Fox, Jackson, Giles — big haul for the Kings. And they may bring Bogdan Bogdanovic over. “He’s the best shooter in Europe,” one exec said

I've never been happier with a kings draft. The future is bright!!

when do we find out if bogdon is coming over?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Swanigan is going to be really good, worse version of Boogie. Turner + Swanigan for Afflalo

Given who they drafted I think they'd be looking to move Leonard. Blazers radio on the drive while I was trying to find the draft was actually talking about Collins and saying "let's hope he's not Leonard 2.0" (though their lead analyst said that was unfair)

I read somewhere that it was going to be in July that he would sit down and begin negotiating but maybe someone knows and more specific date than that

I thought he said July 1. Is that the start of Free Agency? I feel like it's 90% he's coming over but he needs to be cool about it in case he doesn't and so that he gets the best offer from the Kings.

I thought he said July 1st he'd be ready to negotiate.

If Mason drops to us.....................

Perfect!

Isn't that the smallish guard scorer guy we worked out twice?

Yes

 

[Gary]

Isn't that the smallish guard scorer guy we worked out twice?

I think so... I was liking him or Jawun Evans. And no, not trying to bring back someone who could be an IT.

 

[The_Jamal]

Is Giles a big project just based on his knees or is it because of his play as well? I didn't really get to see him play much.

A little of both, but mainly it's his injury history. Had he been healthy, he had the talent to be an easy top 5 pick along with the measurables.

 

[lwc]

Only three teams in front of the Kings if they want to take Frank Mason at 34.

 

[theclash4u5]

We could potentially have a pick between either Mason or Bell

 

[Kingz19]

He looks like a Spur

 

[Entity]

I need schooling on bell.

 

[ovrush]

Can't believe Semi Ojeleye is still on the board here. Would love it if we get another 1st round talent with 34.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

We could potentially have a pick between either Mason or Bell

Ojeleye would be sick

 

[Sac.Kings]

Justin Jackson is growing on me. From everything I am reading and seeing, he's the glue guy on a team, but is also a very smart player. He's the guy that's going to make the right play every time and is talented to boot. He will be valuable in a different way and every team needs a guy like this.

Every single player we picked is of the ultimate character. It's no longer just talk. Our entire team is filled with these type of guys. I couldn't be happier about that!

 

[funkykingston]

If the Kings finished this draft with Ojeleye I'd be stoked.

Sign Bogdanovic and Milos Teodosic and a couple third stringers and let's roll.

Agreed, shocked how well it's gone. I was hoping for Swanigan at 34, but mostly because I couldn't imagine Semi being available.

 

[Kingz19]

Dwight Howard is officially a journeyman at this point

 

[SLAB]

I think this Deputy Commissioner guy is actually a robot.

 

[ovrush]

I also wouldn't be upset at another lotto ticket G league stash in Jonah Bolden. Lot's of talent there.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Never really liked him, but I do feel bad for him. I always knew once injuries set in, he would be ineffective. Relied too much on his athleticism and once the back went...

 

[funkykingston]

Good pick by the Hornets.

I think Frank Jackson will be a very good backup PG

 

[The Hammer]

Is Giles a big project just based on his knees or is it because of his play as well? I didn't really get to see him play much.

Knees only.

Was #1 rated HS prospect in 2016. Top 5 pick if healthy.

 

[biltalent]

Evans, Bell, Oyeleye, Iwundu, Anigbogu all on the board. Theres some real talent here.

 

[Sac.Kings]

By the way, has there been any official statements from Vlade or anyone on the Kings side?
