2016 NBA Draft Discussion

[Capt. Factorial]

I'll take Murray if we feel like doubling down on young potential.

Not a bad idea, was just thinking the same thing.

 

[peacelate]

No, the right way to draft is to come away with the most talented guy. Time will tell, if Kings were right.

Yes, if you are a rebuilding team. Kings needed someone who can at least provide meaningful minutes, not some guy who will sit at the end of the bench developing.

 

[sdballer]

The fact that the Kings didn't work out anyone else in the top 30 is going to get a lot of play with that pick

 

[206Fan]

Probably means nothing, but the Kings haven't posted anything at all about the draft on social media.

They are as shocked as all of us.

probably cant spell his name right

 

[theclash4u5]

Have faith in Kings drafting Euro prospects guys....the student may have learned from the master. Peja, Hedo, Omri...enough said!

Did we draft Peja when we had an all-star SF?

 

[LPKingsFan]

Probably means nothing, but the Kings haven't posted anything at all about the draft on social media.

Probably because the Suns trade isn't official.

 

[CyKings]

Kings are ahead of the times, going big

Rudy
Cousins
WCS
KK
Big George

 

[kennadog]

Peja was rated higher than this guy and actually filled a need

The picked was still widely reviled by Kings fans. Petrie took major grief from the fans for quite awhile.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Brice Johnson feels like a Pacers type pick. That's my guess.

Well, he did get his hair cut at Supercuts today... that'll fit in with Indiana's steez.

 

[peacelate]

They are as shocked as all of us.

Probably forgot they were on the clock and blurted out the first name they could think of.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Well, he did get his hair cut at Supercuts today... that'll fit in with Indiana's steez.

Pacers traded the pick earlier today to the Nets, though.

 

[Amit149]

This draft is crazy...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Probably forgot they were on the clock and blurted out the first name they could think of.

That can't possibly have been the first name they could think of, if only because it's nigh unpronounceable.

 

[Jose]

Probably forgot they were on the clock and blurted out the first name they could think of.

Or were hungry and thought Papa Giannis was a pizza franchise?

 

[joemama]

Thad young for this kid
Nets r dumb

 

[Capt. Factorial]

#20 - Pacers select Caris LeVert - pick will go to Nets from trade earlier today

 

[funkykingston]

I think Sean Marks will be a solid to very good GM. Liked his head coach hire and I love the LeVert pick along with moving Young for caproom.

He's handcuffed by at lot of things in Brooklyn right now but personally I love the moves he's making so far.

LeVert could be a great gamble if healthy.

 

[joemama]

There is still some talent available
How about a guard?

 

[biltalent]

now we have Luwawu or Murray available at #22. Chance to bail us out.

 

[hrdboild]

Oh yeah, I already forgot about the Thad Young trade. That means there's only 1 more pick till we're on the clock again.

 

[Amit149]

Luwawu, Davis, Skal, Murray, Richardson and Korkmaz are all available- this is interesting.

 

[theclash4u5]

Georgios on some big boards

CBSSports- 39th

nbadraft- 49th

SI- 52. (NR) Georgios Papagiannis | Panathinaikos (Greece) | C | 7' 1", 240 | 18

Papagiannis is gigantic, talented and still just 18. He’s also not in great shape and will need a lot of time to pan out. He’s had strong moments for Greece at youth levels internationally after spending some time in the U.S. in high school. A wait-and-see pick.

????????????????????

 

[Gilles]

Ok, 1 more and Kings will shock us once again.

 

[Lmaotsetung]

Did we draft Peja when we had an all-star SF?

We drafted Hedo when we had an all-star SF

 

[hrdboild]

I like both D. Murray and Luwawu. So probably we'll draft someone I've never heard of instead.

 

[Big Cuz 15]

just my guess... i think we're gonna get conley in FA. FO haven't targeted any PG's

 

[SacTownKid]

I like both D. Murray and Luwawu. So probably we'll draft someone I've never heard of instead.

Adolf Tobotzowitzkie. 6'11" 300 pound center from Lustwavania.

????????????????????

But was 22 on Draft Express so let's not act like EVERYONE thought so lowly of him

 

[sdballer]

What weakness were we trying to address with this pick
