This blows for me. I don't really like any of the guys outside of the top 3. Talent in the 4-10 range is interchangeable. At this point, I think we've got to roll for the dice and draft Sharpe. He's my #1.
#4 is a good spot to get a good Small Forward/Wing. Also, a good spot if we want to trade back and pick up some extra pieces. If we were at #1 or #2, it would be harder to swallow moving the pick. We got some good options at #4, I’ll take it!
I'm not a fan of the fit with Sabonis and Fox. He's a ball dominant offensive player who's a tweener on both ends of the floor. I'm scared that he could end up as Bagley 2.0 in the sense that if he's not scoring, then he's not contributing.

Murray is super active on both ends of the floor. He’s one of those players that have a knack to be at the right place at the right time. Very high BBIQ, Nothing like Bagley
Now to see if he works out for the Kings. If he doesn't want to maybe both Harrison and Domas can talk to him about doing it, "They eventually get you anyway". lol.
IMHO, athleticism is way overrated for basketball. Give me a smart, heady, high BBIQ player like Luka, Steph or CP3 over an athletic pogo player any day of the week (ie Luka over Bagley)! I would take Murray at #4 and be happy!
Kings have been having some good fortune in moving up in the draft. whether it's a pick or a trade, Monte is the one who will either right this ship with this selection or we will be talking about a new GM in the the not too distant future
Pass on Keegan Murray. He's a low ceiling high floor prospect. If we fell to 8 or 9 i wouldn't have minded it but at 4 it's either Ivey, Sharpe or trade the pick and contract for a 3rd core piece.
To be fair, that was Vlade’s pick, not Vivek’s. In fact, I think if Vivek hadn’t been so worried about his rep that he was a meddling owner, he would had made Vlade take Luka. All indications at that time were Vivek wanted Luka, not Bagley.
