I for one am very excited - 42 in vertical leaping possessed guy on defense. I'm gonna love watching Carter foul out playing defense trying to motivate the other Kings players. I just hope he stays healthy.

Summer league will be interesting with Carter, Jones and I assume Keon.

I don't think any rookie has much of a shot playing for Brown. This is the only guy in this draft that I think might crack it though.

This criticism is silly. Nobody at the Kings' pick in this particular draft was going to help the Kings solve that particular problem. Nor would trading the pick in a package to bring back someone like Kyle Kuzma. Better to make the BPA pick, get an absolute dog who could easily top out as a Jrue Holiday-level talent, and work the phones on a subsequent trade that actually does upgrade the wing, especially now that you know you've got a Fox/Ellis/Monk/Carter guard rotation next season. Davion becomes trade bait in addition to Huerter.

I'd be surprised if Keon participates in that

Or a lackluster shooter?
dude was one of the best volume three point shooters in the league last season to the point that it became a meme.

and he's got to beat out Colby Jones first, which is no guarantee

Keegan waves at you.
That doesn't seem unlikely. I'm assuming we keep him, and I can't see Carter not being in the rotation from the jump.
Can I just register my serious doubts about Jaylon Tyson? I see Jordan Poole all over again.

I'm pretty high on Jones. I've thought he has a chance to get meaningful playing time this season, having assumed that Mitchell and Huerter would get traded

also not big on guys who have to change colleges every single year they play

I was pretty high on Jones as a late-first/early-second guy last year. I still think he's a rotation player in the NBA eventually. But Carter has a big dose of "it" that Jones doesn't quite have, so I think he jumps the line.
We need to remind people that PGs routinely outrebound SGs due to role.

He's longer than Mitch Richmond, if that helps make anyone feel better

Once again I feel like the whole height thing is meaningless at this point when we just saw Josh Hart effortlessly outrebound every center in the league and guard every guy on the court as a “pure” guard.
Let's all hope he passes Richmond in all the Kings' record books!

Ya, the tape on this dude immediately reminded me of Hart.

He'll probably get the benefit of the doubt, just based on being the recent high pick "steal"

I was always presented an alternative narrative recently that I've never thought of...
From what we know, do you think Jordan Poole was someone special being nurtured under the Dubs vets, and get literally knocked all the chemistry out of him? Or was he being overrated by being nurtured under the Dubs vets and now being exposed for who he really is?
I hear "Missi" means "bad hands"

So does KZ Okpala, lol. I'm talking in this draft. Very few players top or bottom are cracking the rotation at this point.
But this dude already burned us
I agree not a single player in the draft can solve, but are we closer to solving the problem? I don’t think so.

I'm still surprised Okpala didn't find a place in the league
So, I want to believe the latter, but I don't understand how GS didn't realize this and gave him that silly contract. But yes, the latter.
