He has a better standing reach than Gobert by 2 inches...

He is also the much better athlete than Gobert ever was. Mark actually has really good mobility for someone his size. Wouldnt be shocked if he goes top 10.


What are the chances M. WIlliams get picked ahead of Duren?

They should move down every year until they make the playoffs....they literally pick in the lottery every damn year. If they can't find talent that's on them.
The Kings have only moved up 4 times in 26 attempts but ok


I never said they move up often, I said they're in the lottery every damn year.

Yes and never in the top 3 in any recent year other than the Luka draft. Not picking him set them back 5 to 10 years

Over on the draft board, it seems like we are around 50/50 on who goes first. I have Mark over Duren. I get I definitely have a Duke bias, but we are talking about the ACC DPOY, NPOY top 4 finalist and a guy with a 9'9 standing reach. I mean that is pretty damn hard to pass up.

We also traded Haliburton because of Fox. Fox is indirectly one of the worst things to ever happen to this franchise.

I really hope Cleveland doesn’t draft Sochan. Unless he can demonstrate that he has the ability to improve his shooting ability, we’re basically just drafting a poor man’s Issac Okoro… think about that for a moment.

Definitely saving this post. Could end up being a classic.



Could be epic either way.

Who do you like in this draft? You're taking Chet #1 overall?


I don't have a horse in this race (Raps selecting #33 overall), and I don't follow the teams who do closely enough to know what they want, but I do know that unqualified predictions are often way off base, and this draft doesn't have a consensus #1 pick. If the Raptors had #1, I'd probably think Smith is the best fit, but as anyone who has followed Masai Ujuri's draft choices knows, there are a whole bunch of other intangibles that a high pick needs to fulfill (esp. defence) to meet his criteria. I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if the Raps would have picked Keegan Murray first overall.

During this rebuild since the Dwight years. The magic have slide down spots and of course they win the lotto in one of the worst draft in a while

I took a look at Jabari Smith and his game reminds me of Bosh, except with a 3 point shot already there.

He's going to be an All Star at the least.

He's got the tools and jump shooting ability to be a 25+PPG scorer in the league imo.

Would the Kings trade the 4th and a future pick for the #2? It would be on brand for the OKC to trade down for more picks. Or maybe Sacramento moves up one if the Rockets are willing to move down one.
