Eh, not sure what you expected out of 40, 47, and 60. I know we didnt have a first so most kings fans were hoping to get some "steals" here. Reality is 2nd round is always a dart throw. We will be lucky if 1 of these guys becomes a bench player, and maybe 5 of the whole 2nd round.
Vlade has done fine drafting. You can blame him for passing on doncic, but bagley is pretty damn good himself.

Not including seconds because none of them have been good that Vlade has drafted.
Vlade is responsible for drafting one of the worst picks of all time in Papagiannis plus trading an unprotected first rounder, drafting Bagley over Luka. Drafting Fox was an obvious pick. Giles is still TBD, Jackson was not very good. Vlades is a bottom 3 GM. Always has been always will.
You can say the same about most gms. Dude seriously, Google NBA draft 2014 and look at the last 5 years of 2nd round picks. You've got about a 10% chance of even getting a bench player.
2015 no 2nd rounder
2016 we had the 59th pick Isiah cousins who never played
2017 Frank Mason
2018 sold our 2nd
So how many 2nds has he really missed on?
We dont need to rehash the stauskas trade. That was a **** move. But it was also done when the goal was to compete around DeMarcus moving into a new arena. And if DeMarcus doesnt get sick and we dont fire malone who knows what happens yadda yadda yadda.
Since that trade hes been fine.
Papa was garbage, but so was that draft. Next 5 picks valentine, hernangomez, yabusele, Baldwin, ellenson. Not a difference maker in sight, hell not even a role player.. The reality is we traded #8 (chriss) for Bogdan/13/28. That trade was a huge win even if we didnt get those draft picks.
Drafting bagley over luka isnt decided. Hype luka all you want we dont know how these careers will turn out. Both have sky high potential.
Fox was absolutely not the obvious pick. That's revisionist theory. The entire GB gave us **** for that pick. People were screaming DSJ was the better PG, and issac was the better player. Fox was a pg who couldnt shoot and was too skinny.
Again with Jackson I dont know what you expect. I feel you have some unreal fairytale expectation that every pick is supposed to hit or it's a bad pick. If you get a 7th/8th man with the 15th pick you've done a great job. The fact that we have a player with Giles potential that we got at 20 is absolutely amazing.
I'm tired of this kind of attitude honestly. We have the brightest future we've had in 15 years thanks to vlade and you want to complain about 2nd round picks? Give me a **** break.
Maybe you forget what we did with our draft picks prior to vlade coming here. Ferdette, Robinson, McLemore, stauskas. All top 10 picks, pretty much all of them out of the league or not in NBA rotations.
