who's #9?

Going back for Springer. I think his ability to get into the paint is going to be a bit of an outlier, and he has good enough vision to have a plus drive and kick game and be pretty decent at finding cutters. He also is good at throwing lobs, so I think he can be nice in the PnR, especially with someone in the dunker's spot. Shot also doesn't look broken.

Giddey up!

Sandro Mamukelashvili
just kidding
Kai still underrated here imo

Voted Springer again, been sticking with him after the top 5 for a while now.

Something about Springer’s game is intriguing. Even on a team with Fox and Hail I’d be tempted to take him here and just have a stud guard line and figure the rest out.

A while ago I thought Springer was underrated and would last until the back end of the lottery, where the Warriors could snag him.

Not anymore.

Springer, for me, is the best of the tier 3 prospects in this draft, along with Jalen Johnson and Scottie Barnes. I like Bouknight, Giddey and others, but IMO those 3 are ahead of all of them.

I don’t think we can. We legitimately have an all Journeyman front court with maybe the exception of Harrison Barnes. I see a high likelihood of the Kings picking at 9 so this is an interesting pick. If we are here we have to go Giddey or Wagner I think.

Giddey would need to profile as an all-star to take him with the defensive issues and the state of the Kings defense.

Wagner at that slot could be feasible but the Kings should be looking for the best two way player regardless of position. And if Springer is there it’s possible he is the best two way player available.

Kings aren’t good enough to prioritize anything over talent with a top ten pick.

3 horse race...

Perhaps but I would still shade to a forward and Wagner is a good 2 way player. I think Fox and Hali are our backcourt of the future and don’t see a guard at 9 with enough upside to play over either guy.

A cluster right here for me. I guess i'll say Garuba

You can change my vote to Springer since I am the only one that has Kai if you want to move on to 10
