Kings Appear Zeroed In On Luka Doncic, Marvin Bagley, Michael Porter 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Jun 14, 2018 2:15 pm

The Sacramento Kings appear to be focused on Luka Doncic, Marvin Bagley Jr. and Michael Porter Jr. with the second overall pick.


The Phoenix Suns are widely expected to take Ayton at No. 1.


Porter's draft stock fell due to injury issues during his freshman season at Missouri but the Kings are believed to be very high on him.


The Kings do not own their 2019 first round pick.

Is what teams below the Kings should be saying. If he is healthy, he will be the best player from this class.

I'm not saying he's going to be a bust, I'd just rather pick Doncic, Bagley or even Bamba before him.

"IF" he is healthy. He just cancelled his second workout. You do not draft someone with that big of a question mark at 2. The only way Kings screw this draft up is by drafting someone with a big injury history and they end up with a career injury. We need Luka!

Absolutely. So I would take Doncic if I were in their shoes, I also wouldn’t riot if MPjr were the pick.

I think MPjr at #6 to my Magic is a much better balance of Risk vs. Reward than testing him at #2.

Still, the ceiling for MPjr is higher than anyone else in the draft. Unfortunately, his floor might be the lowest as well.

Sac ownership would fall for the Luka infomercial.
Sheesh. Kings will always be the kings.

What if they trade down for the two Clips picks and use one of them to pick MPJ?

OP: Come on, I wanna see them pick Doncic, neo Yugoslavia, hire Pop as well maybe, and Dragic.

Thanks for the honesty.
