Former Sacramento Kings coach, general manager and broadcaster Jerry Reynolds joined the Deuce & Mo Show Wednesday to talk about how well Domantas Sabonis has played this season, Mike Brown’s success and more.

Topics discussed include:

  • What’s made this year special for the Sacramento Kings?
  • How Mike Brown’s success in his first year is comparable to former coach Rick Adelman
  • What’s surprised him the most about Domantas Sabonis this season?
  • “His stamina is just amazing. I’ve never seen a big run the floor like he does, constantly play hard on every play.”
  • Why Sabonis sets some of the best screens in the NBA
  • What has he noticed defensively about De’Aaron Fox’s game this season?
  • If the Kings could have expected Keegan Murray to be as good as he’s been, especially in regard to his three-point shooting
  • “In my mind, he’s the second-best rookie in the league. [Paolo] Banchero will get it [the Rookie of the Year award] because of stats and deservedly, he has made Orlando better. But there’s nobody playing or more deserving than Keegan for the runner-up of the Rookie of the Year.”
  • How it felt being honored at the Sacramento Kings game recently
