They're trading him to Utah for Lyles and 24

 

[Kingsfan91]

I lose. going to utah. Good pickup

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Man, unless we move a couple of these youngins for a skilled vet -- the Kings are going to have a ton of really young players.
4 players from the 2016 1st round.
4 players from the 2017 top 34.
And 1st rounders from 2014 and 2015 (Bogdanovic and WCS).

We'll have 5 rookies on the roster next season.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Heat probably would have taken Mitchell anyway.

 

[kingsboi]

of course Utah goes and trades for a defensive minded player...which means George Hill is going bye bye, either him or Dante Exum

 

[Kingsfan23]

Players that I think the Kings like at 15/20 : Harry Giles, Justin Jackson, Donovan Mitchell, Anzejs Pasecniks

There is talent. I thought you needed Portlands 26 as well for that trade.

 

[LA King Fan II]

I bet we get Swanigan at 20.

 

[Old-School]

Thank God Kennard is off the board....good for us

Kennard, Mr. Ohio State Basketball H.S. for two straight years, is a steal ...

 

[206Fan]

well now Donovan Mitchell makes sense. Trey Lyles has been a big ass disappointment in the NBA. I seriously don't know what he does well at the NBA level

 

[Mass]

Kennard, Mr. Ohio State Basketball H.S. for two straight years, is a steal ...

He also knows every word from the movie "Frozen". That's a remarkable skill.

 

[The_Jamal]

O.G? Jackson? One of the C's? (Patton/other Collins/Allen?), Leaf?

Lot of good players here.

 

[funkykingston]

I applaud you for picking Kennard at 12, I had him in the late teens.

I didn't want Kennard for the Kings given their roster but I think he's underrated.

 

[The Hammer]

Trading down out of the lottery, even late at #10, is such a bad idea. No one at 15 or 20 is going to have the potential or likelihood for success that Monk would have had.

You must be new.


Welcome!


tl;dr - SKAL

and we have shot at two of them

 

[The_Jamal]

Heat picking Adebayo so we have OG, JJ, etc available

Wowza. Can't believe he goes before Patton/Collins/Allen

increase the odds of getting a good player. With recent drafts not including last year, the Kings could use all the picks they can get. Some will be good, some won't. The ones that won't will be gone soon.

hrmms, if true, I think the big sites were extremely down on BAM. I saw him as a 1st round talent. it was insane when I saw BAM as a 1st round guy, while DX had him in the 2nd.

absolutely. I'll take one SF and one PF/C

 

[dude12]

I'm just happy we didn't take him.

 

[kingsboi]

Bam at 14...that is one built dude, hold down the paint with Hassan

 

[steelevt]

alright, odds on going to commercial...

 

[206Fan]

Wowza. Can't believe he goes before Patton/Collins/Allen

I think he goes first because he's a 2-way big unlike Collins and Allen. Jumpshot is a lot better than we saw at UK. So when you have BAM vs Patton, BAM is a lot more polished.

 

[roasthawg]

Common og!!!!

 

[Kingz19]

Surprised Bam went this early

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Best part of Adam Silver is that he's tall enough to give us an idea of how big the draftees are. With Stern, you just couldn't tell.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

I forgot to list Isaiah Cousins too!! Add one more to the list.

 

[kingdivac]

Justin Jackson - I think.....wing shooting.

 

[andjel]

Kings got whom they targeted at 15.
So far so excellent!

 

[Krunker]

So, I'm guessing we go with John Collins, seeing as how he came to sac twice

 

[hrdboild]

Damn, sniped by the Heat. I really liked Bam.
