Sacramento Kings rookie Marvin Bagley III has quite the personality. The Kings Twitter page posted a video of Bagley dancing to Will Smith's “Summertime” with the hashtag #SummertimeChallenge. In fact, Bagley says this is a new trend, obviously with the hopes that more will take to social media to post their versions of the #SummertimeChallenge.
Some of these moves are interesting, to say the least. Hopefully, Bagley is a better basketball player than he is a dancer. All jokes aside, it's always nice to see athletes who don't take themselves too seriously.

Maybe that's a testament to the staying power of Will Smith's summer anthem. It's still considered a classic and it may have a bit of a revival if this goes viral.
Bagley hopes to bring as much energy for the Kings on the court as he does off it. The Duke product joins a young squad without much in the way of expectations. He'll have ample opportunity to prove himself on the court. If the No. 2 overall pick can live up to expectations, Sacramento's future will look much brighter.
He gets to play alongside second-year player De'Aaron Fox. The Kings point guard is a dynamic playmaker. Perhaps Bagley and Fox can mesh well together in the pick-and-roll this season.
The new season will bring new challenges for Bagley, but for now, he's enjoying the #SummertimeChallenge.
