This isn't directed at you in particular but what's up with so many people giving up on our youngs for a chance at unknowns. Fox didn't have a great season but showed promise. Bogie had a good season also showing flashes and won the rising stars mvp hitting 3s from everywhere. Can we please just let our core gel for a season or 2 before shipping them off for unknown draft picks?
What's your latest top 10? (split)
- Thread starter bajaden
- Start date
Bases on this news story, I think Kevin Knox is a solid top 10 prospect:
i agree. here goes my reasoning. I think Doncic is a better version of Bogie. I think Buddy needs more shots and time. I think we need an alpha scorer. which is why i don't want Doncic alone. I think its redundant to have he and bogie. so if we get Doncic i want a socrer to go with. if we can only have one i want the scorer. the argument is doncic makes everybody better. i get that. but we don't that scorer thats gonna be better we don't have anybody that is gonna get you 17+ on any given night like we had with Cousins and like every other team has. Now Giles might be that guy i have no idea. I think Porter could be that guy. Bagley could be that guy. i was just coming up with an answer so I could get my Alpha scorer and everybody else in here be happy we got a good passer at SF.
You said the guys on The Jump said the reason why we were looking at others is because Luka indicated disinterest. I’m asking you not to say the guys on The Jump said that was the reason, if they were just arbitrarily discussing it could be a possibility instead of discussing it as a fact from their perspective
Here is a recent podcast from Zack Lowe and Johnathan Givony, both very respected insiders.
“JJJ, Bamba, and Doncic are openly try to avoid going to Sacramento”
Here is the link to the podcast. They start to talk about Sacramento around 5min in and then again around 46 mins in.

If Luka does not want to be here. That changes everything for me. I do not want someone who does not want to here. Especially Luka since he knows Vlade and Peja so well. If we draft this kid and he then plays games about coming over or not then that could be disastrous to the Kings not to mention my pwn state of mind. LOL
not a good outside shooter? did you happen to watch any of his games or just look at the stats? guy almost single handedly played minnesota in a game of 3 vs 5 for 12 min when players left the bench during a scuffle. actually made up ground on them and it was all Sexton. Sexton shot 33% from 3pt by comparison freshman years fox 24% buddy heild 25% Otto Porter 35% Jayson tatum 34%.
Here is a breakdown of the podcast

I have a whole new dislike and lack of respect for Givony
While I agree that reputation continues to play a role, and that likely JJJ and Bamba don’t want to work out here, he had no business extending that to Luka
Luka has been complimentary about playing with Bogdanovic. The photo with Vlade/Vivek. Luka imitating Vivek’s hand gesture on social media
Luka from all accounts does want to be here, and most likely will be
But now I know where the latest anti-Kings hysteria stemmed from and the Luka tidbit

It seems like all the chatter is directly sourced back to things that Givony has said publicly. There is some presumption from locals like @carmichaeldave and grant but those don't seem to be strongly stated as Givony. I've always gotten the sense that he has something out for the Kings.
so you mean to tell me that, because Otto Porter, who shot 42% in his second year at Georgetown and Tatum who shot a decent 35% equals Sexton being able to replicate their shooting at 33%? I don't look at numbers. I look at the players shot and arc, Sexton has a flat shot and his form needs work. That doesn't scream shooter to me, let's see how capable he is in the pros and I'll gladly eat crow if he proves otherwise.
I used Porters second year because he played two years in College compared to Sexton, it also shows how much Porter's three improved percentage wise from freshman to sophomore year and with that came double the attempts. Year one he only attempted 53 three pointers compared to 100+. Fox attempted 69 three's, Sexton attempted 131, his stats are going to look better just by that alone. Sexton's strengths are the same as Fox's strengths, they both are fast and attack the rim.
