What do you want the Kings to do with the pick? Keep it? Trade it? Who do you want?!
Can they trade the pic to Atlanta?
Last time I checked kings aren't noted for developing players too well so I would say pass on drafting a kid & try to move the pick for a solid 3 & D player if possible if not the kid from Colorado named Cody Williams might be a wise pick if he's available that is
What good is #13
As an outsider, as long as you get a Big either by keeping it or trading it your team needs a legit big. No offense to Sabonis but he's not right to be Center especially against the other Centers in the West. He'll be a great 4 with a Big. Look at at Towns And Gobert, look at my Dallas team when they stack Maxi with Lively/Gafford. The NBA is heading back now with Bigs and not Small ball anymore. I also hope y'all can get a PG. Cause FOX game is a scoring guard there are times he's lost and not making plays trying to involve everybody, let him focus on scoring
Hey let me get your honest opinion on us trading for Dajounte Murray. I thought it would be a good fit, but I would to hear from the BASKETBALL MIND! (Or Morgan I guess)
The Kings desperately need length, size, and esp a dawg, a bully who does not mind doing the dirty work like Josh Hart's heart, energy, rebounding, or a Dennis Rodman type of player who gets in the best player's face. There are way too many nice guys on this team. They need some ATTITUDE!
I think the kings will keep the pick and take Jakobe Walter if he’s still on the board. If not, they take Jared McCain. Check out the tape 👀
pick 13 and HB for Kuzma
#13 for CASH CONSIDERATIONS and dump a contract (basically same as last year) then shop FA with a bag.
They should trade it to the Mavs lol.
This team needs wings give me Triston da silva or Tyler smith would rather have ether of them over any guard
Bam, Jonas, PG, or Isaiah
If the kings believe monk is leaving jerrod mccain from duke would be an ok replacement, hes nowhere near the same athlete. Other options if were confident we can keep monk are is tristan da silva out of colorado averaged 16 and 5. When im watching him i sorta get the keegan murray vibe, but hes a smaller frame, and has a bit more explosiveness on the defense side of the basketball, plus hes a senior, 22 so he fits the monte mcnair prototype. But my draft crush is Kel'el Ware, or as i like to call him Kal-El as in superman baby. This guy had his stuggles at oregon, but he transferred to indiana this year. He's a 6'11 240, crazy atheltic, shot blocker, rim roller type, averaged 15 and 10 this year. but my main attraction, improved to a 42% 3 pt shooter on 1 per game this season. A lot of times at Indiana he was played in drop coverage but if he can develop into an on the level defender in the pick and roll on the perimeter he could be an interesting fit next to sabonis. You know When sabonis is doing those dribble hand offs and barnes is the one doing those post ups, imagine if it was this guy. Now he's no shaq but he can capitalize on mismatches. But yeah i'd say those are 3 names to look out for as we delve deeper into the offseason.
Tyler smith from the g-league
Draft SF
DaRon Holmes is one of my favorite options, he's a stretch big who can add the rim protection that Sabonis lacks at the four or can comfortably play backup 5 while keeping the playmaking abilities that he brings to the starting rotation.
Tristan da Silva is another great pick, as is Tyler Smith if you want to blend fit and upside a bit. He's not as good defensively as might be desired, but he's a great scorer and has some playmaking chops.
The (potentially likely, at least) player that I least want the Kings to draft is Tidjane Salaun. Politely, he's raw and has a lot of development left, but honestly… he just looks _bad_.
