The Sacramento Kings are going to the summer league championship game. Isaac Jones take a bow. 36 points in the playoffs. I guess we can call him playoffs Isaac.

I have the privilege of being your host here. I’m a Sacramento sports anchor and reporter for ABC10 News. And I don’t care about the context. It’s just fun to say that the Sacramento Kings are going to the championship game. Summer league. The Kings have won the summer league title two times. They’re one of two franchises who have ever won the summer league title multiple times. It’s the Kings and the Portland Trailblazers. And if the Kings win tomorrow night, they will be the only team with three summer league rings. The seeding system for the the summer league is based off of record and then point differential. The Toronto Raptors were the number one seed because not only did they go 4 and 0 during the regular summer league season, I guess you could call it, they blew out their opponents pretty consistently. And when we saw them pick up the defensive intensity, especially full court and on the perimeter, you can see why the Raptors have had so much success this summer. But man, these Sacramento Kings, I think the deepest team in the summer league, they showed that off because while the guys who have been successful all summer league long, mainly Nick Clifford did struggle in this game. You have Isaac Jones who has had a really solid summer league to this point, but he explodes. He steps up. He looks like the secondyear NBA player, the veteran of this summer league roster that the Kings needed to lean on when this game got messy. Isaac Jones was phenomenal from start to finish in this game, but really helped the Kings put this game away in the fourth quarter when it looked like they were going to completely lose it and fall apart. 36 points, 13 of 17 from the field, nine of 11 from the free throw line, and also six rebounds. There’s a spot on the floor known as the dunker spot. There’s there’s typically two of them, although I guess you could say three. It’s essentially around that restricted area circle, a little bit beyond that. We’re talking the edge of the paint to slightly outside the paint. And typically the main dunker spots are at the angle, not straight onto the basket, but out at the angle. And and the the theory or or the the the the term is like if you get the ball to someone in the dunker spot, they don’t have to waste any time. They just rise up and throw it down. That dunker spot is Isaac Jones territory. That is where that man lives. He has lived there all summer league long. and there was not a player on either team that was going to get him off of that spot. Now, Isaac Jones has also been working on his three-point shot, mainly that corner three, and I do believe he hit a corner three in this game, but Isaac Jones lives at that dunker spot around that rim. The Kings have done a really good job all summer league finding him in that spot. And as good and physical as the Raptors defense was, and it affected a lot of Sacramento Kings players in this game, they could not get Isaac Jones off that spot. They couldn’t do it. They could not move that man. When he got to that spot, all the ball had to do was find him. And it was going up. It was going in. They They tried to foul him. That didn’t work. The amount of physical and ones and three-point plays that Isaac Jones converted in this game was phenomenal. In fact, we’re going to break it down here in a second, but there was an and one that essentially ended the Raptors comeback hopes late in the fourth quarter. But I I I I had some highlights that I had posted of of Isaac on Twitter and I posted his amazing statline from this game on Twitter and there was a comment from a Kings fan that intrigued me. The comment was, “Isaac Jones can be the Sacramento Kings as Aaron Gordon.” Now, I’m not saying that Isaac Jones is as good of a player as Aaron Gordon is. Darren Gordon, a championship player, one of the best players on that Denver Nuggets team. Isaac Jones is a two-way player that was converted to a main roster spot just last year because he was so important and the Kings needed him for beyond that 50game uh maximum to the two-way contract. But the type of player that Aaron Gordon is and the type of player that he was specifically and has been specifically for Denver is kind of the type of player that Isaac Jones wants to be and is looking to be and was during this summer league for the Kings. Now, if Jones could develop his corner three-point shot to up to the level of Aaron Gordon, then now we’re talking the gap between the two players isn’t as big as I’m suggesting here. The three-point shot for Isaac Jones needs a lot of work. But can Isaac be that when he’s on the floor, he’s that enforcer. He plays physical down low on both ends of the floor and he is going to aggressively look to attack the rim, especially when he can get to that dunker spot. I could see it as a role for Isaac to play in Sacramento in the limited time that he’s going to be on the floor. And I say limited because as good as Isaac Jones has been, I don’t know if he’s going to be a guy to crack the rotation right away consistently. I think he’s a guy that Doug Christie can always point to and go to and have on his bench that is valuable for a coach to have. But unless the Sacramento Kings are one either planning on playing small with a nineman rotation or two planning on having a 10-man rotation, as of now, I don’t see how Isaac Jones will be a nightly contributor to the Kings at this point. Not saying he’s not capable of being that. I’m just assessing that based off of the construction of the Kings roster going into training camp. But when he’s on the floor, Isaac Jones is valuable. He’s proven that value going back to last season. But down the stretch, the Sacramento Kings as a whole rided the ship at just at the right uh at just the right time, right? They were up big a couple of times in this game. They had a double- digit lead early on, led by over 20 points in the second half after a dominant third quarter and looked like, okay, they were not necessarily going to cruise, but they were well on their way to punching their ticket. Credit to the Toronto Raptors, man. They fought hard. They were scrappy. Their fullcourt pressure was brilliant. And that fullcourt pressure is something that Doug Christiey’s a big fan of. I remember working with Doug in radio at Sacktown Sports 1140 and and Doug talked about the value of fullcourt pressure and how if things aren’t going your way, if you’re on the wrong side of a run, if you just need to spark some energy, picking up the pressure full court, even if it doesn’t result in a lot of steals and turnovers, but just making life more difficult for the ball handlers, letting the point guard know he’s going to have to work just to get the ball across the the midcourt line. Like that was Doug Chrissy used to talk about that all the time. So, I imagine a lot of what the Toronto Raptors did in their fullcourt press is something that Doug Christie would like to implement implement for the main team next season. But the Kings were crumbling, like completely falling apart. They were turning the ball over left and right. They couldn’t get anything going. Their guards were getting absolutely harassed on the perimeter uh the perimeter and Sacramento couldn’t do anything about it. The Raptors hit a three and cut the Kings lead down to one. It was 81 to 80, I believe, was the score. And the Kings go back down the other way. Nick Clifford has the ball on the perimeter once again getting harassed. Swings the ball over to Maxim Reo in the corner. Max pump fakes, then drives, attacks the basket. Strong two-handed jam to get some of the momentum back on the side of the Kings. He had another floater in the lane uh like a minute or two earlier than that that also I wouldn’t say stop but at least put a dent into the Raptors run. But Maxim a really really good pump fake on the perimeter gets his defender up in the air attacks the basket. Big dunk to kind of stop the bleeding. Kings go down the other end of the floor. They get a defensive stop back down on offense. Nick Clifford again, ball in his hands now working on the the near side of the basket towards the corner, a near side on the camera side if we’re watching on television. And he attacks, is looking for space, gets cut off, finds Isaac Jones around that dunker spot, and Isaac attacks the basket, is fouled. Big and one three-point play opportunity. The Raptors never recovered from that point. Again, the Kings had their lead cut down 81 to 80. Just a one-point lead. They finished the game on that from that point on a 17-8 run to close this one out. It’s good to see the Kings handle pressure in that way. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Nick Clifford, who did struggle in this game, we’ll talk about Nick struggles, Maxim struggles, Devin Carter struggles. That’s all coming in the next segment. But the two big plays down the stretch to help the Kings put that Raptors run to an end, regain control. What I liked after that Isaac Jones and one is he did this hand motion. I don’t know if it was to his teammates or to the crowd or to the Raptors or whoever, but just this calm down, calm down. I got this. Settle down. But Nick was the one that at least initiated those plays. Not going to try and give him more credit than he deserves, but the ball ran through him. He found Maxim for the big pump fake dunk. Found Isaac Jones for the and one. I like that the ball was moving through Nick Clifford there down the stretch. But like I said, we got to talk about Nick’s struggles. We’ll talk about the struggles of Devin Carter, Maxim Reo. I also want to talk about the two-way contract spot for the Sacramento Kings and how much success they’ve had at that spot. That’s all still coming here on Locked on Kings. Like I said at the top of the show, today’s episode of the Locked on Kings podcast is brought to you by Game Time. We’ve all been there.

Last minute tickets, lowest price guaranteed. The Kings got the win 98.88. They’re going to the summer league championship. But there were some individual struggles in this game, primarily from their guards. And the first person that everybody’s going to look to is Devin Carter. Devin in this game, eight points, three of 10 from the field, 0 of six from three-point range, six assists, two steals, two turnovers. This was not a good game for Devin Carter. Make no mistake about it. It was a bad scoring game for Devin Carter. But I make sure to put that emphasis on scoring because just because you’re not scoring doesn’t mean you didn’t have a good or at least impactful offensive game because I saw a lot of people talking about Carter on social media. Oh man, terrible game. Carter can’t handle the point guard position. He was awful all game long. I disagree. Devin Carter had six assists in this game. A couple of them really, really nice assists. Whether he was looking up in transition, he found Isaac Jones at the dunker spot a couple of times. had a really nice dime to Isaac Jones in the fourth quarter. Um I I felt that Devin Carter, despite struggling so mightily offensively or scoring wise, struggling so mightily to hit a three, he missed a lot of wide open threes, missed a lot of free throws, too. I thought he still managed to positively impact the game by those six assists. He didn’t He turned the ball over twice. People were making it out to be like he turned the ball over four or five times. He didn’t. Now, one of his turnovers at the end of the game came like it’s just it’s just one of those turnovers that can’t happen where he was trying to attack. The Raptors were harassing him on the ball and he just threw the ball out of bounds essentially. I don’t know what he was doing. It was a bad turnover and he’ll be the first one to say it was a bad turnover. But I don’t I don’t like any narrative that’s painting out Devin Carter’s game to be bad and useless and he shouldn’t have been on the floor and and he didn’t he had a bad scoring game so he didn’t impact this win at that’s just not true defensively. He also had some good moments as well. He also had a really strong take going coast to coast kind of showing off the the the strength and I also think there was a lot of frustration with it of going coast to coast to end the first half with a with a bucket there. Again, I’m not trying to put lipstick on a pig. I’m not trying to sell you on a used broken down car. Devin Carter did not have a good game and all summer league long Devin has struggled when the on ball pressure has picked up. So, here is the here is the difference in my mind, right? Here is where I can acknowledge one thing while also um acknowledging the other. Like I said, I thought Devin Carter had some solid moments in this game and did contribute positively to the Kings ultimately winning this game. My concern with Devin Carter from this game is not that he had a bad shooting performance because if if Devin Carter is hitting threes, that’s great, but I don’t expect that to be his role with the Kings by any means. Being a scoring guard off the bench is not going to be what Devin Carter does at the NBA level, at least here in Sacramento. The role that he is trying to handle is a backup point guard position. That is his route to a rotational spot in Sacramento, at least right now. And he didn’t do a lot in a very meaningful game against a lot of ball pressure down the stretch in a close game to build the confidence that he can handle that position. Now, at the NBA level, the defense is going to be better. Maybe not as intense for 40 minutes as the Raptors were playing, but if the game is closed in a meaningful game, whoever is guarding the ball is going to play with a little more intensity. It’s not like just five James Harden’s out there just ball watching. The defense is going to be better. The athleticism is going to be better at the NBA level. Now, Devin Carter is probably not going to be on the floor running the point at the end of a game because he’s the backup point guard, not the starting point guard. But, God forbid something happens to Dennis Shruder or Dennis Shruder and Malik Monker in foul trouble. That did not give me, and I’m sure it didn’t give Scott Perry a whole lot of confidence in his ability to hold down the offensive side of that position. Like Perry said in an interview like game three of Summerlake, he knows that Deon, he believes that Devin can hold down the position from a defensive standpoint, but offensively, can he handle that those big moments as that primary initiator? And there were a lot of times where the ball was handed off to Nick Clifford. There were a lot of times when the ball was handed off to Isaiah Stevens down the stretch in a couple of these summer league games. So we can acknowledge that and the Kings are of course paying attention to that. But we don’t have to make a mountain out of a molehill. We don’t have to go to a level of extreme of Devin Carter’s awful at basketball. He’s not an NBA player. I saw some of that. I just think that’s silly overreaction. And you’re certainly not going to hear me saying that here on Locked on Kings. Nick Clifford had his worst game by far so far in summer league. Now, the biggest difference between these games and earlier summer league, other than the fact that this is playoffs and they’re playing for something at this point, the foul situation in regular summer league, you have, I think, 10 fouls that you can have before you foul out of the game. So, you can play kind of free. It gets scrappy. fouls are going to happen, whatever. Foul getting in foul trouble with 10 fouls isn’t really a thing. But once they get to the playoffs, the semi-finals in the championship game, they go basically to NBA rules. You have six fouls. And Nick Clifford got into foul trouble early on. He opened up the game. I think he scored like the second basket of the game for the Kings. A really nice baseline jumper. So it looked like, okay, here comes Nick. He’s going to get involved. I thought the Raptors defensively did a fantastic job playing him physically and not giving him a lot of space. Nick got into foul trouble on both the offensive and defensive end. Picked up three fouls very quickly in this game. Had to sit a lot of the first half. Picked up his fourth foul pretty early on in the third quarter. Had to sit dur a decent chunk of the third quarter. Nate Clifford couldn’t really get a rhythm in this game because of the foul trouble. He finished with seven points, three of eight shooting from the field. Did fill up the stat column in other ways though, which is what we love about Nick. Five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block. But again, I want to make sure we emphasize that those moments that I laid out, those two big buckets in the fourth quarter that helped effectively end the Raptors run and put the Kings back on top and allow them to close this game out. Both those plays began with Nick Clifford controlling the basketball and setting up his teammates. That to me is encouraging. It doesn’t forgive the struggles that he had, but that is encouraging from the rookie. Then there’s Maxim Reno who also struggled in this game at times. 12 points, six of 12 from the field, seven rebounds, one assist. I’m not the biggest fan of plus minus, but I think this is worth acknowledging. Not to overreact to, but just something that caught my attention. Of all the Kings starters, Maxim Reno was the only one with a negative plus minus, meaning when he was on the floor, ultimately the Kings were outscored. It was only like minus4 or something like that. So, it wasn’t egregious or anything. But I did think it was interesting that down the stretch as this game got physical and the physicality kept picking up, the Kings elected to play Isaac Jones at the center position over Maxim Reno at times or offensively they would have Maxim Reno on the perimeter and Isaac Jones down low. Now, thankfully, Maxim Reno is a 7 foot one player that can shoot the basketball. I thought all game long his movement on the perimeter was really solid. He does a great job of finding the open space and keeping that spacing so that guys like Isaac Jones can live at that dunker spot and not get harassed and double or triple teamed every time the Kings look to get him the ball down there. Right. And what that made me think of is, okay, take Isaac Jones out. Put Deamontto Sabonis in. In theory, it works. In theory, okay, Deonte Sabonis is the guy that’s down there on the block or in the high post that’s pushing and shoving and fighting. not necessarily looking to score as much as Isaac Jones was looking to score in this game, but Maxim Reno can work because he’s able to space the floor. And if Isaac Jones wasn’t seeing or was seeing some double teams at the end of this game, imagine, of course, the attention that Demand Sabonis gets when he tries to score, gets position down on the low post or around the rim. Teams collapse on him. Maxim Reno is going to be able to get those looks. And I’m not talking about long stretches of Maxim and Domas playing together. I don’t think that’s going to happen. But I can see at the NBA level stretch minutes where the Kings need to go bigger and need to make sure their rebounding is on par or whatever that Sabonis and Reo can share the floor together and offensively the spacing is there and it’s a lot more effective than when Sabonis and Valenunis tried to share the floor. The reason why the Kings didn’t really go to that too often too often is it just gets clogged, right? And you almost have to play Sabonis on the outside because he’s more of the three-point threat than Valenunis is. You don’t have to worry about that with Maxim Reno. But in this game, as the physicality ratcheted up, the Kings went further away from Maxim. It just speaks to he needs to work on that physicality. He needs to work on that strength. But I thought he was still fine. Wasn’t like a horrible game by any means. It wasn’t even a bad game for Maxim right now. I just thought we learned a little bit about if the game is going this way, Maxim is is is taken out of it a little bit more. But getting back to the positives, I want to talk about Isaiah Stevens. I also want to talk about the Sacramento Kings being one of the best developmental organizations in the league. We’ll discuss in just a second.

If you look at the history of the Sacramento Kings in the lottery and drafting talent in the lottery, it’s not great, right? It’s not just that the Kings have gotten a lot of picks wrong and picked players that or didn’t pick players that went on to become stars like Dame Lillard, Steph Curry, CJ McCollum. That’s just a few. It’s more the amount of Kings draft picks, lottery picks that didn’t even make it to a second contract that haunted the Kings organization for a very long time, for a majority of the playoff drought. So during that period, I don’t think anybody would even remotely consider saying that the Sacramento Kings were a good team and certainly not one of the best at developing talent. But since the implementation of the two-way contract in the NBA, which is now, I think five, six years old, and last year it was the first year that it went to three two-way spots instead of two two-way spots. I would argue that there hasn’t been a team in the league that has done better developing talent with their two-way spots than the Sacramento Kings. The amount of success stories from that two-way spot in Sacramento is incredible. from Keon Ellis being the most obvious one to Namas Kada while it didn’t necessarily happen here in Sacramento, he went on to become a champion and a contributor for the Boston Celtics. Then we could talk about Isaac Jones having his contract converted uh to a a a full contract last year, right? The Kings have had a lot of success at that two-way spot. If you get a two-way roster spot in Sacramento, it’s a there’s a very good chance that you will get NBA caliber opportunity. It’s a realistic path to the NBA to someone who might not be there yet when they are drafted or when they first enter the league. Sacramento has proven that, I think, more than any other franchise. And they’ve hit home runs with those two-way contracts, right? And again, if you don’t understand what a two-way contract is, essentially it allows the Kings to sign fringe NBA/GLeague players, give them these spots that are essentially developmental spots. They can jump between the G- League and the NBA freely, but there is a cap with the two-way contract of how much the NBA club can use those players. They are allowed 50 games in uh to suit up for the Sacramento Kings. They’re they’re allowed to be available for 50 games before their contracts need to be converted to a full contract. And if they want to play in the postseason in any form, whether it’s the playin or the actual playoffs, they have to be converted to main contracts. But that doesn’t mean playing in 50 games. If you’re suited up and available to play, meaning if you’re one of the 13 or 14 or whatever it is active players that the coach can go to at any time, that counts even if the coach doesn’t go to you. And that’s what happens most of the time for these two-way players. But it allows for guys to essentially spend the entire season in practice working with the main club, developing with the main club, getting spot minute opportunities, and hopefully they make the most out of them to where they can become stories like Keon and like Isaac Jones. They’re important spots that the players who get them don’t want to waste, and the organizations don’t want to waste them either. And here are the Sacramento Kings, I think, once again using their spots in a fantastic way. Isaiah Stevens has been really, really good. Had another really good game. Six points, two of four shooting from three-point range, six rebounds, seven assists. Right. He split a lot of the point guard responsibilities with Devin Carter. Helped alleviate some of that pressure of Devin Carter at that spot. Now, you could use that as an argument against Devin that he needed a a two-way guy to take some of that pressure off of him, and I understand that completely. But Isaiah Stevens had some phenomenal passes in this game. Hit some really big threes for the Kings throughout the course of the game. Got the start in place of Mason Jones, who made his return from injury, and Mason had, I think, 12 points or something like that off the bench. So, it was good to have the G-League Finals MVP back. But Isaiah Stevens looks really, really good. of course, Colorado State teammate or former Colorado State teammate of Nick Clifford. So, that that’s fun. I’m looking forward to seeing Isaiah Stevens um together or or or as part of the Kings roster and what that can be and what that can look like uh as a two-way guy over the course of this season. So, now we turn our attention to tomorrow, 7 o’clock, prime time from Las Vegas Summer League. The final game of Las Vegas Summer League 2025. The Sacramento Kings will face, as of now, I think it’s the Charlotte Hornets. The The game is still going on while I’m recording this. And the Charlotte Hornets were up big last time I checked. So, it looked like it’s going to be Kings and Hornets. Either be the Kings and Hornets or Kings and Thunder, but most likely Kings and Hornets for the GLeague Championship. Again, the Kings going for their third G or excuse me, not G-League, summer league championship. The Kings going for their third summer league title, which would be the most of any NBA team. And how cool would that be winning the summer league title on the backs of winning the G-League championship with the Stockton Kings just goes to show the developmental system in Sacramento is doing pretty well. We just got to get that success up to the main club and the Sacramento Kings who have only made the actual playoffs one time in the last 18 almost 19 years. But baby steps. Who wants to win the NBA championship when you can be a threetime summer league champion? Looking forward to watching that game, win or lose. I will have a breakdown for you just like this one on the Locked On podcast. So I will see you then. My name is Matt George. You have been listening to the Locked On podcast, part of the Locked On podcast network.

Matt George reacts to the Sacramento Kings’ Summer League semifinals victory, Isaac Jones’ huge game, plus the good and bad from Nique Clifford & Devin Carter.

  1. IJ was a beast! Clearly needs to get more minutes this season. He can be a difference maker for us.

  2. I’m not a big Devin Carter fan however I must say taking a kid who went through what he did last year then ask him to change style of play and learn a different position is hard. I have actually seen growth in him, small but there. I think with time and confidence he has the possibility of becoming a solid 2 way bench player. I think we have to wait until the end of this year to truly judge him and his future.

  3. My starting 5 and bench … Schruder,Zach ,nique,Keegan and domo…….Ellis,damar,Issac ,max and whoever

  4. With Devin Carter on the court the Kings have been winning by double digits this entire summer league and he's played the majority of the Game in every one of them.

    He's been a double digit + in the +/- this entire summer league.

    He's easy to hate on for whatever reason but he Is absolutely a winning basketball player that's only going to get better and better as the season progresses considering He missed most of last season. He has winning intangibles.

    I honest to God think as the season progresse Carter's minutes will increase.

    Fans might dislike Him now but if the Kings play winning basketball with Him on the court He will win them over.

    Carter is raw. He's only going to get better and better. He's fearless and believes in Himself. That'll take You a LONG way in this league.
