What's your pick today? (June 11, 2018)

[VF21]

Somebody said we should have an updated poll on which player is your choice for the Kings at #2. So, because polls are my life...

Choices are listed in alphabetical orrder.

 

[joemama]

Bamb4

 

[Livinthedream]

My choice changes from hour to hour, let alone by the day...

 

[Ozymandias]

 

[SLAB]

Still solidly on the Luka Train.

 

[Ozymandias]

 

[kingsboi]

 

[Iced Espresso]

Still like Luka.

But it would be Kangz to trade down or draft Porter. Where we have no idea if he is going to be healthy or not. Things seldom seem easy for us.

 

[funkykingston]

Is Marin Bagley Marvin's sister?

 

[funkykingston]

Right now I have Bagley and Doncic as 1a and 1b.

 

[gunks]

Luka, not that I'd be heartbroken if he goes 1 and Ayton drops to us.

 

[datamanwes]

I have been watching more videos on players than anytime in the past, My brain says Luka, Deep down I have a feeling we will regret not taking MPJ. I voted MPJ cause I don't want to settle. Either one works for me though. I will take Ayton as well

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Doncic.

Will take Ayton if Doncic not available.

 

[Kingsfan23]

The poll is speaking. Fans have to hope Phoenix indeed takes Ayton

 

[Telemachus]

Doncic is still at the top of my board. However; Bagley & Jackson are right behind. And Porter is with them if his medicals check out.

 

[allrightythen]

I have Luka and Bagley as my favorites and they're really close. I voted Luka by a nose.

 

[jcwkings]

Doncic is the only player at #2 who has the ability/mentality to transform the culture/playstyle of a team. He will make everyone around him better from day one. He will get the best out of the Willie's and Skal's of the world. He is the pick.

 

[roasthawg]

Jjj, has a chance to be the next ad with a Myles Turner floor.

 

[jiimbob]

Tough call, but I'm most intrigued by what Donic can bring to the Kings.

 

[ESP47]

Luka unless there is a trade scenario that I like better.

 

[ockingsfan]

Doncic is my pick at #2. Ayton would be fine too if Doncic goes #1.

My #3 is MPJ (if the Kings own medical staff can clear his back 100%), if we can't get a definitive clearance on MPJ's back, then Bagley is my #3.

 

[gunks]

I didn't think it would be such a landslide for Luka.

The doubters are putting in work in multiple threads!

I figured Luka would be the leader but I didn't think it would be by that big of a margin either. Kinda glad I started the poll and thanks to whomever it was who suggested it.

 

[Entity]

To be honest I’d be happy with Ayton, doncic, Bagley, porter. I think all 4 would make us better. Bamba and jjj a little behind those guys to me. Ayton and Bagley are weapons down low. Doncic is a weapon with all around game. I just think porter could be a force.

 

[jcwkings]

My big board in terms of the top prospects:

1. Ayton
2. Doncic
3. Jaren Jackson Jr
4. Mo Bamba
5. Marvin Bagley
6. Trae Young
7. Porter Jr
8. Wendell Carter
9. Miles Bridges
10. Mikal Bridges

 

[PurpleHaze]

Phoenix makes it easy choice for me. Ayton goes to Kings at #2.

[The_Jamal]

Luka is my top prospect in the draft, not much will really change that at this point. I can't wait to see how a kid who's so skilled and savy on the offensive end at age 19 continues to develop and what he can become. Especially like that he's going to make Buddy/Bogdan/Fox, our 3 most important players, better and continue to further their development.

 

[joemama]

Everyone is acting like we have a glaring hole at sf. You don't take one of the top picks to fill a need. You draft who you feel is BPA.

Was justin as good his rookie year as i thought he would be? No
Did he show well defensively? y
What was his greatest weakness? Offensive consistency
Do i think doncic is a hell of a player? absolutely
Do i think doncic is the best fit with our "young core"? no

Giles is still an unknown.

Am i ready to give up on wcs? Y
His free throws have actually gotten worse!
His effort, motor, and iq are all questionable.

Give us a big who gets 10 boards a night. Give us a big who can block some shots!
What if giles pans out and we go from our 6-7 rebound-a-night bigs in wcs and skal to 10 a night. Wcs and skal do not have the strength to box out effectively, they do not have the strength to play the five.

Am i ready to give up on skal? no
is skal ready for heavy min rn? no

Imho our biggest "need" is some better bigs.
Spend $ on a sf, trade wcs for future pick or back up pg.

This! It's like they forgot ---- You don't pass on Michael Jordan for Sam Bowie because you've got Clyde Drexler!

I actually use that example all the time. Totally agree.
