I still think by year's end Sactown finishes in the 6-8 spot. I think in that position we would have 3 shots in the 6-10% chance of landing a pick between 2 and 4. Last year the C's would have only 3-5% chance to land at 2 or 3

I’m really not sure anymore man. This Kings team is deep and plays hard. De’Aron Fox is going to be the best guard from that draft when it’s all said and done, young fella can play. They’ve got shooting and a lot of defensive versatility. I could see them only landing us the 10-12 pick unfortunately.

I stopped following them day to day. Resigned to low lottery. Just happy we don’t have fultz

Good point. Be grateful for what we have and don't have.
How many more stars do we need ? A strong rotational player who knows their role might be the best draft choice for this team. Only thing missing if Williams develops is a knock-down spot-up shooter (Korver or Reddick type).

Had high hopes for the Kings pick being a lottery. Dreamt of Zion Williamson/RJ Barrett.

Might just become another Kelly Olynyk/Terry Rozier type pick.

The way Zion looks, I think I’d rather lock in a KO/TR3 now than a legit chance that Philly lands him.

I mean, this pick is gravy so even a rotation player would be nice.

Personally, I’d like to see the Knicks get him. Would be great for the NBA.

Plus at that salary (and a big KP extension), it would be very difficult for them to land a max vet, I believe. But those two would be very fun to watch and make the Knicks relevant again.

I was prepared for this to happen based on the unpredictability of young teams, but the Kings are still bumming me out this season.

There are a lot of losses coming for the Kings but they play hard and have some talent.

well they have at least 1 after beating the Wolves.  Bagley 17 points on just 5 shots.  Pretty impressive (and Ferrell scored 17 on just 6 shots).

The West is so insane this year. They're going to wind up with, like, 9 teams winning 45 games.

Good for us, because the King might stay over .500 and still convey a decent pick.

you mean like last year where the 9 seed had 46 wins and 10 had 42.

In terms of the Kings pick, exactly. The Kings could win 44 games and still convey the 12th pick, which wouldn't be bad at all since it's a basically a free pick and the C's would have some other assets to help them move up if they want.

In terms of the craziness of the West this year, it's even crazier than last season because no one is getting separation. I'm sure GS will go on a run at some point but there is no Houston Rockets winning 65 games this season. Last year, 3rd and 9th were separated by just 3 games. This season we could see 2nd and 10th separated by 3 games.

It’s not only down to the 10th spot.  The Wolves with the 2nd worst record in the west are only 3 games out of the 8th spot.  If this continues it will be a wild 2nd half of the season.

Win at Dallas. Keep thinking they will slow down but that is looking less likely by the game.
