Meh, I think those were both wasted picks but that's what I expected. It's pretty rare the front office cherry picks the same guys I do. But hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised. At least we got Fox. I can't be mad after that. :)

My feelings exactly. Completely underwhelmed with two of our three picks but that's the same as last year on draft day for me so I'll wait and see.

Giles eh?

Not a huge fan of this pick but if Vlade liked Jackson at 10 then you're playing with house money so you might as well gamble.

Maybe the biggest boom or bust pick in the draft.

I like as the SECOND part of the down trade that got Jackson. Sure big time gamble but big time reward if he pans out.

So Jay Bilas said that Giles, if healthy, was basically a Chris Webber. Ok, Ok.....if he comes back to anything near what he was then it would be incredible. Worth the risk with 2 picks in the bank already.

Giles has a nice toolbox of skills, it's on the coaching staff to bring it all out. He plays with relentless energy and his passion is bar none. It will be contagious. Just hope to the basketball gods his health stays intact long term.

with pick 20 instead of 1. Unlike Oden, no rush with him, he can take 2-3 years if needed without playing any NBA game. If he recovers to 90% of what he was before injuries it will be worth it ... and we do not need him any time soon.

I think of him as 2019 draft pick we will not have.

I posted the same thing on Twitter but you beat me to it on here, LOL period as soon as I saw the jobs draft immediately thought this is the equivalent of our 2019 pic or the old fashioned European stash pick

Don't like the two picks at all... Not a fan of Jackson, and not a fan of Giles and his two bum knees... I am wondering if Giles will even play a single game as a King.. We might be paying for him to rehab the whole time he's here. Fox was fine. There were five standouts in the draft and we were guaranteed one of them. I didn't like trading the 10th pick because Collins will probably be better than both Jackson and Giles combined.

OG continues falling. Might be red flagged due to injury (and interviews I guess). Sam Vecenie has said for month that OG is lower on executives' board than that of the public. I wonder how much this has to do with DX hyping OG up.

So at 34......OG could drop, Bell would be excellent or then Mason or J Evans.

What if OG dropped to 34....do you take another swing for the fences and pick him despite injury concerns?
