    We have two way deals. But a lot of second rounders might not want that.

    So we turned 4 top 40 picks into Cling Kong, Deni, 3 future 2s, and some cash.

    Imagine what 4 picks in the top 40 will mean NEXT draft.

    Honestly I can see why they didn’t use any of the second rounders. If they didn’t see someone they loved and they already have a metric shit ton of young guys who need minutes, why not punt for other picks and just sign some 2 way guys?

    For all those picks we could have at LEAST gotten a good video guy from a good team...Notice that you are post #666? Coincidence? I think not.

    If that's directed at me, you missed the point. It's not about talent being identical, it's about the huge gap between a #2 pick and a G-League 2-way player. This draft was full of red flags, and that looked to possibly be the biggest one of all, as far as how bad it was at the top.

    Dalano Banton is better than most if not all of these second rounders

    Because a better GM would have gotten more for 7, 14, 34, and 40...unless Clingan shocks the NBA and is better than Ayton in his first year. (Clingan's long-term ceiling is Nurkic.)

    34 usually becomes a decent future substitute. Would we sell Camara for cash?

    Avdija is a starter, granted. He physically looks like Domantas Sabonis, so we can always get the Kings GM stoned and trick him into trading Sabonis and Murray for their twins.

    Truth is you would have said this shit no matter who we got. It's not being smart, it's being a curmudgeon. That's totally fine, but difficult to take seriously.

    It's not the first time something like this has been posted by the social media team.

    SideNote: Hey this "video guy" won his 7th Emmy earlier this month. If you can find better in the 2nd round....go get 'em FAMS!

    Someone said he was a true 7'1 in socks so he's 7'3 in shoes...also has an incredible wingspan and will probably put on 20 lbs of muscle in the NBA gym workouts like Lamarcus did. This kid has the frame to be a monster big man...trick for the kid this season is to stay out of foul trouble as a rookie and learn to shoot free throws much, much better.
