Let's gooooooo!!!
Can't wait to listen to this one!
Off night!!!
Who's ready for the season?
Amazing conversation, as we’ve all come to expect. Y’all are the best and thank you for keeping us locked in
Our Teams Body language say if Davion would not improve on his Jumper … he'll be traded. For me , should not be. We can't get any player in the draft and trade as "exceptional".like Mitchell. Hope no regrets later.
I love me some Off Night. I would watch just him during stretches of games this past season because I enjoyed watching his effort and tenacity. It's refreshing hearing his mindset, wanting to get better and earn more playing time. No sense of entitlement for being a top 10 pick and thinking he deserves to be a starter.
Great interview deuce n mo. Keep up the good work, covering this team is bout to crazy. Let’s go Sac Town
OFF NIGHT
I looked up dawg in the dictionary and saw a picture of Davion. This dude just brings the effort everytime. Hard to not root for this guy. Plays hard and great character.
Off night is a great interview. Really cool hearing about the tweaks in his shot trajectory. We’re lucky to have him.
hot take. steph doesnt score 50 if davion played more minutes in game 7
Davion gave the calculus and chemistry way of shooting differently
Davion i swear gives the best insight every summer 🔥
Videos like this got me missing night chat and kings basketball. Thank you Deuce and Mo for the content this off-season!!
Davion is real. No airs. Crazy intensity on the defensive end of the court. Hope he takes that offensive leap this coming season. Looking forward to his match-ups with Steph and to next year's interview.
Great interview! Davion is awesome!
davion is so well spoken. Awesome interview
This smart young man, knows his shit!
This was a EXCELLENT interview by D & M. Davion was really engaged, with thought out answers. Just a excellent watch (or listen) 👏👏
It’s so cool how open and honest davion is
Also, the blueprint appears to be: sign with octagon and get instant access to Brandon and Steph haha
