Vecenie has him at 48 OOF

Papagiannis energy!

 

[SacTownKid]

Sure but this is also big Papagiannis energy haha

Could be, but that's the gamble. This dude was working over those mediocre college bigs in the combine. Papa G never had those passing and off the dribble skills. He could certainly bust but if he doesn't then he's going to be pretty good.

Yang Hansen was one of the players linked to the Kings at #42. He went way higher than that.

Enter "poking stick at kings logo saying do something gif" here.

If they do something good, cool. But if they don't do anything stupid that's cool too.

Even less reliable when you select Thomas Robinson top 5.

Geoff was just compensating because he was so bad at it.

Four of the last five picks have been centers. I guess "small ball" is now passé.

Let’s get a coupe more surprises to push talent down

Geoff: "the draft is so difficult! How can we ever get better this way??"

:::trades for Kings legend John Salmons and drafts Jimmer, passing on Kawhi:::

Brooklyn absolutely gonna take Kasparas aren’t they?

“I like Dame but I really really like TRob”

 

[sactowndog]

I don’t mind the Kings doing nothing but it is so Kangz to say you are going to, have a draft party, and then send people home with nothing…… haha. It’s a perfect allegory for this team as a whole.

Man, I remember fearing the possibility of those rumors he'd take Monroe over Cuz coming to fruition. I'll give him that. Spared us that day.

Jumping the gun, considering this is now the range we were expected to maybe trade into

But the most persistent rumor was kings trading into the early 20s. That is still very much a possibility
