2013 NBA Draft thread.

[Hoovtrain]

Like someone said earlier, just like losing out at the last pick on Noah all over.

 

[Ryan]

How great would it be if Stern said "With the 7th pick in the NBA draft, the Seattle Supersonics selct...oops, I mean, Sacramento Kings select..."

 

[rainmaker]

There is an off button.

Not when it's all announced here beforehand.

 

[The Hammer]

And right on queue.

Thing is as Noel kept staying on the board, that prevented any possible trade scenarios from happening, so, really we couldn't have traded up to get him, and it's not a surprise that NOH took him. Yeah it's a little disappointing, but less so than it really looks when you think about it, imo.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

McLemore at the 2 with Evans at the 1 sounds pretty good to me. McLemore or Burke would be nice.

 

[Glenn]

Can't believe NO has Davis/Noel.

Actually a tad odd but that's their business.

 

[kingjatt]

kings will take mclamore!

You can't just turn off everything and watch espn?

 

[Dime Dropper]

so we get another guard. Possibly encouraging us to let the former ROY of the year guard we already have go. One pick, one draft position is all it takes to ruin another draft for us. Just never works out. Or we never make it work out.

We were so close to Noel, it's heartbreaking. I wonder if NO took him just to get extra value, they don't exactly need him. I'd be inclined to push hard for him with McLemore and something else. I think the FO were planning on letting Reke go regardless, which is idiotic, but drafting McLemore still beats drafting McCollum.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

This team is going to change a lot after tonight. Wow.

Welcome McLemore.

 

[Chicken Chaser]

How great would it be if Stern said "With the 7th pick in the NBA draft, the Seattle Supersonics selct...oops, I mean, Sacramento Kings select..."

The booing would be extraordinary.

 

[rainmaker]

It's a good pick if it's a Reke/McLemore backcourt. Not so good if it's anything else.

 

[Uncia03]

Yes!

 

[The_Jamal]

Awesome. Just Awesome

 

[OptimusRhyme]

Yes! steal for us!

 

[Bricklayer]

Let's see, opposing team strategy, completely block out the paint.

Kings strategy, take a 13th SG.

Sounds like old times. Are we sure Petrie left?

 

[Glenn]

Can't knock it considering a whole bunch of alternatives.

 

[Ryan]

Booom!!!!!!

 

[cuad]

Ben McLemore is one guy I didn't study at all. :/

Ben McLemore + Tyreke CAN WORK. CAN CAN CAN

 

[Mass]

McLemore! He could be the best talent in this draft. Evans at the 1 and McLemore at the 2!

 

[Uncia03]

It's a good pick if it's a Reke/McLemore backcourt. Not so good if it's anything else.

Yes...that should be what I mean.

If it's Reke/McLemore backcourt then YES!

 

[cuad]

McLemore! He could be the best talent in this draft. Evans at the 1 and McLemore at the 2!

Yes yes yes. They're saying he can't dribble, which is perfect for Reke.

 

[Amory]

Of what I have heard, he should have gone #1

 

[William Blake]

And for the third year in a row I have to talk myself into liking the Kings pick.

 

[Glenn]

It's a good pick if it's a Reke/McLemore backcourt. Not so good if it's anything else.

I'm with ya.

 

[Hallama]

Kings needed an athlete like McLemore...and he can shoot as a bonus.

 

[panda]

Is this good for us then?

 

[kingjatt]

pretty similar to last year tho, kansas guy, expected to be gone at number 2, pollard says dont take him if he drops, still plenty of concerns, but at least he's full sized and can shoot, those things can translate no matter what.

 

[Mass]

Bye bye Marcus and Jimmer.

 

[Spike]

Keith Smart weeps - he could have had a 5 guard lineup.
