Why Marvin Bagley III should be among Kings players competing on a national stage

Chances are, unless you’re a Kings fan or have NBA League Pass, you probably haven’t seen much of Marvin Bagley III.

National audiences could get a look at the rookie in a showcase event next month.

Bagley, fresh off his first NBA start, should be among the candidates for the Mtn Dew Ice Rising Stars, a game that takes 20 of the NBA’s top rookies and second-year stars and splits them into two teams, one representing the United States and the other comprised of foreign-born players.

“I’d be excited. It would be cool to be able to experience that,” Bagley said about the possibility of being chosen, adding it would also give him a chance to compete with and against players from his AAU days and his time at Duke.
