Porzingis went 4th to NY, he never was an option for Sac. Pointless question.

You'd have to consider Mudiay, Johnson, Kaminsky, and Winslow for legit criticism over who Kings "should have" drafted... At this point none of these players are standing out so I'd say it's too early to tell 20 games in.

Oh snap, I forgot that Porzingis went 4th! For some strange reason, I thought he went after the Kings pick..

In that case, WCS is the right pick for the Kings, then!

The knock on Porzingis not being able to contribute early never clicked with me because he's been playing pro ball already. You still have to worry about his frailty long term though. There are times he's looked like a baby giraffe taking it's first steps out there.

I like Willie, but another name on that list of could haves should be Winslow. He's been a lock down potential wing from day 1. The stats aren't great and I'm not sure his lack of shooting wouldn't have kept him on the bench in Sac but yeah, that switch defense would sure look nice with Justise Winslow in it. Then again, it would with Willie too if they actually let him you know, switch more?

And just for the record, I wanted Winslow but knew you couldn't take anyone over Porzingis and not more than likely come out looking like a fool in 5 years.

Winslow worked out for teams slotted 4/5/7/8 with us selecting 6. Mudiay, for example, refused to workout for all non top 5 teams, Winslow specifically for the Kings. Not that you can blame him as a kid I mean his agent probably wasn't feeling the drama around the team

He's an interesting name but we have Gay/Casspi there. This class though is strong it looks like
