The Kings just had a 4 on 2 fastbreak....They somehow did not score and it ended up as a 2 on 1 Wizards fastbreak

 

[Bolts]

Yeah no doubt. I have yet to see a mock that did not have a Fultz going #1. I actually don't recall seeing a mock without Fultz, Ball, and Jackson.

Would the Lakers still take Ball though if they get the 2nd pick with Russell already there? I think Jackson would be the best way to go unless they don't think Russell is their PG of the future.

Jackson makes sense with the Suns or Lakers, while the 76ers would probably rather get Ball.

Yeah agree. I know Mr. Ball wants his son to go to LA but I just don't see the sense with Russell there already. They need a SG. Ingram is a SF. To have drafted your starting PG, SG, and SF in the last 3 drafts would be pretty cool

Going with the TanKings plan. Sucks that Buddy has gone ice cold in this half after 18 in the first half but it's part of rookie struggles. WCS(13 and 12), Hield(18 and 5), and Skal(8 and 5 in 14 minutes) all still showing off their potential.

This Kings game got me staying up later than I wanted. The plan was to go to bed at halftime of the UCLA/Zona game

Monk would make sense at SG but drafting him 2nd or 3rd would be a stretch imo. Wouldn't make total sense for Boston to draft a PG with IT playing great, but you know they will.

Yeah unless he does something special in the tourney to increase his stock, top 3 would really be a reach. Most mocks got Monk going 8-10.

As for Boston drafting a PG, the only reason I wouldn't be against them drafting a PG is the fact that IT4 is an UFA next summer. They need to cover their ass just in case he decides to walk for nothing.

 

[Bolts]

Beal has been unreal in the 4th, seems like he has 20 points in this quarter alone.

 

[bksballer89]

I'm really liking Cauley-Stein.

 

[Four4Four]

So basically there is no need to watch the Warriors/Spurs tomorrow. Kerr is resting most of his guys.

Yeah I wasn't gonna be able to watch because wifey made plans for us. But thanks to Kerr, I'm no longer feeling like I'm missing out.

 

[Bolts]

Looked like an offensive foul there for Wall, no call and the Wiz lead.

 

[bksballer89]

Refs are in on the Kings tanking plan. Missed an obvious offensive foul on Wall. Now the Wiz lead by 2 with 19.7 left

 

[bksballer89]

I'm really liking Cauley-Stein.

I'm really loving Cauley-Stein lol

 

[Bolts]

I'm really liking Cauley-Stein.

Rebounding has been his biggest problem, but has 13 tonight. 3 straight baskets here, he's stepping up big time.

 

[Bolts]

And....overtime.

 

[bksballer89]

OT

 

[bksballer89]

I get you want to put the ball in your best player hands there but Beal had 16 in the 4th. He should have took that shot.

Just take the best player available (if they keep their pick). Don't get cute. Plus, Russell can play either guard spot. He's pretty good shooting off ball already. Worst case scenario they have to trade him down the line. Either way, its a win.

 

[bksballer89]

This current Wizards lineup is so deadly because everyone can shoot.

Great end of game lineup as long as you're playing a small team.

Wall
Beal
Bogdanovic
Porter
Morris

 

[Bolts]

Kings are pretty much done, Wizards have played great defense on Buddy this half.
