Welcome Neemias Queta
- Thread starter Tetsujin

Me neither, especially since Spain is right next door and has become a prospect factory for the NBA. It's too early to tell of course but just in terms of my pre-draft rankings this is among my favorite Kings draft classes. Welcome to the team Neemias! All you need to do is punk the Lakers 4 times a year and you'll be beloved in Sacramento forever!
Wow, just watched some clips of him, totally impressed.
He will provide the size to guard the jokic's / valenciunas of the league but what impressed me the most was his footwork and passing.
Man hes got some great footwork , you can tell he's skilled, nice shot too.
I like this pick. Not sure about his perimeter defense though but there's a lot of skill there

Dude wasn't on my radar. But from watching some vids, my initial thoughts:
Pros:
1. Legit size,
2. Not a black hole,
3. Physical.
4. Plays within the team.
5. Has nice touch with that midrange.
Cons:
1. Dude's low post moves need a lot of work. A LOT. Can we put some Sengun film in front of him and show him how low Sengun is on his low post moves?
2. Right hand dominate.
3. Not sure if he'll be able to switch on the perimeter.
Meh: Not an uber athlete, but not a turtle either.
At 39? Why not. Really bummed Jones did not reach the Kings there.

Came to a lot of the same conclusions. Think he'll have a chance to stick more than most of the big "stiffs" because he is a little more athletic and might have *just* enough to not totally get rocked in the PnR. Regardless, one of his strengths is his ability to recover and seems like he uses his enormous length extremely well.
The passing touch was super surprising. I don't think he's Harry Giles or anything, but if he can add a 15-17 foot mid-range, he'll force bigs to play up on him because I think he will be able to hit cutters.

mostly agree with you on this assessment. One other pro that I would probably add is just his feel for passing lanes. He reads lanes well on defense and is surprisingly good at finding people with passes on offense. Not sure how necessary a skill it is for a guy who projects to be a finisher more than an initiator but it’s a nifty skill for a big to have.
To be fair, not sure how much we want to be posting Queta up with three guards like Fox, Haliburton, and Mitchell on the roster.
