Budinger makes sense to me if he falles to #38.

yea, exactly what we need, another SG who shoots and doesn't play any D

honestly, hes a steal at 38, but NOT what we need...

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

uhh. ESPN still says Sac is picking right now. Usually they show the deal by now.

 

[KingGiant49erFan]

Because he is projected as the 14th best talent in this draft and their is always a chance his knee problems go away. Unlikely, but possible.

What?? Thats some awesome logic right there my friend. I guess I'd be cool with Blair in the second as a character guy.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm not a fan of anybody; I said seven months ago that this was going to be the Pervis Ellison draft all over again. I don't think there's a single can't-miss player in this draft, not even Griffin. I do believe that Evans was the best player available; I honestly believe that he's going to be a better NBA player than Rubio, but I'm far from thinking that he's a lock.

Evans has the more upside between the two, in my opinion, but let's not get it ****ed up: there is no Dywane Wade in this draft.

 

[Aenadin]

What exactly do you mean when you say he will "always be a SG"? What about the fact that he played the point in high school and most of his year in college?

his game really screams SG to me than pure point.. like i said im warming up to him..

 

[Rockmeister]

uhh. ESPN still says Sac is picking right now. Usually they show the deal by now.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[Kings Faithful]

I was under the impression he was a SF...

 

[DoDiGaG0]

Jerebeko might be the guy POR is after..

 

[Warhawk]

uhh. ESPN still says Sac is picking right now. Usually they show the deal by now.

Yeah, I think they may pick for the other team?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

uhh. ESPN still says Sac is picking right now. Usually they show the deal by now.

When the trade is not completed until draft day, it can't be announced until after both teams make their picks.

 

[DoDiGaG0]

I was under the impression he was a SF...

SF/SG..more of a SF, but with Noc,Greene,Casspi ..

 

[Kings Faithful]

Nice pick up for OKC.

 

[DoDiGaG0]

please tell me this is going to Por...

 

[Rockmeister]

They just announced it.

 

[Warhawk]

Yeah, they just said he's going to Portland because of the trade.

 

[Kings Faithful]

SF/SG..more of a SF, but with Noc,Greene,Casspi ..

Yeah, after Casspi there is a little bit of a jam with Budinger. Why would that stop the Kings though? They obviously pull who they are going to get out of a hat.

 

[Gary]

Can someone please explain to me why they want a 6'7" PF with no ACL's?

Everyone seems to be ignoring those posts and want him anyway... Weird I know.. Blairs had surgeries on both his ACLs and has had problems with both knees since then.

 

[Double-K]

We drafted #4 and GP still have not gotten interviewed.... while Donnie Walsh was the first GM interviewed....

 

[DoDiGaG0]

Blair is gone here IMO, easy pick up for Washington

 

[DoDiGaG0]

Yeah, after Casspi there is a little bit of a jam with Budinger. Why would that stop the Kings though? They obviously pull who they are going to get out of a hat.

true, wouldn't be too surprised.

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

wow I totally forgot about Meeks .. I would like that pick.

 

[Henkel]

Mayo doesn't have the athletic ability of Evans. Evans is sooo much of a better finisher than Mayo it isn't funny. Also, a much better defender. Also, a better creator. Mayo is a better shooter.

Mayo is more athletic then Evans if anything. Don't make me bust out combine stats on you. Mayo average half an assist less while playing with a far better guard next to him at USC. Evans is a better finisher but both guys can get past their defender and get to the basket with great ball handling. Evans is probably a better defender but he isn't great on that end.

 

[Gary]

What exactly do you mean when you say he will "always be a SG"? What about the fact that he played the point in high school and most of his year in college?

I was able to scout him when I had my mock site up and running out of high school. He DID play guard in HS although it was not traditional PG in the sense that he brought it up and distributed it. It was basically him bringing the ball up to the high post or the elbow and shooting a jumper or driving himself. He did on occasion pass to a cutter when he was doubled. Pretty much the same way he looked in college if you caught his games. You think of him as a ball handler rather than a pure PG.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

This guy cracks me up ...

 

[Kings Faithful]

I'd be prett down on myself if I was Blair right now.

Who do you think he most compares to in the NBA? I've heard a few people say his game is similar to Nocioni except without as good of a shot, is this accurate?
