He is practicing with the team but because of his obligation to the national team he has to pass....hehe, get it, pass?  Anyway, I'm more worried about how that jumpshot is coming along more than anything.  I'm sure we are going to see a straight STUD playing on our Kings team in the preseason.  His support group is phenomenal, there is no way that they are going to let him embarass himself with that jumper again. 

On a different note, yes I'm recording all of the games.  I can't wait to see what D Cuz can do against better competition.  My feeling is he will rise to the challenge, with the stricter rules on fouling and the spacing of the court in the NBA I think it will help his game translate greatly.  It is going to be very nice being able to dump the ball in the post to him on one side and let him go to work.  I think that him and JT will complement each other greatly with JT's ability to grab offensive rebounds and step away from the hoop to knock down J's when Cuz gets doubled in the post. 

I predict block parties bor this team next year.  I predict the Kings will give the Lakers fits to the point where Phil Jackson will wish he had retired sooner.  My vision is the Kings making the playoffs and knocking the Lakers out with some good old fashioned bruising brutality.  It's my pipe dream but don't get upset if it actually happens.  This team is built for the playoffs.

I am going to a few games. Love having vegas hours away.
