Crawford had one of the best crossover dribbles the NBA has ever seen. I wanted the Kings to go after him every time he became a freeagent. But alas, it never happened. One of the greatest sixth men off the bench ever!

Yep, still am. I love hustle guys, especially those that come with some skills. The problem with the Kings is that they have too many so called stars, and not enought get down and get dirty players. LaRavia brings several things the Kings need. First and formost, height and length, plus an...

To be honest, I'm having a hard time getting inspired this year. First, we may not have a draft pick, 1st or 2nd! Or, we just might. Second, this team doesn't inspire me. It's poorly put together, and the ability to fix that this year, is no longer available. A starting lineup and closing lineup...

I've always been a big fan of DeMar's. Master of the mid-range and the pumpfake. He put up better defensive numbers last year than Barnes. Not that it makes him a lock down defender, but it means we probably don't get any worse. Offensively we should be hard to guard. Our depth should be a...

Not much happening right now. Obviously Cooper Flagg is the favorite to be drafted number one, but that could all change. Although I do think Flagg is the real deal. Its been a nice quiet summer and I've been busy with a face lift on my house which was sorely needed. I love the addition of...

OK, the three players I have at the top of my board for the Kings at 13, and that's unless someone that I like drops down to us, are: Tristan Da Silva, DaRon Holmes, and Jalen Tyson. I like all three for entirely different reasons. I wouldn't be surprised to see them trade the pick for a veteran...

Yeah, it wouldnt surprise me if some team in the lottery took a flyer on him. I left him undrafted because of his legal affairs. But if I were to re-do the mock, I would find a place for him in the 1st round.

I had to laugh a bit because my son and I have had several discussions about the Rockets, and the talent they have. One of the knocks on the Rockets was that they had talent, but not the proper player development. We both believe that has changed recently, but my point is, the last place you...

Since I was trying to stay within the word limit with my 2nd round post, I tried to keep my write up on Enrique Freeman brief. But he has an interesting story. He wasn't recruited by any major colleges coming out of highschool, and ended up being a walk on at Akron. So he had to earn everything...

I love Knecht! Not so much Holland. Holland has a ton of potential, but he's not ready to contribute for a while. Knecht is instant offense. Anyone that saw that Tennessee game against Kentucky where Sheppard and Knecht dueled each other for the entire second half knows what Knecht can do. One...

As you probably know by now, I don't adhere to the reach thing. If you like a player, and he's your guy, you draft him and go home happy. Most people might not know, or remember, but Kobe Bryant was considered a reach by many. Peja was considered a reach. I could go on and on with this reach...

Sorry I took so long to get back to you but I've had one thing after another taking up my time. But to answer your question, yes, I actually have him right now at pick 31. I think he's definitely 1st rd material, but then I have about 8 or so players in the second round that could just as...

The reason I held off posting the 2nd round was because I wanted to wait and see who was going to withdraw their names from the draft. Glad I did, because I had the Kings taking Karaban with the 45th pick. Good chance he wouldn't have been there anyway. I'm still on board with the Kings taking...

I don't think moving up in this draft is going to be that difficult. Truthfully, it's possible that player number 12 or 13 will be better than player 1 or 2, and you'd be paying them less on their rookie contract. You can take a swing at the fences at 13 or 14 and no one would be critical in...

Round 2 of the 2024 NBA Draft: Sorry for the delay but I've been dealing with some off court issues that have taken up most of my time. But without further ado, here is what I've been agonizing over. No long descriptions but just the basics, except for the Kings pick. I did my best to be honest...

Bajaden's Real Mock Draft: Part Two 16. 76'ers: Jared McCain: SG/PG, 6'3", 203 Lb's, 6'3.5" Wingspan, Freshman, Duke 31.6 mpg - 14.3 ppg - 46.2% fgp - 41.4% 3pp - 88.5% ftp - 4.2 rpg - 1.9 apg - 1.1 stl's - 5.8 3pa I guess you could argue that the 76'ers don't need another 6'3" guard, but in...

1. Hawks: Zaccharie Risacher: SF, 6'8", 204 Lb's, 6'10.75" Wingspan, 19 yr's old, France 22.0 mpg - 10.1 ppg - 43.9% fgp - 35.2% 3pp - 74.0% ftp - 3.8 rpg - 0.9 apg - 0.9 stl's, 3.4 3pa Risacher is a good athlete and fits the mold of the modern NBA wing. He needs to get stronger and tighten up...

Thanks 101, I needed a picker upper! I'll have it up in the next few days if all goes well. It's very time consuming because I have to make I have all the stats right for every player, along with deciding the final positioning, which this year has been tough! I've finally reached a point where...

As I've said to someone else, I'm amused by the best player available idea. Who decides who that is? It's subjective!!! My opinion is likely to be different than yours, or some other persons. So who is right? I think I'am, but I'm sure you think you are. I think you get my point. I decide in my...

I agree with you on Holland. He's going to be a player, and I think the mechanic's of his shot are fine. He just needs to get the reps and it will come around. I doubt he'll slide to us, but if he does, you have to take him. I also agree on Missi. Solid rim protector and rebounder, but no game...
