The Kings did not have many bright spots in the night in Denver Nuggets, but rookie big man Marvin Bagley III was one of them.
The No. 2 overall pick in June's draft scored a high-career game-high – 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting on Tuesday. Seven of those points in the fourth quarter as Denver rested its starters, but Bagley still played a game-high 32 minutes. It was just the second time he crossed the 30-minute threshold in four NBA games.
"Every chance I'm taking that," Bagley told reporters in Denver on Tuesday. "I can not take it for granted" I love it "I love it", "I love it" 't go as hard as I possibly could. … That's just my mindset going into every game. "
That mindset impressed his coach. Dave Joerger said in his postgame that Bagley has responded to the situation.
"He's a talented guy, fun to coach," Joerger said. He's playing – we're down 20, he's out there, he gets it, he loves it, he loves it, he loves it, he loves it. , and I think that's really cool. "
Sacramento is in a few days. Vegas oddsmakers set the Kings' worst in the NBA.
If Bagley will still embrace the opportunity.
