Josh Hart is a good candidate for a Malcolm Brogdon like rookie year.

Just because one person establishes himself as an outlier doesn't mean every year after there are going to be similar outlier's. There is a reason why senior's drafted in the 2nd rounder don't have the impact of Brogdon. Insinuating that there will be one every year following Brogdon is baseless.

Not sure who is saying it's a guarantee. Just saying that Hart is a likely candidate to be that guy if that guy exists. Most 2nd rounders of course can't play in the NBA at all.

Not into the shooting PFs? Lydon, Alec Peters, DJ Wilson, maybe Kuzma (though he's not yet a great shooter). They all have flaws but would bring immediate shooting threats to the floor plus some decent athleticism. Def different players than Saric.
No doubt, just throwing a few out there that I recently looked at. I'm always partial to elite defenders, and think another physical presence/rim protector along with Embiid and Holmes would make this team even tougher to play.
I'm also guilty of wishful thinking, and maybe ethnically profiling, Dario in that I think he'll eventually be a good shooter.

If I'm the Kings, I'd trade 10 in a second.

If the Lakers come away with Lonzo Ball and Zach Collins, I'm gonna be pissed.

Mavs are also an option, in serious need of a PG and there's a good chance Fox/DSJ/Ntilkinia are gone. They also might like Russell better than them anyway.

I really think the Kings are better off keeping 10. If they give it up for Russell, it's not based on what he's done in the NBA, that's for sure.

How about we trade Okafor to the Lakers for Russell? Lol.

I'd rather have Russell personally. The book isn't written on a 20 year old. He's still immensely talented.

Kings take Issac and trade 10 for Russell would be interesting. The worst back-court defensively in the league but interesting none the less.

It makes little sense to me for the Lakers to trade him for the 10th pick in this draft; unless he's really the locker-room poison the Nick Young thing made him out to be. Like you if I was the Kings I'd take that deal in a second - Russell is somewhat proven, young and is more talented than anything you could get at 10 in this draft.

DLo's personality seems like a person who doesn't have the extra drive for success and is content with what he has. Not saying he wont improve

Yeah it seems if this rumour is true the Lakers aren't happy with him behind the scenes.
