It's some risk (how much?) but swapping #10 for #15 and #20 you have one pick of two to take that risk.

My feelings exactly. Completely underwhelmed with two of our three picks but that's the same as last year on draft day for me so I'll wait and see.Meh, I think those were both wasted picks but that's what I expected. It's pretty rare the front office cherry picks the same guys I do. But hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised. At least we got Fox. I can't be mad after that.

I like as the SECOND part of the down trade that got Jackson. Sure big time gamble but big time reward if he pans out.

Even half a C-Webb at @20 would be awesome!

Oh my heavens no... NOOOoooooo!!
with pick 20 instead of 1. Unlike Oden, no rush with him, he can take 2-3 years if needed without playing any NBA game. If he recovers to 90% of what he was before injuries it will be worth it ... and we do not need him any time soon.
I think of him as 2019 draft pick we will not have.

Giles has a nice toolbox of skills, it's on the coaching staff to bring it all out. He plays with relentless energy and his passion is bar none. It will be contagious. Just hope to the basketball gods his health stays intact long term.

I posted the same thing on Twitter but you beat me to it on here, LOL period as soon as I saw the jobs draft immediately thought this is the equivalent of our 2019 pic or the old fashioned European stash pick

We have Hield, Fox, Bogdan, Skal, WCS, Jackson, Malachi, and PapaG. We can afford to take a chance on the guy who was the top HS player two years ago.
I like this answer best.
They still could get Evans....hopefully....

Don't like the two picks at all... Not a fan of Jackson, and not a fan of Giles and his two bum knees... I am wondering if Giles will even play a single game as a King.. We might be paying for him to rehab the whole time he's here. Fox was fine. There were five standouts in the draft and we were guaranteed one of them. I didn't like trading the 10th pick because Collins will probably be better than both Jackson and Giles combined.
I like the Giles pick at 20. No need to rush him, if he pans out great and possible super steal, if not he was the 20th pick. This is the kind of thing a San Antonio type team does or back when we were good made Petrie look so smart.

Kenny Smith just raved about Giles. And I heard another NBA show yesterday where they said they thought Giles would be the steal of this draft, even if he didn't regain his explosiveness. Sometimes you have to roll the dice on greatness instead of opting for sure fire mediocrity.
