The rollercoaster of a relationship between Marvin Bagley III and the Sacramento Kings franchise at large seems to have come to a screeching halt since the firing of Luke Walton on Nov. 21. The addition of Bagley into Sacramento’s lineup in the Alvin Gentry era has been an improvement in measurable moments, both reading the box score and passing the eye test.
In six games under Gentry, Bagley has played meaningful minutes that have contributed to the the Kings’ recent success, as well as his own individual trajectory.
The last three games have been a stellar improvement on both ends of the floor, with Bagley stroking the 3-ball in Wednesday’s victory over the Magic and serving up a double-double in Sacramento’s second consecutive win over the Clippers on Dec.
