Gotta say, this is the least excited I've been for the NBA draft in a while for a few reasons. First and foremost, we don't have a 1st round pick. That one is obvious. Second, it's such a weak class. After the first 3 picks (Zion, Morant, Barrett) the talent level drops off like a sack of bricks. A lot of guys mocked in the first round have a ceiling of solid rotation level players, and with the Kings having two second round picks today, we could be looking at kids who would've gone undrafted in other classes. Third, how do I put this...it's just an obvious draft. The first 3 picks are pretty much set in stone - it will be as listed above. The only intrigue after that is whether the Pels and/or Hawks will trade their picks. But again not even that exciting if they do considering the talent level or lack thereof.

Anyway this is really just a pointless rant. Im bored at home waiting for it to start. I'm still going to watch like I always do, but there's really a lack of serious interest for me.

Twitter is RIPPING this one for the Suns. I don’t know enough about the prospects, or really about Saric to deem it LOLSuns or not though.
Saric is average. Maybe slightly more. He's had inconsistent opportunities to play and he's been inconsistent himself. The difference between the #6 and #11 pick is substantial. Don't like it at all for Phoenix.

Only reason I'm paying attention is for the possibility that we might be involved in that Thunder trade.

I'm currently watching NBA TV's coverage over ESPN. I'm guessing that's the right choice? ESPN usually provides a lot less actual analysis and focuses way more on drama.
Yeah, ESPN coverage sucks these days. All around. They have no real competition to push them.

I almost always follow NBATV and NFL Network when they have their own coverage.

I don't know if the Kings will draft him but I hope to see Jordan Caroline signed before the end of the night. I know Walton has had his eye on him awhile.

Other than that my top 5 assuming the Kings don't move into Bol Bol territory are:

1. Admiral Schofield
2. Ignas Brazdeikis
3. Daquan Jeffries
4. Talen Horton-Tucker
5. Robert Franks Jr.

It's long since been time get some physical forwards on this team.

My ultra sleeper is Matt Mooney. Dudes an NBA player.
