Tremendous night for Goodwin. It will be interesting to see how he makes his way into the rotation next year.

For a second I actually thought to myself: "Why are the Morris Twins still in? Do we really want to risk losing them for the..."
Great game for Archie to go into the off-season with. His confidence is high. I hope the young man works a ton on his game and his body this summer. Work on that jumper!

Goodwin had a great game, very efficient and it speaks a lot to his potential. His shot looked better tonight, but I would try to limit the catapult motion he gives just at the end of the shot. It's improved, and this isn't too hard of a thing to fix, it would just eliminate a variable to make it more consistent. I could definitely see Goodwin being part of the rotation next year.

Len didn't look very good. His two jumpshots were both in the same spot, both wide open, yet his shooting form was different for both. He needs to work on this, with the same person to mold it consistently. He has a good foundation, but it needs to be consistent. The other two shots he put up were awful. Bad decisions and bad execution on them. One was a 10 ft hook shot from the short corner, and the other was a bad turnaround against Aaron Gray that he couldn't move that then Gray partially blocks. He needs to get stronger, more consistent, quicker, more confident with his moves, and he needs a lot more playing time. Good thing the summer and the summer league is coming.

One thing to keep in mind is that Len hasn't yet been to summer league or had a full training camp yet due to going though ankle surgery during last off-season - as such, with SL & camp under his belt, I expect him to improve by leaps & bounds this off-season.

I'd settle for him being able to leap OR bound.

Also consider that SL and a full training camp requires him to be healthy, and opens the possibility for him to reinjure or develop a new injury.

I've remained optimistic about Len since he was drafted, but we need to keep his situation in perspective. He's not exactly an iron man.

First off, those Kings announcers could put a meth addict to sleep.

Second, a great new feature of nba.com is that each game you can click on individual stats in the box score and see the video of the play(s). It breaks it all down for you. That's the best thing I've seen since .net was resurrected.

Absolutely. As far as I can tell, you have to go into a particular players profile and then through the game logs. Try this http://stats.nba.com/playerGameLogs.htm ... PerPage=25
