As a Hawkeye, following Keegan Murray, it was so much fun watching the Kings this year–such an easy team to fall in love with!
Thank you to Kings fans for letting us Iowa Hawkeye fans share the ride this season. Keegan makes us proud as a player and person. I’m glad he’s a King.
I think drafting keegans brother, bring over vezenkov, add a brooke lopez type of 5 that is a legit 3 point threat to space floor and contest at rim, keep barnes and lyles for the right price, and we gonna be a legitimate threat next year.
Keegan mannerism is like tim Duncan . Love it
Keegan was a complete stud this year 🎉. Hes destined for great things for sure 💯 🎉
I've noticed a lot of the Iowa Hawkeye fans have followed us well. Pretty cool to see an entire fan base ride with Sacramento. Other fanbases from other top draft picks haven't been as loyal. Very cool.
What do you think about Zach Edey
Matt you’re my favorite Kings commentator!
I really have a feeling he can be the Tim Duncan for our team. Like the Spurs, we already have established stars, although the Spurs had one in David Robinson, we have two in Fox and Sabonis. He has had an immediate impact on the team from the get go, and has helped us go to the Playoffs; just like the great Tim Duncan. We didn't get into the second round like the Spurs, but they had the advantage of being an established and well connected team basketball wise and chemistry wise. I believe we can get to that point too.
Like Coach McCaffery said, Keegan has great potential and is good at putting his back to the basket and scoring inside. He clearly has the touch to shoot the ball well as the best rookie 3-point shooter of all time as of now. And we've seen his potential as a post and inside scorer; if he can keep his 3-point shooting at an elite level while improving on his inside scoring through post moves and paint/midrange shooting, which he said he'll work on with Domas in the offseason who has great footwork and inside skill, I really think he can be a smaller, quicker, and slightly more athletic version of the young Tim Duncan. And with him having the quiet, yet confident mindset with the competitive fire to always win just like Tim, the sky is the limit for Keegan. And if history rhymes with Keegan's case, there's a chance that next year we'll be able to get to the Finals just like the Spurs did and win the Larry O'Brien gold, with Keegan Murray as a key contributor! #KingsUpNext 💜🦁👑🏀🔥
