Where did I say that? I'm saying their history in doing so is terrible and it is. And this situation is unique because like when some of those other players were drafted they had chosen someone to build around already, just like now. When you do that and the talent isn't a guaranteed universal this franchises record and any for that matter is going to be spotty at best.
Which makes me wonder which of them have actual Intel from teams. Most have Moody in the mid-to-late teens at this point.
I know Baja loves Moody. I prefer Wagner.
I can also easily see a scenario where Wagner and Sengun are both gone at 9. 1-4 go chalk. The Magic take Barnes (also chalk at this point I guess), OKC grabs Bouknight, GS takes Wagner, Orlando nabs Sengun as a Vucevic replacement rather than yet another athletic wing with shooting issues and the Kings have to decide if Kuminga is worth the risk.

It follows from what you've been saying. Every skilled big since Spencer Hawes has been a failure which you gave as a reason not to draft Sengun. Then you labeled Bagley as a skilled big which pretty much implies any first round big is a "skilled" big so it follows that because of their terrible history the Kings shouldn't ever draft a big again.
These aren't my arguments. I'm just trying to follow your thought process.

Yeah, I'd honestly prefer that Kuminga be off the board so it isn't a decision the Kings have to make. He's all physical skills and upside right now which makes him the most boom or bust of the lottery picks IMO.
Great if the Kings were to get a star two way wing but of all the teams in the NBA Sacramento can least afford another draft bust at this point.

Which means Orlando would grab Suggs. Kuminga is still their kind of wing but at a certain point you'd think they'd realize that drafting big, athletic wings that can't shoot hasn't panned out for them.
That's the interesting thing about pick 8. Kuminga is their type but their type has kept them in the lottery.
Barnes to Toronto is a weird fit if they don't trade Siakam.
