With all due respect, there is no way in hell that I'm taking Sabonis at #8. First, I'll be shocked if he's really 6'10". Second, he's not very athletic at all. Third, he has no shot outside of 15 feet, and his post game is just OK. He is a good rebounder. I have him in the lower half of the first round. Somewhere between 20 and 25. If Hield, Dunn, Brown, and Murray are gone, then I'm taking Jakob Poeltl. We may not have a need at the center position at the moment, but in my opinion, he's the best player left on the board, and you never know what the future holds.
If those four are gone I'd hope the Kings look to trade the pick either for a player and/or a later pick. I think Ivica Zubac will end up being the same solid backup/borderline starter C that I think Poeltl will turn out to be.
If the Nuggets were interested in packaging #15 & #19 to move up to #8 (Denver has a bunch of draft picks this year, including the Knicks) I'd jump on that and try to grab two out of Baldwin, Beasley, Luwawu, D. Murray, Valentine, Prince & Zubac. My preference would be Baldwin at #15 & either Beasley or Zubac at #19
I like Murray a little better than you do. He's a lights out shooter, and personally, I think end to end speed is overrated. Nice to have of course, but by and large, its ballhandling and change of speeds that gets players open. Murray is an OK ballhandler, and should get better in the future. He's a high BBIQ guy and only 19 years old. I question his lateral quickness on the defensive side of the ball. That said, I saw him play some pretty good defense on occasion. So we'll see. I just happen to like Hield better. If somehow Dunn drops to us at eight, the drinks are on me. I'll even throw some shrimp on the BarBe.
Murray reminds me of D'Angelo Russell. Russell is a more creative passer, Murray a bit better shooter but similar builds and skillsets. Both are PG/SG combos, both more smooth & crafty than explosive and both will be limited by their athleticism in terms of defense as well as struggling to turn the corner on guys guarding them.
Murray wouldn't help the Kings defensively but he could be a nice, slightly undersized SG option. I think he becomes a better piece for the Kings if Rondo walks and Collison is the starter than if Rondo stays since it would mean he'd have more opportunity to have the ball in his hands to create.
