Marvin Bagley still has potential</b></p><p>While Bagley’s stint with the Kings hasn’t worked out, he still has the skills to be a great player. He is a lob threat offensively with good rebounding. Bagley is great in the pick and roll and could grow more into a pick-and-pop threat. In his career so far, he has shot <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/baglema01.html">31.4 percent</a> from three, which is below league average.</p><p>If Bagley can improve to around 35 percent from behind the arc, he could become a lethal offensive threat. He also has the potential to improve on the defensive side of the ball.  He doesn’t need to become an elite defensive player like Anthony Davis, but improving his shot-blocking would go a long way.</p><p>With so much potential, Bagley could thrive in a new situation.</p><p><b>2. He can grow with the young core</b></p><p>The Pistons are in the midst of building up their young core. With that said, Bagley would have an excellent opportunity to grow as a player with Detroit. He could be in the starting lineup if they move on from Jerami Grant or could be in a sixth man role.</p><p>As contending teams are interested in acquiring him, Grant has been in trade rumors over the past two seasons. Even if he is not traded, Bagley would be in a great position to become a more impactful player.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">CADE CUNNINGHAM ABSOLUTELY SAUCING SCOTTIE BARNES AND FINISHING AT THE RIM!!!!! <a href="https://t.co/maMgcDPUBp" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/maMgcDPUBp</a></p><p>— Halbridious (@Halbridious) <a href="https://twitter.com/Halbridious/status/1459717640449142784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 14, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p><b>1. Marvin Bagley III fits well alongside Cade Cunningham</b></p><p>The biggest reason the Pistons should make this trade is to acquire a big that fits well alongside Cade Cunningham. Cunningham was taken with the first pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, and they need to build around him. Although Bagley hasn’t lived up to his potential yet, he has put up solid numbers in his career.</p><p>He has averaged <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/baglema01.html">14.4 points</a> per game, along with 7.5 rebounds. These numbers haven’t shown why he was taken with the second pick, but he could grow with Cunningham. Cunningham would reap the benefits of having a pick-and-roll lob threat that can also pick and pop.</p><p>In his rookie campaign, Cunningham has averaged <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/cunnica01.html">11.7 points</a> per game along with 5.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists. He has shot at a low efficiency thus far, but fans should not be concerned. Trading for Bagley would help him improve his playmaking and give him easier looks.</p><p>The Pistons have an exciting road ahead as they try to get their team back to the playoffs. They are heading in the right direction with the rebuild, and acquiring a player like Bagley could be beneficial. He may not be an elite player yet, but he could become an integral part of Detroit’s core in the years to come.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

When he recently liked a tweet suggestion the Kings should trade him elsewhere, it sparked even more dialogue as to where Bagley could end up.</p><p>Bagley has now spoken out on the matter and the liked tweet, defending his stance, <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mb3five/id1571218228?i=1000528042096">via the “Halfway Decent Pod.”</a></p><blockquote>“First of all, it’s my Twitter, bro,” Bagley said. “It’s my Twitter. It has my name on it. I can like whatever I choose and please, and whatever I feel like liking…That just came from frustration,” Bagley said, elaborating on his reasons for liking a tweet that disparaged his team. “I wouldn’t even say frustration, just that built-up fire. I think I did it after watching Trae go for 50 in the playoffs and they’re winning. As a competitor, that just makes me want to get to that and I need to be there.” – Marvin Bagley III via the “Halfway Decent Pod” and the<a href="https://www.sacbee.com/sports/nba/sacramento-kings/article252620283.html"> Sacramento Bee</a>.</blockquote><p>What the Kings opt to do moving forward with the former No. 2 overall pick is yet to be seen but his days in Sacramento could be numbered. Sacramento was reported to have had plenty of conversations during the NBA Trade Deadline this past year involving Bagley, but never found a trade they found to be worthwhile. For now, Bagley remains a member of the Kings.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In the past decade, there have been several clusters of players to enter the league with family ties. Some notable names like the Currys, Holidays and Plumlees are some of the league’s most talented families. More recently, Big Baller Brand patriarch LaVar Ball thrust himself and his family into the basketball spotlight. The ambitious father of Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball has carved a path for his sons through both basketball and entertainment. The Balls even scored their own reality show, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ballinthefamily/" rel="noopener">Ball in the Family.</a> With two of his three sons in the NBA, LaVar has helped lay the foundation for more basketball families to come through the ranks in the modern NBA.</p><p>The next big basketball family to reach these same heights could be the Bagleys. Marvin Bagley III was the second overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, and his two younger brothers could soon follow in his footsteps.</p><p>The oldest of his younger siblings, Marcus Bagley, recently declared for the 2021 NBA Draft after a successful year of college ball at Arizona State. With two brothers in the league as soon as next season, Marvin Bagley Jr. could be on his way to being the next LaVar Ball.</p><p>The Bagleys are also competitive with the Ball family when it comes to drama off the court. LaVar was everywhere on TV and social media early in Lonzo Ball’s career, constantly getting involved in debates about his son’s talents and which team he wanted him to play for.</p><p>Bagley Jr. has proven to have a similar taste for outlandish claims, as his Twitter account has given many Kings fans moments of panic this season. His most notable post on the app caused a great stir within the Kings fandom with a worrying tweet:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Marvin Bagley's dad has requested a trade out of Sacramento for his son. Yikes city. <a href="https://t.co/S8jVnHuqKt" target="_blank">https://t.co/S8jVnHuqKt</a></p><p>— Tony Xypteras (@TonyXypteras) <a href="https://twitter.com/TonyXypteras/status/1345528159576449029?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">January 3, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Although the tweet was quickly deleted, the impact was lasting. Kings fans now keep their eyes peeled during games for any Coach Bagley bombs, even though the young big man isn’t even playing because of an injury. Bagley’s father did not get his wish either, as the young big man stayed put at the trade deadline <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-pistons-turn-down-kings-marvin-bagley-iii-offer/" rel="noopener">despite rumors about a possible move.</a></p><p>Another parallel between the Balls and Bagleys is that one brother is not as close to the league as the other two. For LiAngelo, he joined the Detroit Pistons for training camp before being waived, and it doesn’t seem as if he’s going to get another chance anytime soon. In the case of Martray Bagley, he has yet to hit high school. It seems that the hope of both fathers is to see all three of their sons play in the NBA at the same time, in the same way that the Holiday brothers have.</p><p>Jrue, Aaron and Justin are all NBA vets after successful college careers. They took a much quieter route to the NBA than the aforementioned players, without the flash and drama that surrounds the others. This low-key approach has left the Holiday’s out of the mainstream media’s drama rumors.</p><p>It is clearly not the aim for either the Balls or Bagleys to fly under the radar, for both good and bad. We’ll surely be hearing plenty more from these families as time goes on. </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The franchise seems to be a bust magnet like no other across the league. The Kings have whiffed on a bevy of notable draft selections in past seasons, like taking Thomas Robinson over Damian Lillard in 2012 or picking Georgios Papagiannis No. 13 overall in 2016.</p><p>In 2018, the Kings and former GM Vlade Divac had a chance to make amends and draft an impact player with the second overall pick of the draft. After the Phoenix Suns selected Bahamian big man Deandre Ayton out of Arizona with the first pick, the second player to go off the board seemed clear: Slovenian starlet Luka Doncic from Real Madrid.</p><p>However, Europe’s premier talent stayed in his seat as Adam Silver announced to the world that Sacramento had instead chosen Duke big man Marvin Bagley. Doncic was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks after swapping the fifth pick for the third with the Atlanta Hawks.</p><p>Since entering the league, Bagley and Doncic have had different impacts on their team’s success. Doncic has become the Mavs’ franchise cornerstone, displaying his plethora of offensive gifts to the tune of 21.2 points per game in his rookie campaign, followed up by back to back years with at least 28 a night. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/luka-doncic/b74d0a0c/stats">He also boasts averages of 8.4 rebounds and 7.6 assists across his three years in the league.</a></p><p>Meanwhile, Bagley has struggled to consistently stay on the court for the Kings. After missing 20 games in his first year, the young big appeared just 13 times in the 2019-20 season. This season, he remains plagued by injuries, having played just 37 of the team’s 55 games. <a href="https://www.nba.com/news/marvin-bagley-suffers-broken-left-hand-during-kings-hornets-game">His latest ailment is a broken hand</a>, which has kept him out for over a month. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/marvin-bagley-iii/a46d08ea/stats">Throughout Bagley’s short career, he has averaged 14.5 points and 7.5 rebounds.</a></p><p>Much like in the years prior, the Kings have not been successful since the 2018 draft. The team has posted records of 39-43 and 31-41 in Bagley’s first two seasons, and are sitting at 22-33 so far this season.</p><p>Fans are quick to put down the young player and many want him traded. Sacramento’s GM Monte McNair allegedly offered Bagley to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for rookie forward Saddiq Bey, which Detroit declined. This trade rumor and its fallout showed just how little trade value Bagley really has across the league. As the trade deadline has passed, the third year player is set to stay in town at least till the end of the season.</p><p>It is easy to call Bagley a flop, as he has yet to play through a season free of injuries, has yet to put up spectacular stats and can’t net the trade return that the Kings want for a former second overall pick. But giving up on him and cutting him loose might not be a good option going forward.</p><p>Look no further than Knicks all star power forward Julius Randle. Randle was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2014 with the seventh pick. He was far from an instant success, averaging 13.5 points in his first three seasons after sitting out almost his entire rookie year with a broken leg. The forward began to impress only after joining the New Orleans Pelicans for the 2018-19 season, where he averaged 21.4 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. This season, Randle’s seventh in the association, he is up to 23.3 points and 10.6 boards for the New York Knicks. Randle’s impressive stint in the Big Apple earned him his first all star nod, despite flying under the radar for much of his early career.</p><p>It is unclear whether Bagley could have a similar impact for the Kings as Randle has had for the Knicks, but it is surely worth the wait. Bagley is under contract on his rookie deal for one more season, and he still has a lot to prove in California’s capital.</p><p>The biggest concerns for Sacramento are if Bagley can stay happy and healthy. He has tremendous athletic ability, an effective post game and has shown improvement on both sides of the floor despite his numbers staying similar year to year. As the Lakers found out with Randle, some players just need more time before they show the full breadth of their abilities.</p><p>In retrospect, it’s easy to say that Doncic was the obvious choice and that Bagley should have been out of the picture once the Suns took Ayton. Or that he should have been given up on and traded at the deadline. But that is not the reality. Bagley is a King, and the team and fans need to reconcile with that fact. If the front office and coaching staff can give Bagley the freedom and motivation to keep improving, and his body can stay on his side, there is no telling how far the promising young talent could go.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The former Villanova star is averaging 10.6 points and 4.1 boards while also shooting 38.6 percent from beyond the arc on 5.7 attempts per game. There is no reason to deal him on a rookie contract when the Pistons are still building.</p><p>Meanwhile, Bagley has had a very chaotic tenure in Sacramento. He will also be a restricted free agent in 2022.</p><p>The former No. 2 overall pick’s career has been rife with injury issues. Bagley played just 13 games due to a myriad of injuries last season and is currently out with a fracture in his left hand.

But it remains to be seen whether teams will actively pursue Bagley.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
