29 points &#8212; just someone coming at him and being like, \u2018Nah, you\u2019re not coming at me. I\u2019m coming at you.\u2019 And I think, for him individually and for us collectively, that\u2019s what we need from him.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Murray tallied 29 points on 8\/17 from the field. Coach Loucks also mentioned that Murray, who had one rebound at halftime, was challenged at the break to contribute on the glass more but failed to get another board in the second half.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was undeniably phenomenal in his 31 minutes, but it\u2019s clear this coaching staff is continuously pushing him to be better and that Murray has embraced that responsibility and challenge. He even sounds more comfortable speaking with the press and is emphasizing being a vocal leader to his teammates.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA lot of it was just talking to guys. Just talking to Colby, talking to all the young guys,\u201d Murray said. \u201cWhat I\u2019m seeing on the court, what they\u2019re not. What they\u2019re seeing, what I\u2019m not. Things like that. Just getting a feel, getting them comfortable in this situation because I was in their shoes last year so I know what it\u2019s like to play in this situation. Just trying to be more vocal, give guys things to think about before the game, after the game, stuff like that. Just trying to use my voice more.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The growth is apparent. Murray took just over one pull-up shot per game in his rookie season, but he got the chance to take a few on Monday. He was able to take the ball up the floor and initiate the offense or even get a post-up look here or there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m just trying to get in uncomfortable situations on the floor,\u201d Murray said postgame. \u201cThat\u2019s kind of my main goal. Just bringing the ball up the court against pressure, handling the ball more, things like that, guarding on the ball. Just trying to get better at that and in-game reps, I feel like, is the best reps. Just trying to figure out how I can get better from that standpoint.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Murray did all of the above at a high level in a setting where it was appropriate for him to do so. Reservations about playing a playoff starter in summer league are somewhat understandable, but these two games in the California Classic are a good opportunity to see Keegan Murray with greater responsibility. His desire to seek uncomfortable situations in search of continued growth and development is extremely encouraging for his future in the league.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&#8220;[Keegan] scored 17-19 straight points [in scrimmage]&#8230; It was almost silent. Everyone could just feel how good he is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Coach Loucks shares a shining moment from scrimmage and compares Keegan&#8217;s current progress to Kawhi Leonard&#8217;s jump in year two. \u2009\u2009\u2009\u2009<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ticketmaster?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Ticketmaster<\/a> |\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pr3WZRwbYq\">pic.twitter.com\/pr3WZRwbYq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sacramento Kings (@SacramentoKings) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SacramentoKings\/status\/1676261898285899776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 4, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Colby Jones\u2019 debut in Golden 1 Center<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After inking a four-year, $8.76-million rookie deal the day prior, Jones played with a Kings logo across his chest for the first time in his career. Coming off the bench, he primarily spent his time playing point guard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Xavier, he split his time with and without the ball on the offensive end but was not exactly what most people would title a point guard who would kickstart the offense most times down the floor. In Monday\u2019s game, Jones played most of his minutes at the point as an initiator.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With three turnovers compared to one assist, his playmaking was underwhelming, but it\u2019s an interesting wrinkle that could hint at how they view him positionally. It also could just be what he needs to do on this summer league roster, but not for Sacramento as there was also a handful of possessions he played alongside starting point guard Jordan Ford.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond trying to gain an understanding of his potential role, his versatility was on display. In 23 minutes of play, he snagged five rebounds, two steals, and contributed 12 points on 5\/11 shooting. Watching him play during college, his touch stood out above anything else and that held true Monday night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"ColbyCalClassicG1Finishing\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/o\/bn7bw0#?secret=io99fJ6Rxe\" data-secret=\"io99fJ6Rxe\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"ColbyCalClassicG1Finishing\" data-secret=\"io99fJ6Rxe\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/o\/bn7bw0#?secret=io99fJ6Rxe\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jones\u2019s shooting from beyond the arc is worth monitoring throughout summer league, considering he shot 37.8 percent from three last year at Xavier, but 29.2 percent the year prior.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Last season\u2019s Two-ways<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ellis and Queta, who both started for Coach Loucks on Monday night, were Sacramento\u2019s two-way contracts last season and are looking to continue to build on what they showed with Stockton.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, both struggled with foul trouble throughout the night. Luckily, considering Ellis logged six while Queta had seven, in summer league you are allowed ten personals before fouling out. While some of them may have been quick whistles, they need to be more disciplined on the defensive end of the floor, especially as players who are expected to make a majority of their impact on that end and be leaders in this setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being physical without fouling remains a defensive staple and the returning guys have to be better in that aspect.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI told the team, our whole kind of motto off the court is connected. We want to stay connected this offseason and I think we\u2019re doing a good job of it, both players and staff,&#8221; Coach Louks said. &#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For us to win at the highest level, we\u2019re gonna have to be connected as an organization, do it together and then on the court, leading into next season, is just physicality. It\u2019s a playoff level of physicality from day one of training camp and really from day one of summer league. We have to play with a level of physicality on both sides of the ball and I think we showed it at times against Golden State in the playoffs and I think we showed it at times tonight in summer league. I still don\u2019t think we\u2019re quite aware of what real physicality means. It doesn\u2019t mean to hold and grab. It means at every moment the opponent can feel you. At every single moment, they can feel your presence and I think at times we tried. At times we just fouled and thought we were playing physical and we\u2019ll continue to work on that and improve but it\u2019s going to be a big emphasis not only for summer league but for us as an organization going forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Queta, who is almost always the biggest player on the court, should often be dominant physically, but he&#8217;s been up and down there since being drafted out of Utah State.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He did end with a solid stat line of 11 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and three blocks outside of his seven fouls. After a lackluster start,&nbsp; Queta turned it around in the second half and displayed some of his defensive potential, playmaking, and touch around the basket.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Queta\u2019s situation is particularly intriguing considering that he is not currently under contract for next season. After the Kings extended the qualifying offer, he has yet to re-sign with the team. He has one additional year of two-way eligibility with Sacramento if both sides elect to go that route, but Domantas Sabonis and Alex Len are the only traditional centers on the roster. Maybe Queta can be the third-string center on the primary roster. Or, maybe Trey Lyles at the five will be common.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second and final day of the California Classic will take place today, July 5th, at Golden 1 Center.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 PM PST: Golden State vs. Charlotte<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 PM PST: San Antonio vs. Los Angeles<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7 PM PST: Sacramento vs. Miami<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Led by Coach Luke Loucks, the 2022-23 summer league Sacramento Kings kicked off the California Classic with a 100-94 win over the Golden State Warriors in Golden 1 Center.
