I'm also disappointed that Avdija got traded to Portland of all teams. From one losing situation to another. He could have helped so many winning teams.

So many teams made mystifying picks. Orlando taking a forward, Boston not taking a center, Philly taking McCain when he can't play with their 2nd best player, etc. This is a draft where you draft for fit. Saying "best possible player" only makes sense when there are clear best possible players. I've never really been on board with that strategy anyway. I think you put a draft pick in a poor developmental situation if the roster doesn't fit him. For example, Clingan went to a team with multiple other non-floor spacing bigs and a point guard who can't shoot. How does that help anyone? San Antonio drafting a point guard and then immediately trading him was also weird.

The San Antonio one isn't weird since they kept the first PG they drafted. They probably don't have the bandwidth to train both prospects this season and just wanted to put all of their effort into Castle since they feel he's more nba ready and fits the team better.

@@altrock17 Castle isn't a point guard though. He may believe he is, but he isn't. He's a wing. I'm also not sure he's more NBA-ready. Dillingham can actually shoot. I would also never feel comfortable passing up on a UK guard at this point.

Running Castle at point will be a great way to end up with Cooper Flagg though. So maybe that's their goal. Gonna Sochan it up all over again.

I don't like the Brogdan comment. You don't pay a sage locker room presence 22m. The celtics only traded him due to cap reasons. The Pacers traded him as they were rebuilding. The Blazers were in the luxury tax despite being an awful team.

Lakers made out, I expected far different out of Portland ... they drafted another center?

And a non-floor spacing one at that. How does that help Scoot, and how does Scoot help him? They need wings, not centers. It would be different if Clingan was some can't-miss prospect. Then you ignore fit. But this is creating a bad developmental situation.

The Kings will have to balance out the roster. I personally love the pick because I think Devin Carter is a two-way player and the other wing options (Knecht, Da Silva, etc..) weren't enticing enough to go another way. Also, thank you for the Deni Avdija criticism! The Kings should have been all over that. So frustrating. I think the 2 picks plus whatever they get for Brogdon (which maybe 3-4 seconds instead of a first) is what put it over the top. The Kings probably would have put expiring salary instead of a player with re-trade value like Huerter or Barnes so I bet Portland won out because of that. The Kings are saving Huerter and Barnes for their bigger swing (Ingram, Grant, or Miles Bridges).

In this draft, you're just wildly guessing. There are no clear-cut "better" prospects. You can't say "Carter was more enticing than the wings" with any degree of certainty. In that situation, you draft for fit. Sacramento taking yet another guard doesn't make sense. At least he's good on defense though.

@@rome8180 Right. No point in watching film on any of these guys. Just throw stuff against the wall. Also drafting for fit can have you drafting for Sam Bowie instead of Michael Jordan. "But they had Clyde Drexler." Having Drexler and Jordan is a good problem to have.

@@tom4life2001 how do you know how much film I've seen of these guys compared to you? Your logic is also based on the false assumption that there's a Bowie vs. Jordan dichotomy at work here. And people thought Bowie was going to be great, obviously. Also, the Kings aren't a rebuilding team. They're a team that was a 3 seed two years ago. You're putting a rookie into a win-now environment on a roster where he doesn't fit positionally. Sounds way smarter than drafting for fit! But I get it, your brilliant Kings front office has proven they can do no wrong. A reminder that I'm not the one who employed the condescending af tone first.

@@rome8180 Do you know what the Kings roster will look like at the start of the season? How do you know if he will fit or not then? You pick BPA and go from there. Doesn't matter what draft there are tiers of quality of players in each draft. As for the tone, you opened fire in your first comment.
