NBA Draft Lottery Open Thread

Go Kings!
By | 126 Comments | May 17, 2022

May 14, 2019; Chicago, IL, USA; A general view of the stage prior to the 2019 NBA Draft Lottery at the Hilton Chicago. Mandatory Credit: Patrick Gorski-USA TODAY Sports

The 2022 NBA Draft Lottery is upon us! The festivities start at 5 PM PT, and will be aired on ESPN. As we know from experience, the picks themselves will likely come towards the end of the half hour.

The Kings odds of landing at each pick are as follows:

1st – 7.5%
2nd – 7.8%
3rd – 8.1%
4th – 8.5%
7th – 19.7%
8th – 34.1%
9th – 12.9%
10th – 1.3%

As we’re watching, the pre-lottery standings would be announced as follows:

Cleveland Cavalier
Charlotte Hornets
LA Clippers (owed to Oklahoma City Thunder)
New York Knicks
Washington Wizards
San Antonio Spurs
LA Lakers (owed to New Orleans Pelicans)
Sacramento Kings

If it isn’t announced in that order, a team behind the Kings has moved into the top 4. The order would continue:

Portland Trail Blazers
Indiana Pacers

If either the Blazers or Pacers are announced before the Kings, it means the Kings have moved into the top 4.

Fingers crossed, lucky shirts worn, children promoted into leadership roles, do whatever you can think of to bolster our odds tonight. Go Kings!

So by start at 5pm, does this actually mean we have to sit through like 30 minutes and endless commercials before they actually start the reveal?

The last time Anjali Ranadive was in the news on NBA lottery day, it was 2014 when she represented the Kings.

That year the Kings were slotted at #7 and fell to #8, and then they drafted Stauskas.

Sorry to share that.

Something small I noticed but during that interview Paolo seemed a bit aloof speaking with the ESPN crew, but the second David Robinson started speaking you could see how laser focused he was on his advice.

After the lottery positions are set I’m really looking forward to Anjali Ranadive’s initial mock draft. Player evaluation being one of her new duties, I expect the organization to rely heavily on her input.

I think he gives you what John Collins would give you without giving up Barnes and the #4 to trade for John Collins.

Not to mention he’d be cheaper.

My only real concern is if he can play the 4 next to Domas. I’m sure the offense will be fine, but there still isn’t a whole lot of rim protection. If he could play the 3 and make room for another long forward that’d be great, but it doesn’t seem like his natural fit. He’s got a lot of Barnes to his game funnily enough.

Excited to hear how the workouts go. As of now, I’m leaning towards Sharpe. Also, there’s a possibility one of Smith, Banchero or Holmgren drops to 4. Highly unlikely but still a possibility especially if Sharpe or Ivey really impresses in their workouts

Initial reports are lukewarm. A lot of talent that’s high-risk, high-reward in the top end, with fewer sure-fire stars. There a consensus top 3 (Chet, Jabari, Paolo), and a wider pool afterwards for tier 2.

Kings get their pick of the Tier 2 or snag whoever gets flubbed from tier 1.

Yep. That’s the dream. Either way, the Kings are going to have a chance to choose from at least two of Chet/Smith/Banchero/Sharpe/Murray. And while I’ll have my opinions, any one of those guys would be a good choice IMO.

solid but not great draft- no super guy like next year with Victor.
Some say top tier is 3, others say 4.
Smith
Banchero
Chet
Ivey

second tier
Sharpe
Murray

we get one of these guys. Honestly, I would avoid Chet (Shawn Bradley). My guess is he is top 3 anyway. Then that means Ivey- BPA vs. Murray best fit.
I fell for the best fit argument last time. Will I get fooled again?

I’m just going to say it. Fox and the 4th pick to Houston for Wood, Gordon and Porter Jr. starters:

Mitchell
Gordon
whoever we get for Barnes and maybe Holmes
Wood
Sabonis

switch Gordon and Porter Jr. if it’s more appealing.

What would you prefer? Keep Fox and add a question mark? Or a different trade? I like the trade with Houston because I like Wood and Porter Jr. and Gordon can still shoot and at 32 he’s not ancient. Wood is 26, Porter Jr. is 22. All three can play. Being that the chosen direction is win now, it seems a trade is most prudent. Unless Jabari Smith falls to 4.

Fox’s money makes him harder to trade in my opinion. He’s simply not worth his pay check. Keeping him isn’t going to get us to the playoffs. Who do you believe would be a realistic return for Fox and his contract?

You are assuming I agree with your premise that he is not worth his pay; I vehemently disagree. At the beginning of the year the Kings asked him to play as a SG to let Hali run point. It was okay, they needed more time to see if it would work, but once they traded for Domas, Fox was back to his old self and earning his money.
People talk shit of his Def but it’s way better than he gets credit for and just wait til he has confidence in his teammates to perform, people will say his Def improved, but it is what happens when someone knows the effort won’t be wasted.

I’d say I’m one of the people more open to trading Fox ’round these parts, but I think the Kings are clearly getting the short end of that deal.

Keegan Murray!
He’s The Apathy Mutilator!
He’s what King’s fans crave!

Our choice of Ivey, Sharpe, Murray and maybe Paolo – NOT BAD! Would pick up Paolo if he slides, take a hard look at Ivey and Sharpe, then Murray if all else fails. Murray seems like a nice safety net to me – good but not really elite at many aspects of the game – a Jack of all trades, ala Barnes.

Ivey is the only one there I wouldn’t be a fan of.

Blind luck and sure I would have before rather been in the 6th spot than the 7th BUT…Fuck off to Portland for starting a sub G league team the last 15 games of the season. That tank was particularly egregious.

My early hope is Sharpe…based on a whopping 15 minutes of various highlight reel watching.

I hope we end up with Murray, he does everything very well.

I don’t get the Sharpe hype even a little, has anyone seen him play at all?

I mean I saw his workout today. Nothing stood out. Need to see him play.

It’s the same problem I have with Ivey, if you want a true bucket getter, Davis is much better IMO.

Eh, he was walking around. But what you could see is his athleticism, comfort with both hands, and smooth, consistent stroke off the catch and the dribble. Nothing new that you couldn’t see elsewhere. It will be really interesting to see what he takes part in at the combine.

my fear is that he won’t do anything but have his measurements taken

There is various tape out there on him from HS, EYBL, and with the Canadian National Team. He isn’t quite the man of mystery some people are making him out to be.

Not tanking worked?!? Let’s hope we actually get this pick right!

My ideal draft is Keegan Murray and Leonard Miller, this is considering the top 3 of Smith, Chet, & Paulo are all gone.

Leonard Miller has some intriguing traits, but he’s a long-term project. I wouldn’t expect to get any real minutes out of him for at least a few seasons.

Its why I like him, I think Murray is Barnes type player with higher floor and much higher ceiling and is someone is ready to play from day one. Miller has some star potential nd should be available in the late 1st or early 2nd, great value.

4th pick is perfect for this organization. Take any of the top 3 guys if they fall, or take the best remaining of Murray, Ivey, and Sharpe. I like Murray.

If none of the top two fall out, trade down to okc at 12 and their unprotected 2023. The top of that class is top tier.

Murray seem like a safe pick, but he reminds me of a younger Harrison Barnes. I am so intrigued by Shaedon Sharpe. I know he hasn’t played college, but he seems like the real deal on his workout film. He’ll be the youngest with the highest ceiling. Kings would have to evaluate him thoroughly with their personal workouts. Go Kings…

Sharpe– Z. Lavine
Davis- DeMar
Chet – Shawn Bradley
Sharpe is only a year younger than Ivey. What is a year when Kings are building.
Ivey- Jalen Green

I could see the draft going Smith, Chet…and then Ivey to the Rockets.
Paolo drops to 4.
Do we go with BPA with Paolo or fit with Murray?
