but not for the reason he thinks.

Seriously people just look at names. The fit is abysmal and even the rosiest glasses should be able to see that.

I'm not going to post everything I wrote in the draft threads again but you're talking about scorers and I'm talking about defenders. Kevin Durant just called Jrue Holiday the toughest defender in the league at any position. Size and strength mattered a lot more on defense when you didn't get called for a foul just by being in the same zip code when a shot attempt is made. What matters now is defending the three point line not stopping drives to the basket and you do that with your feet and your intelligencer not with the top of your head.

Jrue Holiday is like 6'4" and huge for a PG. Monte tried to get Marcus Smart at one point apparently but those guys are ginormous PG's big enough to guard up. Smart hast like a 6'10" wingspan. Both he and Holiday are well over 200 pounds probably. That isn't Mitchell. He's decent size for a PG but that little bit makes a difference. Haliburton, Fox, and Mitchell. What contender looks like that?

Warriors about to get Moody in addition to Kuminga. I hate them so much.

I dont hate the warriors...they are our NORCAL uppity brethren.

Kings trying hard to talk themselves in a pick. Things never change.

any chance he spelled sacramento wrong?

 

[Section 101]

Warriors just accumulating big, long wing players. Meanwhile we’re drafting 6’2” PGs with three PGs on the roster already (Fox, Halliburton, & Wright)

I don't mind drafting a PG, I do mind one that is 8 months younger than our 4th year starting PG and 1 year 7 months older than our 2nd year guard.

 

[sactowndog]

Kings trying to make they playoffs with their 6 month time window are going to get crushed in the Pacific Division next year.

 

[kingdivac]

I think we are looking at a Nate Robinson here...

Robinson was way smaller

That does it, I'm just going to have to take a shot every time someone says "wingspan" now. I've had plenty of draft night freakouts of my own so I'll just say I'm sorry so many fans are disappointed but being disappointed on draft night is a lot better than being disappointed in our roster 3 years from now. We'll just have to wait and see.

It’s actually going to happen. And by that I mean, absolutely freakin’ nothing.

This team never fails to let me down.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Or the Kangz being Kangz.

You guys really need to grow up. That term is insufferably dumb. Grade school name mocking crap. I have no clue who came up with the term, but they are a simpleton and sheep are apparently gonna sheep together.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Robinson was way smaller

sure, but same concept, small defender who cores. Im not calling it good or bad just what it is. there are just realities to size.

 

[Dongoodboy]

More disappointing is Monte seems incapable to make a move in trades. Hope I am wrong.

 

[gunks]

Fox trade pleaseeeee. Only way to save the future

Hahaha what?!

Remember off night...I'm looking forward to seeing if he can guard curry or lillard

In the last decade have you ever been disappointed on draft night and then happy with the pick a few years later?

Steep price to pay

 

[sactowndog]

yeah that had 1 year of decent shooting.

 

[hrdboild]

Nobody ever referred to Nate Robinson as a defender He was a dunk contest novelty from day one who played himself into a pretty decent career despite his size but the comparison is laughable.

Dude, the conversation was based on physical representation, what else can you point to? Oh, certainly not the age old arguments right haha? Its seems ticky tack but if Chris Paul isn't guarding 3's, yeah.

And the point is it's the moves that don't make much sense (this does make some mind you if they didn't see this pick as anything more than a backup) that end up hurting you 3 years on. Papa G. WCS. And so on.

Depends whose firsts they are.

 

[krylia sovetov]

Davion’s measurable are pretty similar to CP3 too
