Draft: Kings will pick 19th and maybe 49th

[nbrans]

According to Chris Sheridan at espn.com, the Kings won their tie-breaker with Denver and will pick 19th in the draft. Also, as long as Utah doesn't exercise their option on the Kings' second round pick (as a result of the Keon Clark trade) the Kings will also have the 49th pick.

Hard to believe the Kings and Nuggets ended the season with the same record! But good to see they won the ping pong tiebreaker.

Denver is the 3 seed, but have the 8th best record in the west.


So does this mean that Denver, as a 3 seed gets the 18th pick, right ahead of us. That sucks.

Actually, according to draftexpress.com the Kings have the 50th pick in the draft since in the second round the tied teams are reversed, although it's unlikely they'll get the pick. It will probably either go to Orlando (via Utah) or Charlotte.

They say he can play all 5 positions at 7'0 tall. Extremely athletic.

He's weak for PF, raw skillwise and will have to adjust to completely new style of life so he's 2-3 years from contributing.

artest has 30 pounds on him, and he's 7 feet tall.

lol true. I think its pretty cool that he could play all 5 positions. And they also said he might be only 15-17 years old.

sure its cool for a 7 footer to be so versatile, but thats the last thing we need right now. we don't need any more guys who can swing to all sorts of different positions. we need a big who's gonna bang inside on offense and defense, who's gonna get boards and blocks, and generally disrupt the hell out of anybody who shoots in the paint.

i want hilton armstrong!!!!

or josh boone!!!

one of the huskies will do

but i really hope we draft one of those two... both raw but can develop over time and both are great shotblockers especially armstrong...

I remember him from the olympics. Very good player, he has the chance to be something special.

Don't know where did you get this because he has official age of 19 and some question whether he's not 2-3 years older.

Armstrong gambles a lot, Boone stays home.

Well, 6'7 or 6'8...

We need to draft this guy solely because of his name:

[LPKingsFan]

All biases aside (I know the guy, he goes to Stanford) Matt could be a good 4th big man in the Songaila role for the Kings. Good rebounder, hustler, and can hit the outside shot.

 

[VF21]

Songaila role?

Underused, underappreciated and eventually traded away?

Matt Haryasz is going to make it into the NBA? Strange. Well, Stanford and the NBA don't mix too well.

Stanford players in the NBA: Brevin Knight, Jason Collins, Jarron Collins (if he even counts as being in the NBA)... MARK MADSEN...

Don't knock the Cardinal, man.

Casey Jacobsen. Should've stayed in school.
