Marvin Bagley 2018-19 Player Outlook
6 years agoSacramento Kings rookie power forward Marvin Bagley enters the year with surrounding praise as one of the top rookie prospects and reigning ACC Player of the Year. Bagley dominated as a freshman at Duke University, averaging 21.0 points on 61.4 percent shooting with 11.1 rebounds per game. However, there are some concerns with Bagley’s translation to the big stage. Bagley’s lack of peripheral stats is rather discouraging for fantasy purposes and he played rather poorly during the summer league, averaging just 10.3 points on 33.3 percent shooting with 5.8 rebounds per game. Although summer league performances don’t always make or break a player’s NBA career, Bagley did not look comfortable in Sacramento’s offense and his rankings has suffered. Owners should expect some growing pains from Bagley to start the season.
