Trade down. Kings don't really need a big man as much as they need a guard. I think PHX would love to trade up at this point and have their pick at the first Big in this draft not named Bender. If trades aren't allowed here then I guess the pick would be one of Valentine, Luwawu, or Baldwin.

Voted Valentine but I would agree that if Murray, Hield, Dunn are all gone we should trade down.

Apparently they wanted Brown.. in this mock the Denver board took Dunn in hopes of a trade

Tough call Laimbeer. With what's left I'd consider trading the pick.

I will say that I wouldn't be punching holes in walls if they came out with Luwawu either.

Just a general comment - most mocks have him going a bit later.

Yeah and I think that's why most of us are hoping we can trade down. The guys that we want are in that late lottery, mid first round area and taking them at 8 might be a stretch. Seems like 8-12 or so is kind of the big guy territory which is something we don't really need. Though, if we aren't able to trade down I wouldn't necessarily have an issue with us reaching with Valentine if that's the guy we want. Not like any of the other guys mocked to go around 8 are gonna be much more of a game changer than he would be, this range is all role players and we just need to fill the roles that are lacking on our squad.

Return to Sacramento Kings
