CALIPARI WAS STRAIGHT with Adebayo: He would not shoot jumpers or bring the ball up — skills that had blossomed over Adebayo’s high school career. He would set screens, roll hard, play defense. “John didn’t let him do anything,” Riley chuckles. Adebayo worked on other skills after practices and in night sessions with Kenny Payne, a Kentucky assistant. “He wanted to be a guard so badly,” De’Aaron Fox, Adebayo’s teammate at Kentucky, says with a laugh. “He also went to every class — a lot more than I did.”

Sean Cunningham: Kings coaches & players were unable to discuss yesterday’s trade, since it was not yet official at the time we spoke to them this afternoon. Obviously Dewayne Dedmon was absent. Luke Walton and De’Aaron Fox very much happy to see Bogdan Bogdanovic still with the roster.

John Meyer: L2M (last two minute) Report says “Fox (SAC) enters the lane prior to the shot hitting the rim.” Ruling = Incorrect Non-Call *It’s not like we couldn’t see that almost immediately after on replay* But I guess they can’t overturn that which baffles me.
Jason Jones: De’Aaron Fox: “We want to pick our pace up. We’ve talked about it. We’ve practiced doing those types of things. We just have to translate it. (Walton) wants us to pick the pace up. We just have to be able to do that.”
Jason Jones: Fox on the Kings in the standings: “I don’t know how many games we are out of the eighth spot, but I think we’re less than five out so, no, it’s not too late.” Kings are 2 games back of Portland, which is eighth.
Jason Jones: Buddy Hield on playing faster: “It’s on Fox, it’s on everybody, it’s on everybody man. We have to run with Fox. WE have to encourage getting the ball out quick, pushing the tempo with Fox.” Fox said the players have been told to run and it’s practiced and preached, not executed
