2016 NBA Draft Discussion

[SacTownKid]

The dude is 19 and played very little last year.

I thought the entire purpose these last 2 years was so win NOW.

In your honest opinion, do you think this can will help the Kings within the next 2 years?

More importantly how and when does he play? I can't see a better Kosta Koufos doing much for the Kings this year.

 

[Big Cuz 15]

He's a decent athlete but I'm talking mobility wise. He can run, so can Nurkic, still a little plodding I'd say.

pretty sure he'll drop some of that weight and increase in mobility from it.

 

[Amit149]

The good news is that there are good names left.
Luwawu, Deyonte Davis, Beasley and Skal was all projected in the teens and one of them will be available for us.

 

[Hoovtrain]

meh...im not too impressed stealing a guy off the list of the worst team in the nba

It's like 2 colossal idiots cheating off each other in class

 

[hrdboild]

Wow, excellent pick for Stan Van. Ellenson can really shoot -- can't think of a better team for him.

 

[SacKings384]

I just want one year. One single year. Other than the Boogie draft. I just want people to say "this was a great pick." Or at least not get a "that was a big reach" from all the analysts. This one hurts. I just don't understand.

 

[sdballer]

Well at least we solved our third string center problem

 

[Livinthedream]

I'm confused.

 

[funkykingston]

Luwawu likely to be there at 22

No, the right way to draft is to come away with the most talented guy. Time will tell, if Kings were right.

I was referring to getting Noel, not for this guy.

 

[Glenn]

Well, when it comes to being a viable NBA big man, I have more faith in Papagiannis but I really didn't like Sabonis the younger and still...

Same here. I think on the DX video he looks better than Sabonis ...........although they don't get into the negatives. For my last note of the night, I didn't think we would find anyone useful at #8 after the first 7 were picked. Ciao!

 

[Tetsujin]

That everyone hates this pick makes me strangely optimistic.

The last time a pick was so widely reviled on Kingfans, he was named Rookie of the Year.

did you not watch last years draft?

 

[kennadog]

I just know we'll have to wait a while to truly judge this draft. Kings fans booed the Peja pick, too. You never know. Especially when you're not drafting on the top three. Even then it can go bad.

we probably pick whoever is tallest

Peja was rated higher than this guy and actually filled a need

 

[Fear the Putin]

I think this draft is already a win in that we didn't trade down to acquire Salmons. At least we got some interesting prospects.

 

[Amit149]

Ivica Zubac it is!

Evans? Disagree, there were plenty of people that really wanted him over Rubio

 

[SacTownKid]

Not enough to play with Cuz for extended minutes.

 

[AaronPDX]

I don't even hate the pick itself as much as I'm completely BAFFLED what the hell is going on in the Kings' front office? This is mind boggling,

There HAS to be a trade in play, nothing else makes any sense whatsoever. Damnit.

 

[Lmaotsetung]

Have faith in Kings drafting Euro prospects guys....the student may have learned from the master. Peja, Hedo, Omri...enough said!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

#19 - Nuggets select Malik Beasley

 

[naran dulai]

And #13, and #28, and a future second rounder.

and what did we do with those picks

That's my issue as well. The Kings issue is the pieces fitting together. It's a puzzle and it doesn't matter much if you are collecting the best pieces of the puzzle if they are all the same pieces of the puzzle.

 

[SLAB]

Probably means nothing, but the Kings haven't posted anything at all about the draft on social media.

 

[Henkel]

I'll take Murray if we feel like doubling down on young potential.

 

[Entity]

I honestly thought we would trade all three for someone established

 

[hrdboild]

Brice Johnson feels like a Pacers type pick. That's my guess.
