I'm with you. Of course he wouldn't be my first choice but he has been on the radar for 2 years now, does a lot of things well and plays with as much energy as anyone.

Kinda similar to JJ unfortunately, I just dont see any clear cut number 2 in this draft. The second best player could easily be drafted in the 7-15 range. We just need to be the lucky team to end up with that person.


Crazy. If we do slip down badly, I'd take River over Terrence Jones any second any minute any hour any day any month any year any millennium. SMH at y'all seriously thinking of TJ in raps uniform.

Where is Leonard Meyers....

Other prospects were busy leading their top 25 preseason teams to the elite eight. Leonard Meyers was leading Bruce Weber to Kansas State.

It's quite impressive to watch really. Davis impact effects the whole opposing team, it's just insane. I really want us to get the first pick to get rid of our PF who can't do anything unless he's scoring points.

the layups from the kansas guards are so high up on the glass... they may miss the backboard on one

There is just no clear second pick in this draft

I cannot see any reason why Barnes or Lamb could not climb to the second pick over those 2, after the workouts.


Robinson should be clear #2 with MKG as the #3 pick


Disagree. I would say Bradley Beal is #2.

Lol can't dribble? This guy was a division 1 PG 2 years ago, his ball handling hasn't regressed to the point its worse than a typical NBA PF's.

There really is no clear cut BPA after Davis. Hopefully some how we snag MKG.

this isn't necessarily a good thing.
Although I do believe that his offensive game can develop, shotblocking and D don't mean too much in the NCAA; especially when considering number 1 picks.


But this number one pick is the reason why Kansas guards and T-Rob have trouble scoring against at in the paint.

Seriously, another missed (clean) look for Kansas? Unreal.

I'm willing to bet Kings and Wizard would draft MKG at 2nd pick on June 28th.

Ehhh, I like Austin Rivers too , I'm just saying he has issues as well. Can you imagine how many times you would hear "get rid of this checker" if we draft him. Good shooter and is ballsy for sure but not head and shoulders above Terence Jones.

Again not saying Terence Jones is going to be amazing but he will be a solid pro.

Raps may need to take a chance on a higher risk reward player though, we will see

Fred is absolutely right about AD... he is the most valuable player in the game and not even close,

True the Kings already have the scorers (Evans, Cousins, Thorn), so they could definitely use a high-energy hustler!

what is this? Davis can steal and block in the paint, he's a freaking black power ranger in the paint mann.

Johnson had to take off early so Davis would not block that.
