Now that we know the draft order, who do we draft? (New thread)

[Kingster]

Hopefully not at #10. At #34, absolutely.

He's going to be long gone at #34.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

He's going to be long gone at #34.

Double long gone.

Now, if we packaged #10 for say Portland's #15 and #20 we could potentially target both Justin Jackson and either Giles/Leaf. Assume (for now) Fox at #5. Grab Mason at #34. Kings draft could have players from Kentucky, UNC, Kansas, and Duke/UCLA.

Great minds on that one. And given that Divac traded down last year, it's not out of the realm of possibility. Spread the risk with more picks and go for the fences.

 

[kingsboi]

I'm interested in the #10 and I wonder if Divac might swing for the fences with Harry Giles.

Depending on who is on the board, I wouldn't mind drafting Giles at all. I've long been praising him and I will continue to do so. Regardless of whether he is a King or not.

Seems like Giles' medicals are better than expected. I could see the Kings targeting him. Sam Amick is also reporting that the Kings are looking for deals trading down from #10 for a later pick and a player. In that case I would love to get Harkless + #15 for #10 and get Giles at #15

 

[Joshoua]

I wouldn't like Ball to fall, and I fear it

I pray LA takes him

 

[Sam0ah]

It seems that Fox or Ball will be there at 5 baring trades and this makes me very happy!

 

[Sam0ah]

I pray LA takes him

I hope He drops! Ball reminds me of a little bigger Jwill and I am sure Vlade wouldn't hesitate to draft him at 5.

Aren't we getting Portlands picks by taking on salary? We have so much salary... or are they going to actually use it on other means?

But, that tweet was concerning for me. So much talent around that number this year

Not for Harkless. He has positive trade value. He is the asset that you take another contract for or trade down for.

I'll be really disappointed if we're dealing #10 to Portland in any deal. Hopefully would just take back cap space for pick (s)

Well, I'd rather trade with Portland and get Giles + Harkless than picking Giles at #10

Ball can't get to the basket and is mediocre in the pick and roll I'll pass

I like Harkless a lot, but he really found a home as a stretch 4 last season. Which kind of mucks things up for us a bit if he's not actually that good at the 3.

Suns shopping Bledsoe.. discussing deal with nuggets and 13

I'm not as attached to Fox as a prospect as a lot of the forum, but I'll feel bad for those who want him if he's not there. And he's a good kid who seems to want to play here

If we could somehow get Jackson and Smith I would be ecstatic.

Damn actually a good trade for both teams

 

[funkykingston]

Sounds like Phoenix is trying hard to move Bledsoe and the Celtics are likely to trade down from 3. I'm prepping myself for Fox and Jackson being off the board when the Kings pick.

I believe it is going to be Tatum for us. For a lot of years we have lacked scoring options, and I am going to convince myself that this makes this a positive thing. It is very much an offensive league these days.

Tatum won't be there... He has less questions than the other guys and just as much upside. He goes three or four imo.

You can say that again!

Double long gone.

Now, if we packaged #10 for say Portland's #15 and #20 we could potentially target both Justin Jackson and either Giles/Leaf. Assume (for now) Fox at #5. Grab Mason at #34. Kings draft could have players from Kentucky, UNC, Kansas, and Duke/UCLA.

Nailed it. Good call.

You dirty wizard.

How about some lotto numbers?

 

[Merdiesel]

Am I the only one really impressed with how this draft class carried themselves? All seem like really good kids.

Nailed it! Now please give me the lottery numbers for next draw!
