Kingster
Hall of Famer
You guys act like we were going to be able to select a future HOF with the 12th pick! Please, tell me who YOU would have picked at the 12 that is better than Thompson? The guy put up incredible numbers , albiet in a weak conference...but I somehow remember how a particular SG of ours had the same criticism.
I hear some people wanting Jordan, or Lopez or ( insert any other stiff here). Are you kidding me? Some of you are too much in love with guys that can only dunk. Have you not been watching the NBA? You also needs skills, to become a good NBA player. And I think this kid has skills...and still more room to grow - he's still young!
My dissapointment is less with the pick, more with that fact that the Kings picked at #12, something that they had a great deal to do with by not blowing up this sucker. Second, Petrie has an allergy to making a deal on draft day to move up or get a second #1. He's a plodder.
