Nate Kingz Appreciation Thread

[McCuse]

Bumping this thread. He was great tonight. His first half scoring kept us in the game and his defense throughout was fantastic. And I just noticed he had 6 rebounds. Fantastic game.

Held Gillespie to 10 points guarding him on D!

It isn't just about the points; he disrupted their entire offense. They couldn't do anything besides dump it down low because Kingz killed all their timing of their offense. He was very disruptive tonight

He’s such a stout defender. We’re lucky to have him. When he starts knocking down 3s consistently, he’s going to be very hard to guard. He needs to be aggressive and look to drive into the lane, and we need to run more plays to get him open (we run some off-ball screens for him but we need them to be more precise and effective), and the guys need to look to get him the ball as soon as he has any daylight.

True, and Sadiq and Kyle were taking care of business down there too. If the offense can knock down more shots, this team could have something.

This team reminds me a little of St. John’s last year. Very good defensively, but spotty three point shooting. I still believe we will continue to get better from three.

I think they will start falling through the net more often. That will be a tough team if they can do that and keep up that defensive intensity!

He was very aggressive going to the hoop last game. Very positive sign. He's going to heat up from the 3. I have a good feeling about that.
