1) PHX - Ayton
2) SAC - Doncic
3) ATL - Bagley

IIRC Suns hired...Doncic's national team coach. Seems like a disaster waiting to happen. A Doncic/Booker back court on defense :-?

So Sacramento improving is only giving Boston a worse pick right?

Correct.

slightly off I think. They get the Kings pick unless the pick is 1. Then they get the Sixers pick. Will work out the same obviously.

Not that they had the best odds or anything

A high probability that we trade the pick IMO, but excited to see who will be there at 10 regardless. I think it'll be either Bridges, Gilgeous, Sexton if we stay at 10.

Nice! Aside from us winning the lotto or the Kings getting #1 this was the best result we could have gotten. Now along with the second overall pick the Kings will hopefully add some quality vets and worsen their pick for Boston next year.

SAC completely tanked this year so they have no reason to tank. And they were number 7. They will be in the 10-12 range next year

Did ESPN have this wrong?

LAL at 2 or 3 would have gone to Boston.

Cause the pick could no longer fall to 4 or 5 only 2 or 3.

Y’all know Vivek’s watching Trae Young vids right now.

What happens to Fox if the Kings select Dončić? He started for Sacramento in nearly every game...

Seems like there's a consensus top 11 players and We're going to be choosing between Bridges and Bridges....although; We're probably going to trade the pick...and that's fine by me.

Sacto will certainly take Doncic. I assume he will start next to Fox and be their secondary ball handler.

snoopdogg88 · Post #1094 » by **snoopdogg88** » Wed May 16, 2018 12:48 am

the Suns have been waiting for a franchise center for 40 years. they will take Ayton

After the euphoria has worn off I realized I'm putting my trust in Vlade and Vivek to make decent choices this year

They need all the creators they can get. Those two would be great together.

Doncic plays point forward. They would both start and share ballhandling duties.

Can Doncic guard NBA SFs? Assuming buddy still starts with fox.

That's a solid trio to build with.

FireMorey · Post #1099 » by **FireMorey** » Wed May 16, 2018 12:59 am

A lot of Knicks fans want Bridges for some reason. I have no idea why. They need star upside. I think people are overrating Bridges, I'm not even sure I want him on the Sixers if we don't trade the pick.

Exactly. And look hoW much better their team will be next year with that 2nd pick.

..not a fan of this draft outside JJJ, Bamba and Doncic tho

If kIngs ends up with Doncic, I hope they trade Fox. I like the Doncic/Bogdan backcourt. Spacing, IQ triple threat. Then have WCS and some cheap C like Nerlens at 5.

They then can play a high volume 3 game with two playmakers and a roll man like the Nets.

Doncic
Bogdan
Justin Jackson
Skal
Noel

They have money. No incentive to tank. They can add some placeholder players by overpaying them for a year. Nerlens is a good candidate

Doncic and Nerlens would be ideal additions for them. Just need to find stretch 4s like Speights lol
