2016 NBA Draft Discussion

[Lmaotsetung]

You guys do realized our pick #13 that Papa guy was invited to the draft right? When guys get invited to the draft most expert think he'll go early in first round right? Saying he'll be there at #22 is ignorance in the draft process!

 

[Gilles]

So BMac and Big Georgios for Noel then?

 

[theclash4u5]

Well at least #Kings is trending?

 

[Glenn]

He's a decent athlete but I'm talking mobility wise. He can run, so can Nurkic, still a little plodding I'd say.

Sim defines plodding.

#17 - Grizzlies select Wade Baldwin

 

[Entity]

Would somebody please ban big cuz 15 right now? He has been told numerous times. Just being a dick at this point

 

[sdballer]

So we didn't keep cris because we didn't need a big and instead traded down to big an even less needed style of big.

 

[twslam07]

Please note this peeps.

And remember we had an interest in Noel.

And remember that Bryan Colangelo is a Euro-loving idiot.

And do not give up hope we made that pick for the 76ers as part of a Noel package.

I'd rather have Covington as Noel brings a lot of the things Cauley-Stein already brings.

 

[Kingfanpaul]

Well there that goes

Are you enjoying this?

 

[kingsboi]

Depending on what happens with 22, I may or may not turn off the TV and break several things in my house.... Been staring at a vase since we picked at 13 wondering just how far I can throw it...

Despite what I just witnessed at 13, this made me laugh out loud...thank you my man. In other news, Baldwin is off the board, fantastic!

 

[Rockmeister]

Memphis takes Baldwin.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Crap, there goes my guy. Why Vlade, why? If we drafted Baldwin first and the Big George, I wouldn't care...

Life of a Kings fan. I guess it means Conley is out in Memphis.

 

[peacelate]

Why do we need Noel? The Kings are rich in bigs right now.

 

[Bricklayer]

I'd rather have Covington as Noel brings a lot of the things Cauley-Stein already brings.

...which are things you can never have enough of. I'd take 12 athletic rim protectors if I could find one to run the point.

 

[CyKings]

would people have wanted Sabonis over Big George?

 

[Glenn]

Somebody invited him but it's a crapty draft as far as I'm concerned.

 

[KingsCitizen]

Papa could be our Marc Gasol. He got features same to Marc when he got drafted. But Marc was drafted in freakin 2nd round. Is Vlade forgetting we just traded for 2 other late picks plus our 59th? I just don't know what to make of this now

 

[hrdboild]

Crap, there goes my guy. Why Vlade, why? If we drafted Baldwin first and the Big George, I wouldn't care...

That's putting the cart ahead of the horse. Baldwin might replace Conley in Memphis... in 4 years. Maybe.

 

[Bricklayer]

Why do we need Noel? The Kings are rich in bigs right now.

To be dominant in bigs. Completely take away the rim, and build out from a position of strength. Without blowing up our cap either, so we can afford to restock our little guys.

 

[Amit149]

Hoping for a Luwawu drop...

 

[kennadog]

He's a decent athlete but I'm talking mobility wise. He can run, so can Nurkic, still a little plodding I'd say.

Draft Express says he's quite, mobile, fast and agile for his size. Good leaper, too. That doesn't sound plodding to me. And he's very young.

 

[steelevt]

Philly is STACKED with big men and trying to dump a couple just today, so hardly see a trade on that front.
Why on earth would the Kings draft this guy? Makes ZERO sense.

makes all the sense in the world. first we get rid of all our guards. then we can make our quintuple towers team. PapaG at center, KK at PF, WCS at SF, DMC at PG...crap we still dont have a SG

No, I believe ALL prospects can attend the draft. To be in their "green room" which is taking behind the scenes pics, you need to be invited.

 

[twslam07]

...which are things you can never have enough of. I'd take 12 athletic rim protectors if I could find one to run the point.

Sure you can if its at the expense of other skills

 

[Tetsujin]

would people have wanted Sabonis over Big George?

Well, when it comes to being a viable NBA big man, I have more faith in Papagiannis but I really didn't like Sabonis the younger and still...

 

[Capt. Factorial]

#18 - Pistons select Henry Ellenson

 

[peacelate]

To be dominant in bigs. Completely take away the rim, and build out from a position of strength. Without blowing up our cap either, so we can afford to restock our little guys.

The dude is 19 and played very little last year.

I thought the entire purpose these last 2 years was so win NOW.

In your honest opinion, do you think this can will help the Kings within the next 2 years?

 

[Chubbs]

That everyone hates this pick makes me strangely optimistic.

 

[jcwkings]

What I don't get is that we passed on an extremely athletic PF with a jumpshot because he was 18 and picked a 7'2 18 year old Center with DMC, WCS and Koufos on the roster. This only makes sense if this is the first step in a roster blowup. In fact getting three first round picks only makes sense if you're "gonna blow it up".
