2021 NBA Draft Superthread

[ridingagain]

This is the first time I have legit been shocked by a Kings pick in like ten years.

Papa g didn’t shock you?

 

[captain bill]

Like are we trading Fox for Simmons and Hali and Mitchell is the backcourt?

if anything id think Mitchell + Buddy for Simmons

 

[The_Jamal]

I mean something has to give:

Fox || Wright || Mitchell
Hali || Buddy || T Davis? || Ramsey

I was expecting Vlade to do something crazy. I just expected it to work lol

I almost agreed...then I remembered Papagiannis who probably should've been a 3rd round prospect.

I'm not sure about this fit, but Davion Mitchell has star talent. Just watch this breakdown from Mike Schmitz during the tournament

Next to who? One of those guards is hitting the bench in crunch time unless Mitchell grows about 5 inches this offseason.

If Moody was off the board, I would have taken Ziaire so not too surprised he went early.

 

[SLAB]

I did this to myself.

I set the bar at “mildly disappointed.”

Never dare the Kings to outKings themselves.

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

Dumb pick by the worst run franchise in professional sports. Praying for a trade.

 

[dude12]

Yes, Davion Mitchell is a stud. But with Fox and Hali in the fold…….really think there’s going to be some moves.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I mean something has to give:

Fox || Wright || Mitchell
Hali || Buddy || T Davis? || Ramsey

Buddy can play PF, it's fine.

I think we're definitely going to move on from Buddy. I also don't see Ramsey staying on the team. He didn't really impress last year and he was only a 2nd round pick

 

[Tetsujin]

Really think De'Aaron could be moving.

 

[SLAB]

Will Bagley play SF?

 

[funkykingston]

How long ago was Papagiannis?

 

[kb02]

Lets get Herb Jones, Monte

 

[SacTownKid]

Buddy can play PF, it's fine.

He did last year so he's proven it will lead you to the 10th seed when all the other teams are tanking around you.

 

[Tetsujin]

How long ago was Papagiannis?

Not long enough

 

[SLAB]

Really think De'Aaron could be moving.

I’d lose my mind, probably in the worst possible way.

Well. considering that the board was ecstatic when we picked Cauley-Stein and McLemore, I'll take the general wailing of "too small" and "too many guards" as a good sign!

 

[206Fan]

With all the guard lineups we see in the league, I think we'll be fine. Mitchell won't be able to guard SFs, but he's a hard-nosed defender who'll do really good on guards.

 

[SacTownKid]

Lets get Herb Jones, Monte

I'm hoping Moody drops to 39!!

 

[Kings_of_California]

Looks like I'm one of the few people who likes this pick. Love his crazy tenacity on defense. I know he's a guard and doesn't fit on paper, but Buddy is likely gone. We needed defense badly. And quite frankly, I wasn't enamored with any of the other guys left on the board.

[Old-School]

Mitchell is 6’2”…. I think he is a new version of Chris Paul. I also wonder if this is a big trade that involves Fox

 

[Entity]

I’m guessing we don’t match Davis now

 

[funkykingston]

Well. considering that the board was ecstatic when we picked Cauley-Stein and McLemore, I'll take the general wailing of "too small" and "too many guards" as a good sign!

I'm not a Mitchell fan at all, but I could accept the pick in a vacuum. But if Fox & Hali are staying why draft a backup with so many other holes and question marks?

 

[sactowndog]

I’m reserving comment to see if we have a trade to remove the backlog. If it stands we wasted two picks on Terrance Davis that could have moved us into the first round.
