The Kings have made two additions to their basketball operations staff, according to James Ham of NBC Sports.
Adam Filippi has joined the team as the Director of Pro Scouting. He most recently served as the Director of Global Scouting with the Hornets, and will be based out of Los Angeles covering the Southeast Region.
Sacramento also hired Anthony Darmiento as the Assistant Performance Coach. Darmiento will work alongside Head Performance & Strength Coach Ramsey Nijem this season, and holds experience in similar roles with USA Volleyball, USA Water Polo and the USA Olympic Committee.
There’s more out of the Pacific division:
- Kings third-year forward Skal Labissiere says he’s more explosive, quicker and faster after bulking up this offseason, as detailed by Noel Harris of The Sacramento Bee.
- Devin Booker has focused on improving his left-hand skills since undergoing surgery, writes Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic. Booker had the procedure in his right hand on September 10. “It’s a time I actually have to use it,” Booker said. “I never expected to actually have to use it.”
- The Lakers envision playing a brand of positionless basketball this season, Joey Ramirez of Lakers.com relays.“We want to be a positionless team,” LeBron James said. “There’s gonna be times when we’re all playing different positions. I think that’s going to be the benefit of our ball club.”
The Lakers will miss the playoffs.
Yea right
Where did LeBron touch you?
If you’re 100% sure let’s make a bet. If the Lakers miss the playoffs then I will delete my account, BUT if they do make the playoffs you have to delete your account and never comment ever again.
I tried that and he refused. He knows he would lose and it would kill him not to be able to vent from the basement.
Bet is on. I’m not looking for anyone’s approval on here on what they think about my opinions in basketball but bet is on. Lakers will miss the playoffs.
The Lakers will kick it in as necessary to make the playoffs, albeit not likely in the top 4. Nobody else will be able to kick as hard! By the end of the season “Moe” will have found a fit at the 5, if they don’t trade for someone. I still think it will be Tristan.
This just made the western conference playoff race much more exciting.
I like your stuff. The Lakers are on ESPN now. I’m watching American Pickers on the History Channel. Some complain about your stuff. At least it’s in English, and we can understand what you are saying. I agree with a lot of your stuff!
You’re almost as bad as him, so… I’m not surprised. Lmao
You’re not wrong. The Suns play in the West Conference. I am watching Chopped on the food network
