The Official 2018 NBA Draft Talk Thread 6/21

[str8up]

This is not me shytting on Bagley. If he goes #2, as a Kings fan I'd say they failed miserably last year in the draft. If I'm WCS, get me the hell outta there. If I'm a Kings fan and Vlade or whoever tries to sell me on Harry Giles or Skal, I'd kindly tell them to get the fukk outta here. They passed up Collins, Mitchell, Monk, Kennard and Bam because they felt like Giles was gold. Doncic has fit issues too there (I genuinely feel like this is one of those years where they wish they weren't picking so high), but if they're selling a long term dream of

C Bagley
PF Giles
SF Bogdanovic
SG Hield
PG Fox

if they all pan out, it's still an awful defensive team

Giles will probably still have to play the 5 I think. If they took Bagley it would be better to put him at the 4 and just keep WCS starting. Not a fan of Skal either.

I agree with plenty of their picks, but that shyt was straight outta left field. I know they looked at him, but if Porter's gone and they don't want a center then take Mikal Bridges.

I'm working on the mock now, but between now and draft night, pretty unlikely I change #1, #13, #21, #22, #27 and #28.

As a Cavs fan I want Either bridges or Knox reasonable dream scenario is Trae Young falls

Not impossible that Young falls.

Word is the Cavs prefer Sexton though

Porter to the Kings makes the most sense considering what they've invested in. I just think Porter at 2 is a reach all things considered. Sacramento's problem is that I don't see Atlanta or Dallas moving up for Doncic and Memphis doesn't have the pieces to move up.

It's not the first time Sacramento has disregarded the big board.

As they should. fukk the media's big board. Go with who you think is the best. OKC did that and ended up with Harden and Westbrook. Durant being a no brainer so I won't mention that one.

They got us taking JJJ. These white boys who love analytics will be nowhere to be found if these guys bust. But the 1st to claim excellence otherwise. fukk em'!

Sacramento did that and wound up with Stauskas. Sometimes you need to be saved from yourself.

Whoever the kings draft there will be backlash...

Bagley (not 6'11(peja was taller than him, shooting stroke62% at the line nh,defense)
Luka (athletic ability vs nba length..improve form)
MPJ( his back/ his handles)

Dumb Cavs again

from 16? I don't know who takes that pu pu platter from Phoenix to move into the top 7 (this is where I try to give Orlando some credit)

Suns have plenty of assets
