Sacramento and reasoning are two words that don't seem to belong in the same sentence.

Getting all three of Bender, Chriss, and Skal is absolutely absurd by Phoenix. Just a ridiculous collection of raw talent there.

Actually we didn't get Skal...he was part of the Sac deal so I guess they got him, but we got Ulis later.

Oh my bad. Still though, Bender and Chriss is still a ton of upside.

Yes, we were debating him a ton on the Suns forum...or at least many loved Bender but also loved Chriss upside but were more worried about taking him over Bender due to bust factor...to have both is kind of unbelievable after all the talk on our forum. Though there were some that wanted Hield or Murray.

This. Now of course all this can change once games begin to be played. But tonight it definitely looks like these 3 are the stand outs. If Minny can make a trade with Rubio or Dunn they may get tossed in there as well.

On a side note, if Denver hits this year with their draft like it looks like they may, Denver's front office would need to get talked more about with what they have been with the drafts lately

imagine if we had any lotto luck to go with our drafting skills. cant think of many, if any, teams with worse lotto in the history of the nba lottery.

Ya that's true. I can't think of anything lucky draft wise for Denver since Melo fell. Just whenever Denver drafts foreign players I just feel like, yup maybe not an all star but really solid starter they just drafted. They just seem to know what they're doing

even in the melo draft, we fell two spots to get him.

but we certainly do a damn good job getting value from where we pick.

Ya I'm going to have to make the 10 minute drive to Pepsi Center a few times this year to watch the team. Mudiay and Murray should be fun to watch.

Denver already has a better player than Murray in Gary Harris..

Only makes sense if Vlade plans on trading Cousins or WCS. If not, then he's stockpiling bigs for no reason.

Suns fan but I won't mention them.
Philly made the clear choice of Simmons but hot two wings at the end of the first that have lotto talent.
The Nuggs love them some skilled foreign players. It's smart to draft guys that aren't prima donnas and wont bitch about their roles or not being in a big market.
Toronto got some guys that will help up front if/when biyombo leaves.

The 76ers, Grizzlies, Lakers, Nuggets, Spurs, and Suns all got As from me. Jazz, Raptors, and Rockets also did really well.

Maybe a look into the Kings war room could provide some clues as to their decision-making process . . .

Well, Kings consider WCS PF/C, who will likely be a long-term starter next to Boogie, and Koufos is leaving, so Kings drafted potential backups at PF and C. From late lottery on that's a reasonable expectation in a weak draft. Now Malachi pick was stupid.

Alternative theory would be, that Vivek flip-flopped, no longer wants to emulate GSW, and decided to replace small ball with tall ball. Afterall Boogie always wanted to play SG. Would need to pry Giannis from Bucks to put Skal-Giannis-Boogie-WCS-Big Georgios on the floor. Skal would be a 3&D PG.
