Gotta be Reynaud. They have no center.

Sounds like a super athlete, but can't shoot a lick. Not ideal to pair with Luka

Kings currently only have 11 guys signed on their roster for next season

Domas/Jonas
Keegan/Isaac
Deebo/Nique
Lavine/Keon/TD
Malik/Devin

They absolutely can fit a project onto their roster.

Don’t you mean …..

Domas/Jonas
Keegan/Isaac

Lavine/Keon/TD/Deebo/Nique/Malik
Devin

Looks like we had interest and the cost to move up was just cash. Must have not been a huge priority, I guess

Are you kidding??? I’m laughing my ass off at the absurdity of it all. At this point I’m rooting for another 2 guard.

Or, agents gonna agent?

Bash Monte some more for nostalgia's sake

If we picked for “fit” and what this current roster is, people would most certainly be killing Scot Perry right now lol this front office can’t win with some folks and the offseason hasn’t even really kicked off yet.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Ok there are a couple guys I like still on the board!

As long as you are okay Kings are definitely not a team for the faint of heart haha

Give us a curveball Toronto

I’m not bashing Scott at this point. I’m sure he has some trade planned. We shall see. The roster as constructed is hilarious at this point.

Don't worry, there are three picks left for them to get snapped up!

Who’s 6’7” or taller and can’t shoot?

 

[Tetsujin]

It was a 41 person draft and we have pick 42!

They took a guard!

 

[SacTownKid]

Dang.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Explosive verticality for Alijah

 

[iowamcnabb]

He’s good but we prob don’t need him as long as we keep Carter you son of a gun

 

[sactowndog]

Nah it’s a 42 person draft and player 42 is a SG

As far as I’m concerned, Carter is coming in as a rookie with just a touch more experience and understanding of the game. It’s a full clean slate for me because i have a feeling that shoulder injury was pretty gnarly. Gonna be fun watching him develop.

 

[The_Jamal]

One of Toohey, Proctor, Raynaud if we want them

Both could be that rare 1-3 switchable guard though. Can't ever have too many of those with physical gifts.

Proctor is the phenotype
