    Jaylon Tyson: SF/SG, 6'7", 210 Lb's, Jr., California 34.3 mpg - 19.6 ppg - 46.5% fgp - 36.0% 3pp - 79.6% ftp - 6.8 rpg - 3.5 apg - 1.2 stl's - 0 5 blk's Tyson has sort of flown under the radar this season. He was the best player on the Cal team, for what that's worth. Probably enough get him...

    I wonder at what point PF's started being judged on they're ability to guard 2's and 3's. Do you pass on drafting a Giannis because you don't think he can flip his hips? How about a Shaq? In the film I saw he did fine one on one against opposing PG's and SG's. We also have to take the league he...

    Yeah, I had forgotten about Nesmith. Sheppard is a better all around player than Nesmith.

    Well, unless we get lucky in the lottery, I wouldn't spend too much time discussing Risacher or Sarr. It's likely they go one/two in the draft, although I would take Reed Sheppard over both of them. Sheppard is the complete package and without a doubt the best 3pt shooter in the draft, and if he...

    Well you never know who else is watching. Petrie thought he had discovered a hidden talent but on draft day Jerry West made a trade to pick one spot before the Kings and stole Kobe Bryant from us. It was originally thought that Chomche would spend one year in college having received multiple...

    Ulrich Chomche: PF/C, 6'11", 240 Lb's, 7'4" Wingspan, 9'4" Standing reach, 18.5 Yr's old, NBA African League. 30.0 mpg - 13.0 ppg - 42.4% fgp - 38.1% 3pp - 75.0% ftp -9.0 rpg - 3.3 apg - 1.3 steals - 2.7 blocks Let me start by saying he'll be the youngest player in the draft if he stays in the...

    Yep, probably seen him play around 15 times this past season. I originally watched Colorado to see Cody Williams, but was impressed by Da Silva. He's actually a good defender away from the basket, and showed some rim protection as well. Good 3pt shooter who can put the ball on the floor a...

    Look, I really like Carter, but he's not at the top of my list, although he fills the role of someone that's ready to play right now. As to your question about trading down and still getting your player, I'm a firm believer that if you totally fall in love with a player and you're convinced he...

    A lot of guessing going on there. Woulda, coulda, shoulda doesn't move the needle for me. If you watched him play, which I doubt you did, you would have a more positive attitude toward him. Fit wise, we don't need another 6'3" guard. We need to add to our length, especially at the forward and...

    I'll put it this way. Anyone that watches a providence game, or multiple games by Providence, and you don't notice Carter, you're blind. I love Carter. He reminds me of a taller, bigger version of Alvarado. There seems to be two of him on the floor, and he can really defend (1.7 steals) and he...

    I will be posting a mock draft in a few days. I would have already posted it if I could keep my hands off of it! Sometimes you can over think these things. I've also held off on doing write up's on individual players because I started to suspect some time ago that the Kings might not make the...

    Well, you ended with two players I like quite a bit. Chomche has huge upside and could be the PF we're looking for. Da Silva could also play PF or SF. I've watched a ton of film on Chomche and he's very impressive. One does have to consider the competition, but he can handle, he can shoot, he...

    I like all the players listed but all to different degree's. First, I think that Da Silva (who I love), Klintman, and Evans are all bottom of the 1st rd picks. My favorite player in that total group is Tristan Da Silva, who I think is likely to go somewhere between 16 and 20. Just my opinion...

    Potential Free agent/trade/sign tracker

    Arrrgh, I should have checked another website. Basketball reference apparently hasn't updated it's site yet. Well too bad, Olynyk would have been a nice fit. If all you're looking for is a scorer, there will be quite a few in the 2nd round of this draft. Almost all are Seniors, some 5 year...

    Potential Free agent/trade/sign tracker

    First, I think there's a good chance that Monk departs in freeagency. The most the Kings can offer is 17.4 mil. At least that's the figure I've seen bandied about. That's a lot of money, but for a player that's the 6th man of the year, not exceptional. When you have a team like the Magic who...

    You could be right about Dunn, but the odd's are against him. If he was shooting decent numbers from the free throw line, I'd be more encouraged, but he's not. I'm not sure I'd gamble on him in the 2nd rd, but in the 1st rd, and at 14, he'd have to give me some solid reasons between now and the...

    Kings trade rumor SZN 2023-2024 edition!

    I agree that sometimes doing nothing is better than doing something, just to make a move. The problem is that we would still be limited to trades because we have no capspace to work with in freeagency. That said, I do think we'll do something. How big a move it will be is the mystery. My...

    I agree with most of what you posted, so not going to nit pick. As far as there being questions in regards to Jones, I would venture there are questions about every player in the 2nd rd, and probably in the 1st rd as well. This isn't a great draft if you're looking for superstars, but there is...
