2016 NBA Draft Discussion

OH GREAT, COUSINS IS MAD

DeMarcus CousinsVerified account‏@boogiecousins
Lord give me the strength

I don't blame him. The Kings have Boogie, WCS and Koufos as the big man rotation. What use is Papagiannis?

Did Vlade think that if Giannis has turned into a multi positional force that Papagiannis must be even better?

 

[Sac.Kings]

Lol draft grades tomorrow:

Kings= F

 

[PurpleHaze]

Does anyone know anything about him?

I guess he speaks same language as Peja Stojackovic...

 

[Capt. Factorial]

#15 - Nuggets select Juan Hernangomez

 

[Big Cuz 15]

did we really blow the draft pick on big george?

 

[Gilles]

Denver gets Juancho

 

[Bricklayer]

Ok someone tell me what happened. Got home and the DVR screwed up the recording and all I saw was swap of picks with Suns

Basically we decided we did not want to waste cap space on a draft pick this year, so we gave away the #8 and drafted the scubbiest scrub we could find in hopes he will never come over.

Why did the Kings even draft a Center? This makes absolutely 0 sense. Did we really just draft a backup C at 13? Especially when the only PG we have on roster is a guy with 1 year left on his contract facing domestic violence charges?

What is Vlade saying? Is Cousins on the move? I don't know what's happening. I don't know what this is anymore.
Cousins has every right to feel how he feels.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Unbelievable. I'm going to pray Baldwin is there at 22. Please.

 

[Entity]

Demarcus not pleased. Not good

Which if even remotely true, is a disastrous use of an asset and further proof Vlade is outclassed

 

[Amit149]

I'm trying not to be negative but right now it feels like we made great moves only to **** it up spectacularly.

 

[Glenn]

I think Trill is pretty untouchable. ..

Kosta OTOH.....

Yes.

 

[funkykingston]

I'm trying hard not to overreact to what looks like a wasted lottery pick but if this team isn't ever going to improve then how long do I continue investing so much energy into them?

I think the answer is one more season. If there aren't steps forward next year (and Papagiannis not withstanding I still think they likely will) then I think it's time for me to take a break.

Oh good. So it was actually craptier than I thought .

 

[SacKings384]

Boogie isn't happy. I'm not either.

He has no use. He's 18 years old and averaged 12 minutes a game in Euro. He's going to take time to develop probably.

 

[hrdboild]

I'll admit it, I have no idea what we're doing right now.

Georgios Papagianni was very high on the 76ers wish list... he was not going to be on the board much further had he not gone 13

 

[Sac.Kings]

Big George would have been available at 22 if you really wanted him. So much talent left at 13 and we struck out hard.

 

[Glenn]

This is a huge plodding post player. Kosta Koufos says hi.

He is not plodding. Look at DX. On one play he was the first down the court on a fast break. I am not saying he will be any good but he's 18. His career isn't over yet.

 

[sdballer]

In one pick, they managed to waste an asset, not improve a bad team and pee off their star player.

Impressive

 

[jcwkings]

Vlade teased us that we finally had a competent person in control on draft night and then dropped the ultimate #KANGZ all within a two hour span. At this point all I can do is laugh.

 

[SacTownKid]

Give Vlade this much: he doesn't care what the hell anyone thinks.

Yeah, maybe he's just smarter than everyone right? Right? right....

Probably not.

 

[LA King Fan II]

Hmm. That would be swell and splain a lot if we deal with Philly.

 

[kingsboi]

plenty of international prospects going early

meh...im not too impressed stealing a guy off the list of the worst team in the nba

Whoa, whoa, whoa. ... easy on the cautious optimism, buddy!
