RealGM 2017 Fan Forum Mock Draft - SAC #10

[Sactowndog]

Provided the Kings get a PG at #5, I'd only look to trade back at #10 if Ntilikina were the BPA. I'd take Markkanen in a heartbeat. Think of the fun it would be to watch offensive possessions with Buddy, Bogdanovic, Markkanen, and Skal spacing the floor for Fox to operate. That team would be a ton of fun to watch. Sure there would be defensive concerns, but it is so much easier to get defensive oriented wings in FA than elite 3 pt shooters.

So, if Markkanen were the BPA at #10 and the Kings were still looking at a glaring lack of SFs, I'd prefer to take Markkanen at #10 and then try to address SF on the trade market or in FA. Kosta Koufus for Moe Harkless? Cap space for DeMarre Carrol or Solomon Hill? I'd prefer those deals to adding 2 additional rookies to an already young team.

I posted this is another thread but it's a better fit here. I wonder how Laurie, Skal and Willie (Last names to darn hard to spell lol) would fit offensively and defensively.

On offense, it seems like a good fit. Laurie and Skal space the floor with Willie setting picks and rolling.

On Defense, who is athletic enough to guard the 3? Can Willie? If he slides out who's big enough to guard the post?

You thinking those 3 on the floor at the same time 3-5?

Well as long as the center is not a brusier I guess it could work. But no way Skal can guard the hefty 5's right now and WCS could guard the 3 though.

I'm taking OG or trading back. I don't see drafting Collins as an option unless we are planning to move WCS.

Otherwise we have a Philly situation on our hands and Id say that turned out pretty disastrous for them. They coulda went Justice Winslow or Stanley Johnson both of whom wouldn't have been the biggest reaches and been in a better position than taking Okafor. Hell even drafting Mudiay or Mario would have been better and who knows how those guys career turns out in Philly.
