Who are we kidding? This is absolutely the guy we are gonna end up with. We will be mad come draft time, saying our tank should've been better then we actually see him play and overrate him. Then trade him in a package for Jabari Parker.

Lol I actually like this kid from the limited amount I've seen. I think his name'll start buzzing more and more as the year goes on.

I wonder if we are the only fan base that currently has Doncic as the runaway preferred choice among the Top 2018 draft prospects.

Fam we been talking about Bonga since like Page 1. There is even a Bonga Brigade. Hopefully he improves his stock with strong play this year. I like him alot.


i'm not participating in this thread until he's a poll option. it's strictly bonga brigade for me these other prospects are pipe dreams.


Added Bonga for you (and the rest of the brigade :lol: ).

Until we get a better look at how our team is going to do, I'm still under the impression we're going to be one of the 3-5 worst teams, which would put us in the running for Doncic. We need him on this team.

From what I've heard Vlade is very high on Doncic and so are Kings fans, at least the ones that I speak to.

They won't be in the running for him, fortunately for us

Unfortunately for us, I don't think we will be either

I'd be happy with Bonga if we can't get my other top guys, I'm just hopeful we'll be pretty bad this year (at least I am currently) - I'm personally hoping for 0-82 and losing every game by 1 point. :lol:

My dude why we have to ask. Half the players up there people never asked for to be included. You saw us speaking about him. Its not rocket science Just add the dude. Did anyone ask for Bagley? no. You added cause its a player you like. Anyway its not that serious. If you can't tell it was damn joke.

There was like 2 people talking about bonga. That don't mean anything. Bonga is like a mid- late first round pick, that's why I never even added him in the first place. I added bagley because he's a serious top pick... like most of the ones in the poll. And dude was the main topic of the week anyways.

Ask if you want him in the poll. To me I don't think he's serious enough to be in it but if y'all felt like it then ask and I'll do it.

Who gives a fucck about that. Thats not the point as of right now, as they are both slated as Mid to late Round Picks, and neither one in the Lotto in the current scheme of the most recent mock. yet Troy Brown is on the poll. by even asking me this proves you are injecting your own bias into the mix of who makes it on the Poll, unless they ask you. Issac Bonga was debated and talked about alot in this thread. You knew posters liked him....so he was no mystery. Only two people talked about him according to you,but he already got 4 votes the minute he was added. That did not come out of thin air. Other posters are even asking others about him.

So now we only stand by ESPN latest mock? SMH
That's the same mock that doesn't even have Kevin Knox in the first round.

In fact I don't even care what mocks currently say. At this point, it doesn't mean much. I just picked guys who I think are lottery bound. Bonga does not stand out as them. That is why I didn't put him there. If I really wanted to be bias then I would've put Darius perry in the poll. I talked about him heavy already. So cut this bias bull out.

Before yesterday who was talking about bonga? All I remember was you and tron. So stop it. You wanna talk about being biased? I can say you are then. You already actin as if bonga is going to be the pick. Don't tell me I'm biased. I'm not the one telling everyone we not gonna get any of those prospects and bonga is the only guy that will be in our range.

This is going no where and this is my last response

you dont even make sense. Just because you dont remember who was talking about it dont mean it was only two people :lol: . Him having 4 votes proves it was more than two people speaking about him or even interested in him. Where the fuccck is the schit load of People speaking on Troy Brown??? .So basically you are admitting its WHO YOU think is lottery bound.


Second of all how the fucck am I acting like he is the pick. GTFOH with saying that. Wanting Bonga on the poll means none of that. If thats case every players thats wanted on the Poll will be the pick. Like I said from the first response to you. It aint even that serious ****, was a Joke.
