Better defender than kev. Infact his nba comparrison is actually doug Christie

He honestly reminds me of Max Christie

 

[hrdboild]

I guess we're doubling down on trying to lead the league in rebounding?

 

[sactowndog]

lol he is a wing, dude.

He is an undersized 3 if you play him at 3.

wow. We got protections on it?!!!

Nice, THAT's how you trade into the first round. Not with youth.

I'm confused, we had the unprotected SAS pick right? So we added protections?

Shocked that’s all it took to get Presti to give us a pick especially for a dude who is pretty much the perfect Thunder player.

GREAT TRADE

Yep. So if the Spurs happen to suck, we keep the pick and if they’re good and the pick sucks, it goes to OKC

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Given what the Spurs got today I think that is a good trade especially with top 16 protections. Plus it is more reason to root even harder against the spurs. lol.

Nice to win that one right off the bat

Scott Perry, I must apologize. I was not familiar with your game.

Doug was a two guard. Look I am not bashing the kid. I’m just struggling to understand why this team can pick only guards. We are not playing in an under 6’6” league.

Not a bad gamble. I used to fall in love with the Colorado type but Bey broke me. lol. Colorado St. and Colorado archetype I mean to say.

 

[Makaveli]

Am I the only one that finds is crazy that this guy projected too 20 even worked out for us? As far as I know he was the only one

Be honest, have you watched a single minute of Nique Crawford this season?

 

[Tetsujin]

TDS has worked out well though and Nique is very much in that mold.

 

[TaxMan]

Cool. I’m not going to pretend to know anything about him. Glad I have a rookie to root for. Always good to dream that we picked the steal of the draft.

 

[AaronPDX]

Have to admit, I'm shocked. That's actually a GOOD trade with those protections. Wow.

If Ainge took the dude, it’d be another instance of the Fleece Master cooking though

Yeah, the second he praised the Walter Clayton pick, who's like THE quintessential Monte pick, he told on himself.

Regardless, fun to get a FRP at a low cost.

Bash Monte some more for nostalgia's sake

 

[Makaveli]

He replaces Keon and Keon replaces monk. Monk??? TBT

 

[Tetsujin]

Sorry Saraf fans. NETS JUST TOOK HIM LOL

For sure. The Kings will probably get dumped on for turning Fox into this guy or some dumb ****. lol.

Game Theory dudes said he's very comparable, smaller, but more disruptive and better on defense.

Sounds good to me.

Bro would take a 6’9 negative skill and IQ guy over a 6’6 hooper

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Game Theory bros comp him to a smaller TDS, but better on defense.

Very nice

I’m not picking up on your player acronym.

Also a better passer for whatever that’s worth.

Tristan Da Silva. Who a lot of us liked last year.

Quick glance around, seems like a quality wing, with real on-ball skills, can shoot it, defend multiple positions. Older and a late break-out, is why he fell to 24.

 

[TaxMan]

Looks to have good size and bulk to him. Maybe I’m just not used to seeing us draft a guy like this so it’s a bit jarring.
