NBA Roundup: Bagley Rising, Jrue’s Defense, and What to Watch For

Marvin Bagley Rising

After a slow start to the year, Kings big man Marvin Bagley is starting to look like the player he was at Duke. Although still being overshadowed by fellow rookies Luka Doncic and Trae Young, Bagley has played a big part of the Kings’ turnaround this year.

In the ten games he’s played since the All-Star break, he has averaged 19.7 PPG, 9.1 RPG, and 1 BPG with shooting splits of 52.9/40/78.9.

He has accomplished these feats in just 27.3 minutes per game, and much of that production comes from his relentless motor around the rim.
