2016 NBA Draft Discussion

[Capt. Factorial]

#33 - Clippers select Cheick Diallo (will be sent to New Orleans for #39 and 40)

 

[KingsCitizen]

Bogdan isn't coming over this season

Well, no contract has been signed yet. Remember this guy is a Serbian, we got Vlade and Peja in that F.O.
The biggest block with him signing with Suns is the bigger payout next season.
Maybe Vlade and Peja can convince him with several acres of land back in Serbia in return to coming this season.

I did enjoy the graphic on the lakers pic, as all that was showing was the Los........ part, which I extrapolated into Losers...... why am I even watcing this????

 

[Capt. Factorial]

#34 - Suns select Tyler Ulis

 

[sdballer]

Don't forget we also have Gudatis as another potential big too

 

[Sac.Kings]

I don't know how to feel about picks #13 and #22. I can understand Richardson somewhat (we need a SG), but I'm not a fan of his. I live 50 minutes from Syracuse and have seen him play, he's not our answer to the SG spot. His great NCAA tourney run got him this pick (otherwise he is a 2nd round pick today). Big George... I will have to wait for Vlade to speak on that one, as I can't even come up with a good reason. #28 I understand, great talent but needs a lot of work to get there. Hell of a player if he puts in the required amount of work. IF. #28 was my favorite pick of the night. We should have got Baldwin though, he was right there.

 

[Gliesian]

My guess is Vlade trades Kosta and one or more draftees not named Papagiannis for a starting SG. Kosta is the only tradeable asset we don't absolutely need. I'm against trading Ben. We know he can hit the three and there's no reason he should suck at D.

 

[Kingfanpaul]

And Seth and it offers support of collison

True. Maybe they are confident that Seth and Rondo re-sign so we don't need a lot of help at PG.

Still doesn't make sense to reach for Big George, unless he turns out to be a breast.

Kings grades / C- / B- / B

Obviously Vlade didn't want him thou.

 

[Kingfanpaul]

Or even a beast lol.

I'm not so sure he has any real value.

 

[steelevt]

Cousins
WCS
Skal
KK
Big George

Warriors have nothing on us

Vivek: building a team like the warriors to beat them isnt working. so how can we beat them?
no name scout: how about instead of playing small ball, we play TALL ball?
Vivek: Vlade...make it happen

 

[Capt. Factorial]

#35 - Celtics select Rade Zagorac (will be traded to Memphis)

 

[swisshh]

I don't think anyone the Kings drafted will be an every night player for the Kings. That's a bad draft. Have no interest in spin on this. The players you could have used were there. Instead, you draft bigs when its your deepest position. And then you draft a Syracuse player. You NEVER draft Syracuse.

 

[Kingsgurl]

Kings pick at 59 will be:
A. A 7-footer
B. someone from Euro-League
C. Still under contract in said Euro-League
D. All of the above

Someone named Jaleel

 

[jcwkings]

Suns traded Isaiah so they draft his scrawny little brother.

 

[Sac.Kings]

My guess is Vlade trades Kosta and one or more draftees not named Papagiannis for a starting SG. Kosta is the only tradeable asset we don't absolutely need. I'm against trading Ben. We know he can hit the three and there's no reason he should suck at D.

And yet, after 3 seasons as a full time starter, he still does. The kid doesn't have it between the ears. He just doesn't. No confidence, no swagger, and he gets broken mentally within 30 seconds of play.

Capt. Factorial will not be so kind.

 

[Sac.Kings]

If we sign Conley, this draft makes a lot more sense. I hope Joerger knows things we don't.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

#36 - Bucks select Malcolm Brogdon

I agree. I mean Baldwin isn't the answer this year but neither are any of the guys we drafted. Much like bigs weren't favored 7-8 years ago with the Kings now pgs aren't favored. Did pretty good last by getting NBA assist leader lol

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

With the Kings pick, they select Kerertuckighqahti Johstolophgntahinah - PG - Bosnia & Herzegovina.

He's my cousin.

 

[FaStRmAn]

Not at all excited about any of these picks... has the smell of desperation and incompetency ....

 

[jcwkings]

If Kings were trying to win/ build around Cousins they should have gone

13. Valentine or Baldwin
22. Luwawu or Korkmaz
28. Murray or Skal

LOL lots of trades could still go down.

Not saying I like the 13th pick, but someones in a hurry to be relevant over there.

 

[Entity]

Yeah get me Conley, bazemore and I am smiling.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

#37 - Rockets select Chinanu Onuaku

Let's hope he doesn't turn into a breast

 

[sdballer]

13. Valentine or Baldwin
22. Luwawu or Korkmaz
28. Murray or Skal

Or traded the 8 or the 13 for a vet that can contribute now at a position of need. Instead we got raw guys at positions where they can't step in to play now.
