He's a tough nut to crack. Obviously good height for SF, can shoot, but what else can he do? On the one hand, he never really seemed to be the guy affecting the game for Kansas. Sure, he hit some shots, but I never really saw him take over a game. On the other hand, he completely displaced...

That makes a lot more sense. Otherwise his listing was like a 2.5 inch oversell, and it never looked that way on the court.

A lot a Castle's hype was wrapped up in him being listed at 6'6". That's a devastating measurement despite the good wingspan.

I think he's just too big to pull that off. Not quick enough. He's a C all the way.

The extra axle is so that he doesn't have to work out.

You definitely found a way to put the Kings in the worst possible draft spot! In this scenario I'm actually tempted to just go with Filipowski and see how it goes. I like Missi - he has nice footwork in the post - but with basically zero jumpshot I don't know if his game translates. I need to...

Year 2 actually, year 1 was this season.

Why don't you think Cody is a good fit for the Kings? He has a prototype "big wing" body. I'll wait for the combine measurements, but the eye test says he may be taller than his listed 6'8" with a plus wingspan. He's wonderfully athletic, smooth on the court, and he plays hardnosed defense...

For a $5.9M, one year deal? That's about 4.2% of the salary cap, and if nothing else eminently movable as a salary piece. I don't think cap punishment really comes into the equation here. You have to have smaller pieces, several of whom won't end up in the rotation; one year of Duarte is not...

The timing of those options is really player-friendly. We had to decide on picking up Year 4 before he had played a single minute for us, based on his performance in Years 1/2 for another team (when Year 1 performance was pretty good). In a lot of ways, picking it up was the low-risk option...

Yeah, I don't see Holland slipping. Right now my thinking is that there are 10 guys who can't possibly slip to #13. In no particular order, it's the three true internationals (Risacher, Sarr, Topic), two G-Leaguers (Holland, Buzelis), two Kentuckys (Sheppard, Dillingham), two UConns (Castle...

With our luck it will be Washington. Not the Wizards, the Generals.

https://www.nba.com/kings/caclassic This link has less info, but apparently better info. There will actually be four teams in the G1C "pod", with a TBD team to be added to Kings/Hornets/Spurs.

I feel like that bridge has been burned at this point

Well, the principle is right. What I mean by that is that the 200% rule applies to aggregated salaries, so if one could apply the 200% rule to this situation, then $7.5M + $7.5M = $15M, and 200% of that is $30M. But the problem is that you can't apply the 200% rule to $15M worth of outgoing...

Obviously there is concern about tampering, but as long as the league is trying to put forth the impression that nobody is allowed contact before July 1, then they would have to punish teams obviously contacting free agents in the week prior. I mean, just in this year's draft the Suns and the...

You could not imagine the fit I would pitch if we drafted Bronny at 13. Could. Not. Imagine.

I think the only trend so far to notice in Monte's draft selections is that he seems to favor experience. Looking at rookie age and experience, Monte's picks (plus the undrafted Ellis) are: Jahmi'us Ramsey - 19 - Freshman Tyrese Haliburton - 20 - Sophomore Robert Woodard III - 21 - Sophomore...

Soooo...saying a thing on ESPN is now NOT reporting it?

The picks? The picks? They are close to having the fewest number of picks legally allowed in the next seven drafts. Here are their draft assets in the next seven drafts: 2024: #22 2025: Nothing 2026: Own 1st, worst of four due to three swap options 2027: Nothing 2028: Own 1st, worst of four...
