2020 NBA Draft Thread (Twitter spoilers friendly)

trade back for Bey

I haven't watched much tape on Haliburton since I didn't think we had a shot.

A lot of you guys are comparing him to Christie but I don't think he's known for those types of defensive chops.

What do you guys think about a Caris Levert comparison?

 

[Kingz19]

Yep.....now Donte would make a heck of a lot of sense with those two guys.

Terrible take by whoever it was talking (Jay Williams?) saying he's a great pick in case Fox doesn't want to be here. I don't think he realizes that Haliburton isn't a 6'1" PG.

Or that Fox is under Kings control for about another 5 years

 

[Tetsujin]

Same, I never considered he'd be available.

The second the Bulls took Williams I had a small inkling but I never thought Haliburton would be the guy to drop

 

[Section 101]

Looks like a perfect glue guy with upside. Worst case scenario we end up with a Francisco Garcia type.

Oh crap he just tripped over his own foot and broke it.

He has a similar physical profile to Christie, maybe a little less sturdy, and is a SG who is really more of a PG. Defensively he's not a slouch but offensively he's probably a little more capable than DC was.

The exercise ball popped

OKC moving up to #17 to take Poku ahead of the Mavs. . .

they had Zion leaving NO 2 minutes after he put the hat on espn has no shame

 

[jcassio]

If we still manage to pull off the Bogi trade, Fox, Haliburton, Donte is a heck of a backcourt rotation.

Wait - do you know something about Buddy that we don't know?

 

[Section 101]

The exercise ball popped

His first rule is don't jump to get the stuck ball between the rim and backboard.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Haliburton is an exceptional playmaker. Fantastic basketball IQ.

His shooting form and frame concern me but I think at the very least he'll be a good role player who has the chance to be a lot more.

Yeah, his shot looks quite odd. But apparently he makes it at a pretty good rate. If that holds at the next level, IDC what it looks like.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

And I know we're getting into the mid-teens now, but I want to point out that our resident college basketball expert Bajaden believes Haliburton is the NUMBER ONE player in the draft. Not the number one player for the Kings at 12. The. Number. One. Player.

Bogi is like 230 pounds though. That makes a difference. Haliburton has tenacity though and he's going to need it.

Wut?

 

[funkykingston]

Stewart to Detroit

 

[dude12]

Not going to lie but it’s weird that the Kings actually took the consensus best player available. I mean, last few years we are probably taking someone for fit

 

[KainLear]

Unrelated note: Haliburton is a cousin of former basketball player Eddie Jones.

 

[Tetsujin]

Wut?

Fat Bogi

 

[Suicide King]

Oh crap he just tripped over his own foot and broke it.

I always remember VF21's tagline that said ( paraphrasing) The kings had a shot and Garcia peed all over it.

If we’re being fair, Vlade probably takes Poku.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Stewart to Detroit

Love seeing him outperform his mocks. He's a beast.

 

[SacTownKid]

Stewart to Detroit

Damn! Even Pistons go with Big Ben Jr!

 

[jiimbob]

Happy day. And I was hoping to trade Buddy to Atlanta for a shot at Haliburton.

 

[joemama]

Bey and Precious are still on the board

 

[King in England]

And I know we're getting into the mid-teens now, but I want to point out that our resident college basketball expert Bajaden believes Haliburton is the NUMBER ONE player in the draft. Not the number one player for the Kings at 12. The. Number. One. Player.

I’m nowhere near the draft expert of Baja but I had him number 3 on my big board behind Hayes and Wiseman. Could not be happier with how this worked out for the Kings.

 

[Tetsujin]

Also Fox/Haliburton will kill in Gentry’s D’Antoni-lite system if Walton lets him run it.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

People said the same thing about Bagley and Doncic.

Straight truth.

Are you speculating or Twitter?
