The Official SPOILERS 2022 NBA Draft Thread

[Turgenev]

People talking about his age but he's still got a baby face!

 

[206Fan]

eh, I'm not mad at this pick.

 

[Padrino]

IMO, the kings aren’t maximizing this pick. I would have thought they could have turned 4 into some serious payment

Takes two to tango, as always. All reports suggest that Monte set the price at "serious payment." Other teams weren't biting. In that event, take your guy and go home. Don't f*** about with the asset just to make a move.

 

[est.1999]

Wtf man

 

[LPKingsFan]

I’m assuming we don’t trade for Collins now?

 

[Sluggah]

They asked for a serious payday. No one offered. C'est la vie.

 

[AaronPDX]

Passing on Ivey was stupid. This is going to come back and bite someone.

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

Curious to see how empty the arena gets when we still aren’t in the playoff picture and Ivey is looking like a future star.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Did Kendra Perkins just say the Warriors won “because of Andrew Wiggins”

 

[Tetsujin]

I've been a Murray stan since the start of the NCAA season so I am pumped with this choice.

 

[Spike]

"The wing is the most important position."

I'm here for it.

 

[est.1999]

Pistons get Ivey for free.

 

[Section 101]

I’m assuming we don’t trade for Collins now?

Dont think we ever were.

 

[The_Jamal]

Let's
****ing
Go

 

[est.1999]

Monte failed HARD here

 

[kb02]

The Kings drafted a 4/3 version of Harrison Barnes with the fourth pick. LOLZZZZZZ.

 

[Tetsujin]

People like to talk about Keegan's lack of a great first step but they neglect to mention how he'll look better in NBA spacing.

 

[Spike]

Pistons get Ivey for free.

Assuming he was their first choice. We could easily be drafting Ivey at 5, having lost Murray at 4.

 

[Dime Dropper]

Welcome Keegan. Would have gone with Ivey but Murray was my second choice. He should be the more ready of the two to contribute and obviously is the better fit on paper. Let's see if Monte got it right.

 

[Spike]

The NBA is all about dunks now. Nevermind a guy who does all the little things this team will need to win.

 

[KainLear]

I like this pick a lot. Big wing who can shoot and defend, mature and smart.

Who most importantly is being punished for being older and not flashy. This will make next season very interesting in our overall defense and spacing.

 

[Tetsujin]

Assuming he was their first choice. We could easily be drafting Ivey at 5, having lost Murray at 4.

The Pistons traded their stretch forward and made a huge gaping hole for Keegan to fill. I don't think their Ivey choice was as clear cut as people think.

 

[Section 101]

You know you’re old when one of your rookies’ kid gets drafted. Congrats Jabari’s both junior and senior.

Sic

 

[Tetsujin]

The Pacers are locked on Arizona's Ben Mathurin with No. 6, sources tel ESPN.

Ooh. Pacers going with the no-defense strategy.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Keep telling yourself that garbage. This will come back to bite us in the ass. Wouldn't expect any less from kings

Keegan is an absolute dog and clutch as hell. This ain't a Bagley scenario.

 

[SacTownKid]

The Kings drafted a 4/3 version of Harrison Barnes with the fourth pick. LOLZZZZZZ.

If Ivey turns into a stud and the Kings aren't a really good team next season, it's over for Monte. If it comes out that Monte wanted Ivey and Vivek wanted Murray it's over for all of us, lol.

 

[sauce-26]

Sometimes the pick that isnt sexy is the best pick. This pick says a lot about how they feel about fox

 

[Tetsujin]

My dude, you spent the last couple of years riding MBIII's jock so why don't you just follow him and Ivey to the Pistons. No one would blame you.
