One other big Hoop Summit takeaway: Khaman Maluach is a bit of a project still. Looks the part more than any big I can remember since Deandre Ayton. Immense length/size. But it’s going to take some time, particularly with the hands as he adjusts to speed of the game increasing – 12:55 AM

Kings hold the shorthanded Trail Blazers to 37 points in the first half, that equals the lowest point total in a half this season for a Sacramento opponent. The second half in Brooklyn (2nd half – 4/7/24) is the other low for a half this season. – 4:33 PM

After shooting 55% from 3 against the Kings, the New Orleans Pelicans are 4/14 (28%) from deep so far against the Lakers. – 4:17 PM

The Blazers, by the way, are doing everything they can to help the Kings out: They’re ONE-OF-TWENTY ONE from three-point range so far midway through the second (Dalano Banton is 0-for-7)…. – 4:16 PM
Paul Garcia
@PaulGarciaNBA
Still plenty of time, but right now the Spurs have built a 17-point lead against Detroit.
Elsewhere, the Blazers are down 20 to Sacramento.
Should the Spurs hold on and Blazers fall, the Spurs will have the 5th worst record going into the lottery.
POR will tie CHA for 3rd – 4:14 PM

Here in Sacramento, where the Kings need to take care of Portland to keep their hopes of getting the eighth seed alive, there’s an entertaining subplot: The Murray twins, both of whom have increased responsibilities these days, facing off. Fun stuff.
All that and MUCH more in… – 4:13 PM

I stand corrected: Ties are broken this way for non-lottery draft order. Ties in the lottery mean the odds are split. If they finish with the same record, the Blazers, Spurs and Hornets will all have the same odds at a top-4 pick. – 3:07 PM
