The Official Draft Day thread

Monk falling to #10 would be great for us -- multiple teams will be calling to trade up.

Here's a first. TV muted, I'm listening to @GrantNapearshow and @TheDougChristie - they know how we fans feel! #ILoveThisTeam #GoKings

DX has Ntilikina back at #8, Monk falling to #13.

Interesting. When DX makes a move on their board at this hour...they've usually heard something.

He will be there IMO

 

[funkykingston]

Going to predict my top ten:

1 - 76ers, Fultz
2 - Lakers, Ball
3 - Celtics, Tatum
4 - Suns, Jackson
5 - Kings, Fox
6 - Magic, Isaac
7 - TWolves, Markkanen
8 - Knicks, Smith Jr
9 - Mavs, Ntilikina
10 - Kings, Monk

I might prefer someone other than another SG, but I have a feeling Monk could be there at ten and it's hard to pass up that talent.

Anyway, nearly time to see what happens!

If that top 7 is really "set" I could see the Knicks taking Monk instead. If they take Smith I'd have to think it's for someone else.

There have been whispers that Phil Jackson might ease up on his demand for the Triangle offense but this feuding with Porginzis just proves how stubborn he is.

Smith isn't a triangle guard.

And I think the Mavs really want Ntilikina. DSJ could be there at 10. Would be nice for the Kings to be able to decide between him and Collins.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Josh Jackson seems like a kid who would also appreciate playing here. Hosted his workouts, met with the team. Although I'm not infatuated with him as a prospect I do appreciate the Sacramento connections

I was typing while you were posting but this jibes with my thought - the Knicks aren't taking Smith. It's Ntilikina or Monk IMO.

Just saw from I believe Ramona Shelburne that Dennis Smith Jr Camp has been guaranteed to be picked up at least 7th. It makes it incredibly important that the Kings get Fox at 5 otherwise all the good point guards may be gone by 10

Sounds like Minnesota trading their pick.

Rumor is that Ainge loves DSJ. Maybe he views him as an IT replacement?

Ooo that's interesting. The Magic then?

 

[hrdboild]

The Mavs are so all-in on Ntilikina at this point that I can see Phil taking him at #8 just cause that's the kind of guy he is.

In the context, DX guy said about being confident only about top 7 with maybe Nitilikina being 8th.
After that it is a guessing game not specific rumor.

Get. On. With. It.

I'm so antsy right now and I just want this over....

Considering breaks between picks, TV commercials, player interviews, etc. - it's going to be awhile for #5 and #10 to be called.

 

[VF21]

Got Twitter, KHTK, KF windows open on my computer. Can't remember the last time I did that.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Let's go! I'm pumped. We can't go wrong there will be at least 1 good player at 5.

Make me proud Vlade!

Very good I'd say... Fox or Jackson!

 

[VF21]

And we're off...

Good luck on that. We've never had a spoiler-free thread in my memory, at least since the twitter era made the picks available before the TV broadcast.

 

[Krunker]

Yep, and why does the first team even need another 5 minutes?

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

This is the first year I haven't followed a draft. I have no idea what's gonna or what should happen. It's kinda fun!

 

[hrdboild]

Yeah but not everyone cooperates. Just don't hit refresh.

My God my nerves are shot

Finally started? Out of country amd relying completely on KF.com for coverage

 

[NewArena]

Loving Vlade's apparent Geoff Petrie-Ism tonight

Move in silence and sit on those hands! Sometimes that's the best move

 

[The_Jamal]

Fultz went 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sac.Kings]

Yes, Fultz went at 1
