Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Seems like Okogie is gaining momentum. He's moving up in new Mock drafts too.

Obviously the Kings wanted to find the new 'DeMarcus' and start that whole process all over again. Bagley is another big who doesn't play defense right?

Bagley will almost certainly be the pick if the Kings stay at 2. He actually could lead them in scoring as a rookie........... And Rebounding... why not? If he hits the ground running they can dump Zach Randolph and just take the training wheels off right away.

His fit defensively at Duke was a major issue, he's got plenty of room to improve.. And it's not like the Kings have any stalwart defensive PF's that he's going to be any downgrade from, Skal, Z-Bo, and it remains to be seen what Harry Giles does but reports sound promising.

Call me crazy but I would actually trade #21 for Giles.

The Kings just can't get out of their own way lol

Would hate to trade up for Sexton, Miles Bridges or Brown.

I'd be happy with Miles, but I'm with you on Brown and Sexton.

Well they should've been drafting 7th and hit the lotto, and they dont have a 1st rd pick next year. It's said they are taking plenty of calls though, all reports indicated Vlade was perfectly comfortable in that 7 range... It's probably wise/safe for them to move down..

Lol I wonder if the Kings are smokescreening everyone or if they really hate Luka. The internet scouting amateurs think that it's a smokescreen because they generally don't like Bagley and because Vivek's son posted the pic of Luka at dinner with Vlade/Vivek.

In the event they move down I get the feeling it's for MP Jr.... If it's a smoke screen consider me fooled, I think they like Porter better than Doncic tbh..

Arizona’s DeAndre Ayton appears to be a lock for the Phoenix Suns with the first pick, and Duke big man Marvin Bagley III looks headed for Sacramento, although Bagley isn’t a shoo-in. There’s a segment of the Sacramento front office that’s enamored with Porter Jr, sources tell NBCSportsChicago.com, and things could get tricky over the next couple days.

My trade up targets would be Mikal, Z Smith, Walker, Okobo. Maybe Knox.

One of the Stepien contributors put out his big board, he does a nice job of justifying his picks all the way through 100.

He sums up what I like about Evans and Brown nicely.

Spoiler, he doesn't love Robinson, Hutchinson or DD.

But really likes: Huerter, Okobo, Okogie and Melton.

 

[cowhide]

I like Huerter, Donte, Frazier, Robinson, and Okogie with 21st pick. Hopefully One of them have to be there.

 

[Game6Conley]

But, we are not aware of how high we can get on draft night.”

I'll be testing my limits too D Linds.

Yup, I think it was Givony who said this on the Lowe Post too. He said the Kings weren't expecting to move up to 2 and hadn't really scouted the top guys or something SMH.

Here's my updated draft matrix. I tried to just use some of the more reputable NBA guys. Again, I'd like to make it my own thread, but I can't figure out how to get access to make my own thread or how many posts are needed to it.
