Social Media on the Sacramento Kings 2nd Summer Loss
By Rafe Wong
The Sacramento Kings fell victim again in the NBA Summer League games last night. This time, it was against the Houston Rockets in which Houston came out on top 85-73.
Again a swarm of Kings fans entered the Thomas & Mack Center to watch their beloved team. There was also Kings enthusiasts that were not in the arena that watched the game as well and gave their analysis on their team’s current state.
Here are some of the reactions/observations that the ARP team was able to gather up in the Sacramento Kings community.
Obasohan is going to be our new Summer League obsession by the time this game ends.

I'm still not sure he's an NBA player but I like David Stockton's game.

Willie Cauley-Stein, offensive creator is off to a dubious start.

Those 2nd rounders the Kings got in that trade last year - not good.

Malachi is on 🔥!

Loved Malachi's explosiveness on offense, but I've been really impressed with his defensive awareness. He uses his physical tools well

Papagiannis has been a 10/10 on the entertainment scale so far. Cracking me up on a regular basis.

Papagiannis "crude inside" according to telecast. I see advanced footwork, incredible size, speed and rebounding from day 1. Needs time.

That Papagiannis backdown sequence was PAINFUL to watch

Dave Joerger doesn't seem too happy with Sacramento's defense right now

One point guard is better than no point guards, but still not enough.
