Points of promise and concern three games into the season

The Sacramento Kings have now played three games in the 2021-22 NBA season, and some trends are starting to develop. Davion Mitchell is a terrific on-ball defender & showed offensive flashes against GSW, Harrison Barnes has notably upped his offensive willingness, the rebounding is no longer atrocious, Tyrese Haliburton seems unsure of his role at times, Buddy Hield's fit could be concerning, and more. #MaxwellMondays Learn more about your ad choices.

Immediate Reactions to the Sacramento Kings season opener in Portland

The Sacramento Kings are undefeated in the 2021-22 NBA season and we are joined by Will Griffith to react! The first game of the year is in the books where the Kings nearly blew an 18 point lead to the Portland Trail Blazers in a game where Damian Lillard did not make a single three. Harrison Barnes, on the other hand, converted eight of his attempts from beyond the arc and scored a career-high. De'Aaron Fox was aggressive in attacking, Davion Mitchell played great defense for a rookie debut, Tyrese Haliburton was uhh.... out there, Marvin Bagley was not. Learn more about your ad choices.
