Twelve years have passed since the last time the Playoffs had the presence of the Sacramento Kings. In fact, Marvin Bagley III was just 8 years old when the Californian team played the last post-season in its history. Something that management wants to end and for this they have made a firm commitment to young people by putting a rising coach like Luke Walton who manages to reverse more than a time of failure.

After an exciting year in which De'Aaron Fox has taken a step forward as the leader that the franchise needed to start a new phase in the Divac project. With 47% of victories and after renewing their confidence in Harrison Barnes as the veteran who brings the experience and points to the Kings, the spotlights focus on a 2020 in which Marvin Bagley III will be the proper name.

We have a lot of talent in Sacramento, "says Bagley in an interview with The Athletic." We have added some good pieces that will help us overcome the wall that has slowed us down for now, "he says. The Kings have reinforced this summer with the firm Trevor Ariza, Richaun Holmes and Cory Joseph, to which the arrival of Luke Walton as head coach is added.

The Walton firm ensures a breakthrough of the Sacramento game system and a boost from the defense as was proven in its stage in the Lakers. "He just told me to be ready," says Bagley about his coach. "It will be exciting. When I train he is sometimes with me and we talk. We communicate a lot, we have dinner together and that kind of thing. It's going to be great. I can't wait to go back to the court and learn from the new coaching staff, what they do , and just have fun, "he says.

"It will be very scary for many NBA teams during the next season," says the young man from Duke. "I'm excited to play with these people, create a chemistry and take it back where we left it," he says for The Athletic.

The first year of the 2018 pick 2 of the 2018 Draft was not as I originally expected. The slow adaptation to the league and a subsequent injury greatly ballasted a player who is called to be decisive in a few years. Now, a year later he looks much more mature and aware of how the competition is. "I will not start the season waiting for anything. It is the most important thing I have learned from my first year. I will just make it clear that I am prepared. No matter how they decide to organize the team. I will be there every day, ready for anything, doing it. better than I can and waiting for them to call me. This is how I approach the season. I think if I do so, the rest will come naturally, "he concludes.

After his first season in the NBA, Marvin Bagley III has averaged 15 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist over 62 games with the Kings.
