In his first regular-season matchup against his prep teammate, Marvin Bagley III showed off an array of skills on offense.
Scoring on dunks, layups and jump shots, including just the 13th 3-pointer of his career, Bagley finished with a career-high 32 points Sunday and the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft outplayed the Phoenix Suns’ Deandre Ayton, who went No. 1, during a 117-104 victory at Golden 1 Center.
Bagley shot 10 of 15 overall and made a career-high 11 free throws in 13 attempts.
“He’s getting better at picking and choosing his spots, getting his shoulder down, and it puts the defender in a compromised position,” Kings coach Dave Joerger said.
