Is it just me, or is anyone else getting worried that Kuminga falls to us and we pick him and he sucks?

I think it would be an interesting exercise to look back at prior boards and see who the top-rated remaining prospect on the community board was when the Kings picked. See how we would have done. Who would we have drafted each year.

Links to the old boards are in the text of the article.

It looks like we would have taken Hali last year, Doncic the year before, then Fox, then Denzel Valentine.

Just took a peak at the last couple of big boards and all I can say is the crowdsourced knowledge of this comments section is WAAAAYYYY better at evaluating prospects than the Kings have ever been

What I remember from the last time we did this exercise, it was mostly a wash, except for the Consensus board did pick both Kawhi Leonard and Doncic. So 90% of the time, it really didn’t make a difference. But twice, the board pick Hall of Fame level talent that might have made us a contender. Not sure if that say something great about this board or something bad about the drafting of late career Petrie, Pete, and Vlade.
