Yeah but if Fox leaves who is your point guard?

Monk can’t play the point full time.

I think he showed last year that he probably can play pg full time plus with the kings Sabonis is an offensive hub as well. You really only need a guy to bring the ball up the court and then you can work your offense through Sabonis.

Heurter is probably gone and Monk will be getting the backup pg minutes. Also Barnes is getting almost all his minutes at the 4 and Murray will see minutes there as well. There should be at least 24 minutes a game for Knecht between sg and sf. I actually think the best choice though would be Ware but he is kind of a polarizing player and I'm higher on him than anyone else on this board. Also I do like Bub a lot but I'm looking at it strictly from an immediate impact standpoint for them in win now mode.

Bub can very easily slip into the SG position.

In todays NBA you need at least 2 playmakers on the floor anyway.
 
No way in hell would I ever pick positional need over talent.

If a can’t miss talent in my estimation falls on my lap I’m gonna take him first and foremost.
 
I feel like every year there are guys like Bub that do well enough in the mid range that people get excited. The main thing for me with him is the late growth spurt. Not sure he’s athletic enough to get the shots you actually want. Rob and Topic are quite a bit higher on my board but to each their own.

There’s no doubting Dillingham’s scoring talent. He could even become an All Star. A Trey You g lite so to speak.

But on the defensive end the other team would just target him every trip down the floor especially in the playoffs.

Topic I’m just not sold on his shooting ability. We see Giddey getting played off the floor due to his lack of shooting and now traded away.

At the end of the day only time will tell. We’ll come back and revisit these evaluations and probably laugh about how right or wrong we were 1 day.

I think Topic has more shooting upside and Dilly could be an electric 6th man. Many teams have guys that get hunted like that in the playoffs but unless you are a team with top 5 aspirations I wouldn’t place a ton of value there. Rob has enough offensive upside that I’m comfortable saying his floor is like one of the best 6th man scorers in the league. His upside may be garland like… at 13-15 that’s a decent play.

I’m fine with Bub there if that’s your guy but he has warts and don’t think the gifts are as high level as either of those guys. Was more questioning the thought with Fox but if that isn’t the primary motivation then whatevs… it’s fine.

Not to mention Keegan Murray.

Keegan is more of a stretch forward. They need athletic forward who can put the ball on the floor and score.

I like Bub and at 14 he is good value, but the Kings are in a precarious position where they need to draft for need.
