2019 NBA Draft thread

Happy for Bol Bol.

Yea Bol Bol aside, this is a poor, poor pick. Obviously it's never a fact he's going to suck, but I have very little hope in this guy.

And why would you have a lot of hope in the 40th pick in a weak draft? I can pretty much guarantee that pick isn't gonna make much difference in how the Kings perform next season. How many second round players are even in the league after a year or two/

I give up...

Bol Bol, Paschall, Jeffries, McDaniels, Roby, King, J. Porter, & Schofield would have all been better picks. Yikes.

 

[Tetsujin]

Did anybody honestly have hope in 2nd rounders? We are not that team anymore

Like we don't even have roster space for our 2nd rounders.

I just googled Justin James and an obscure golfer pulled up. I had to dig deep to even find out how old Justin James is - 22 btw.

 

[206Fan]

Could have signed him as a free agent. Vlade is a moron

I think this goes with my previous assumption that Vlade and Co. don't care about 2nd round picks.

Denver gonna combine Porter and Bol to form one healthy NBA player.

It’s one thing to miss on a pick, it’s another to take a flyer on someone no one else would have drafted at a position you don’t need!

And it's another thing to pick someone that doesn't have much of a shot to do anything for your team considering the other players on the team. If the Kings are determined to pick someone they worked out that people will be scratching their heads over I'm hoping Jordan Caroline is the player they take at 47. At least he has a shot to do something for the team.

It's a second round pick. Even the most amazing scouting departments in the league miss out on 95% of these picks.

At least take a chance on upside, not another Justin Jackson/Frank Mason "safe" pick. We have so many extra 2nds.

Knew it was coming, but it still hurt. Great pick for them. Bol looks very upset.

Its the 2nd Round!!!

Marvin looks like a stud. (Not an obvious pick because everyone and their mom thought we were going with Luka)
Harry looks like he could be an absolute steal at 20.
Willie is a rotation player.

It was obvious to me. You picked between Bagely or Luka. They did that. And Willie was a rotation player that was still picked way higher than he should have been. Again he was considered a reach.

I’m so irritated.

You're not wrong. But why not just take a swing at Bol if this pick isn't going to amount to anything?

Bol - Could be great or out of the league
James - Will be out of the league

Lakers are picking up Lecque, Atheletic PG.....foretold

We currently have no small forwards on the roster. So we pick a shooting guard other teams aren’t even considering

 

[Sac.Kings]

I would have taken Bol Bol at 40 risks be damned. But it is what it is.

2nd round is a lot of guesswork and who knows maybe we wanted more scoring off the bench.

 

[Dime Dropper]

Its the 2nd Round!!!

We likely could have signed James as an UDFA, or at 47/60. People can disagree with passing on Bol's talent at 40, which I'm definitely going to do.

I think it was a poor move by Vlade. No overreaction, it's a second rounder. But I still hate it.

He's 6'7" maybe they project him to see some time at SF.

Roby just went bye bye

 

[Kings_of_California]

Denver ended up getting Bol. Their medical team reportedly just quit.

It also speaks to value evaluation. It's one thing to pick someone you like but for goodness sakes, take a trip outside of the bubble. That bubble has done you wrong before.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Roby gone. Saw some Kings fans hoping for him.

Relax!

But super thin. Will need to put on lots of muscle

I appreciate trying to find value by picking injured dudes but two years in a row is a bit much.

Getting an injured dude with such talent at 40 is well worth the risk. If it was another lottery pick? Then it would be much.
