Official Draft Day Discussion - NO SPOILERS ALLOWED

[funkykingston]

Napier going crazy about kissing Cousins a**! Dan Fegan isn't running the Sacto Kings. Nothing in Cousins contract where you have to pet his head! ....Enough of this nonsense! If Demarcus truly doesn't want to play for the Kings, Vlade Divac doesn't have to trade him! I'm more inclined to go with a George Karl resume! George Karl is the coach, Bratz is the GM and Vlade is running the basketball team....George Karl is not running the Sacramento Kings. Fans wanted Karl, now that don't. Now we hear Karl doesn't want Cousins! Who cares! Demarcus played the best basketball of his career once Karl came on! Everybody needs to shut up and do their jobs! Ok?

Always love the irony of Grant telling everyone else to shut up.

Looks like Orlando will be live streaming their war room on NBA.com

Should be interesting since they pick before right before us. Winslow rocks!

Always love the irony of Grant telling everyone else to shut up.

The way I look at, if the franchise is a laughingstock, you might as well participate in a good laugh!

What time is Pick 1 scheduled for? I know coverage starts at 5:00, but is the pick 5 minutes later?

It starts at 4 pm Pacific time, according to google.

The draft show starts at 4. I believe the Wolves are on the clock starting at 4:30

Agreed.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

At what point will "ongoing draft/lottery discussion" thread be closed in favor of this one?

Modding

It won't. This thread is being kept spoiler-free, so the other thread will remain open for the benefit of anyone who can't resist the urge to post the picks as soon as they pop up on Twitter.

EDIT - In fact, let me tend to a little piece of business, right now...

 

[Mass]

I haven't changed my mind. I wanted WCS, and I still want him. That's my pick. I could live with Mudiay. I would be ok, but not so happy about Hezonja, Winslow and Porzingis.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

im going to sit back and enjoy/assess this draft pick with the mindset that DeMarcus Cousins will still be on the roster in October

 

[ElRey]

Okay for those who are watching it right now...has it started yet? !

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Okay for those who are watching it right now...has it started yet? !

The actual draft starts at 4:30

 

[HndsmCelt]

A lot of talking. Not yet.

 

[John Galt]

watching the Magic live war room - wish it was the Kings this year that would be just killer!

 

[PurpleHaze]

If Kings keep #6 pick (big question) I think it's most likely down to this order:

Cauley-Stein
Hezonja
Kaminski
Winslow
(to me it seems none of them should go so high and therefore trade down likely better option)

 

[VF21]

This is easily the most interesting draft day I've EVER had as a Kings Fan....I don't think we will ever see something like this again.

Don't ever challenge "ever"...

 

[John Galt]

Kaminski at #6 would ignite a riot. Please God don't let it happen

 

[VF21]

General Announcement: I freaking hate ESPN with a passion formerly reserved solely for a team from Southern California.

 

[Dime Dropper]

OK, if we stay at 6, here are the guys I'd be happy with:

1a. WCS / Mudiay
1b. Hezonja / Winslow / Porzingas

Don't want Kaminsky, certainly not at 6.

 

[VF21]

I still like Kaminsky, but if we get him it will be with a drafted player swap.

Thinking happy thoughts

 

[Gary]

Oh goodness.. You don't want him... When he gets 10mins a game, which is most likely what he would get here, we would have a 2ppg 2rpg player from the 6th pick. Guarantee he's not going to be any better than a 10ppg bench scorer in the league.

 

[Amit149]

Minnesota is going to surprise everybody and take Kaminsky first and solve this for us...

Just stop. Or at least pay attention. I didn't say we'd get him with the 6th pick. I said we'd get him by drafting someone else at the #6 and trading down (I said swap) for him.

I totally disagree with your assessment of him, BTW. We'll just have to wait and see how he does.

 

[VF21]

No, no. The Lakers will draft him and then trade him to us for Cousins. Haven't you been listening to all the rumors?

 

[PurpleHaze]

I'll be ok with Frank Kaminsky III as long as we've traded down to land him.

 

[VF21]

Okay, here we go. And remember, NO SPOILERS!!!

That's the argument. Not where he would be drafted but that I disagreed that he's not going to be any good in the NBA. I never challenged you in regards to him being picked 6th or whatever. It's a general assessment.

 

[VF21]

It's KAMINSKY.
