Sunday it was revealed that a couple of Sacramento Kings players had positive COVID-19 tests<\/a>. While we are still waiting to hear who those players are, here are some other updates coming out of Kings training camp.<\/p>\n

Hassan Whiteside injury<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hassan Whiteside is day-to-day with a mild strain in his right calf. Head coach Luke Walton said we likely won’t see him in the first pre-season game, but Whiteside is participating in camp, getting shots up and doing things in the weight room.<\/p>\n

Jabari Parker is getting noticed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walton said Jabari Parker is in shape and looks good. De’Aaron Fox said that Parker is making the right passes, hitting threes, finishing in traffic and in general looks like he put in a lot of work this offseason, while Richaun Holmes said Parker has \u0080\u009cgot his mind right,\u0080\u009d and praised him for his scoring, facilitating and being in great shape. (Apparently, he’s flying up and down the court.)<\/p>\n

First impressions of Tyrese Haliburton <\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is what Walton said about Kings rookie Tyrese Haliburton:<\/p>\n

\u0080\u009cI’ve been very pleased, impressed with his knowledge, how he sees the game, what he’s looking to do. We’re encouraging him to be as aggressive as possible. It’s nice right now with some of the scrimmages we’re able to play him and Cory [Joseph] together and Cory is a great vet mentoring, showing, talking, helping lead teams. He’s been impressive the first two days and I think one of the things that we heard about him is that everyone on the team loves playing with him already and it’s only been two days worth of scrimmages. So he’s got one of those personalities and styles of game that attract people to want to play with him. But like most young players he’s got a lot of work to do and he knows that, but he’s constantly asking questions and wants to put in that work and wants to get better.\u0080\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Holmes said Haliburton has done a great job pushing the ball and controlling the pace.<\/p>\n

De’Aaron Fox trying to step into more of a leadership role<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walton praised De’Aaron Fox’s leadership: \u0080\u009cWe’re only two days in right now, but I do respect the way he’s going about that. Whether it’s bringing huddles in, whether it’s getting players in their positions before getting into to set. The things he’s talking about as far accountability and holding each other accountable on the court.\u0080\u009d<\/p>\n

Holmes said that last year Fox was leading by example and this year he has made it a point to make his voice heard by making it known that he is stepping into that role.<\/p>\n

Fox said Sunday that he knows being a vocal leader is the next step for his development.<\/p>\n

Changes to defense<\/strong><\/p>\n

There could be some changes to the defensive schemes. Walton said, \u0080\u009cYou’ll see some more switching this year than we did last year, you’ll see a little bit different on the pick-and-roll coverage.\u0080\u009d<\/p>\n

Fox said that the way the team is switching, guarding off-ball and the way they guard pin-downs is a little different so far in camp.<\/p>\n

Robert Woodard is jacked <\/strong><\/p>\n

Walton discussed the strength that Kings rookie Robert Woodard has shown: \u0080\u009cHe’s a strong young man. One of the competitions, slash baseline, we try to get on the players is in the weight room and as a rookie he won the bench press version of it. In a grown-man league coming out of college you don’t normally see that.\u0080\u009d<\/p>\n

Holmes said Woodard has \u0080\u009cbeen everywhere,\u0080\u009d and has \u0080\u009cbeen a great athlete.\u0080\u009d<\/p>\n

The main theme coming out of camp so far is pace with pretty much everyone who has been interviewed so far saying it is a main focus. We’ll continue to keep you updated throughout the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
