The debate over Luka Doncic and Marvin Bagley III will simmer in Sacramento for years to come. Someday maybe we’ll know for sure, but it certainly seemed like the Kings had chosen the right man for the job in a 116-100 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night at Golden 1 Center.
Bagley continued to show a tantalizing blend of power, speed, aggression and grace with eye-popping energy and athleticism. He dominated Doncic in every way in the first head-to-head matchup of their promising young careers, posting 22 points, 12 rebounds and four blocked shots in 28 minutes off the bench.
