@douglaslwhite @BornKing916 @The_StilesFiles I envision Mikel being at least a good lead guard that can play both ways and can shoot. Upside is he makes an all defense team and is an all star. Still have to find the wing to go with him but I’m warming up to it. He’s got serious range
English
@Sacphil08 @BornKing916 @The_StilesFiles That's who I went to also. Still wouldn't mind Kingston, but it does make you think.

So now this is some of the reporting we have to deal with until the draft.
The Kings like Darius Acuff Jr., they’ll keep liking him, because they like him, but if he’s gone, they’ll like someone else.
What are we doing 😭
English
@BornKing916 @douglaslwhite @The_StilesFiles But yeah, definitely a shocker. I’m becoming more intrigued by Mikel Brown - I think he has the highest upside of all the guards and I think we have to swing big a bit

2026 Draft combine measurements are in:
Acuff: 6’2” / 6’7” wingspan / 8’2.5” reach
Flemings: 6’2.5” / 6’3.5” wingspan / 8’2.5” reach
Wagler: 6’5” / 6’6.25” wingspan / 8’4” reach
Acuff has a LONGER wingspan than Wagler despite being 3 inches shorter.
English
@BornKing916 @douglaslwhite @The_StilesFiles Flemings has a better wingspan and showed a willingness to defend that Acuff hasn’t. He’s good at the point of attack which is so important. You don’t usually go from not great to really good at POA. that said, I wouldn’t be mad if it was Acuff 🤷🏾♂️
English
@douglaslwhite @Sacphil08 @The_StilesFiles I think size is being severely overstated when comparing Acuff (6-3/190)and Flemings(6-4/190). Not much difference🤷🏽♂️
English
@douglaslwhite @The_StilesFiles It’s tough because he reminds me a lot of when Dame came out and he obviously turned out. But we are starting from scratch basically so we just have to truly go BPA. if they work out, it’ll come down to that IMO
English
@Sacphil08 @The_StilesFiles I really like Fleming and I think he fits Sacramento perfectly. Acuff scares me. The size and defense are not good.
English
@douglaslwhite @The_StilesFiles I like Fleming’s upside more than Acuff. Think Acuff might be better to begin his career but Fleming is bigger, better defensively and is even more athletic. Hoping it goes in some order, AJ, Petersen, Booz, Wilson, Wagler, Acuff and flemings falls to us 🙏🏾
English
@The_StilesFiles Hopefully, the basketball gods don't want the Kings to draft Acuff Jr. Maybe the basketball gods think the Kings should draft Flemings instead. 🙏
English
@SleeperSacKings Caleb next to him makes that a lot easier though. I like the idea of having a big front court
English
Perfect player to pair with Maxime Raynaud imo.
Where does Caleb Wilson rank on your draft board?
English
@Vullety No, a man’s makeup is that black hairline spray shit some dudes have put on. It’s a real, literal thing. 😂
English
Makeup hides your beauty, haircuts reveal ours. Big difference
Coop™️@imyycooper
Haircuts are really a man’s makeup

@BropeJim @zachlowesmoptop @The_StilesFiles What are you referring to? And why does anyone still argue in favor of Keegan at this point. He’s overpaid and not very good especially at what he gets paid for. Jaden McDaniels is and always has been, much better. What’s your argument??
English
@zachlowesmoptop @Sacphil08 @The_StilesFiles Man I think these people just get so wrong and they can't accept it and then they just double down and rewrite history it's so weird like just take the l and move on
English
Jaden McDaniels was drafted 28th, Keegan was drafted 4th…
Phillip Nugent@Sacphil08
@The_StilesFiles Allen bro, do NOT do that 😂 Jaden was ranked ahead of everyone in 2019 coming out. Keegan was never that, he went to prep school after high school and Jaden plays with an edge that Keegan doesn’t have. It’s not close
English
@KingsLeadSM @BR_NBA I think he’s worst case scenario for us. We need to go for someone who’s got high upside even if they aren’t quite there yet. Caleb Wilson is our guy IMO
English
Bleacher Report’s pre-lottery mock has the Kings moving up.
Would you be happy with the Kings selecting Cam Boozer 3rd overall?
English
@The_StilesFiles Allen bro, do NOT do that 😂 Jaden was ranked ahead of everyone in 2019 coming out. Keegan was never that, he went to prep school after high school and Jaden plays with an edge that Keegan doesn’t have. It’s not close
English
A caller today asked if Keegan Murray could get to Jaden McDaniels’ level and I think it’s a great comparison, it’s also a great reminder of why you draft young dudes and give them time to develop.
English
@MattGeorgeSAC I don’t think so - Domas on that team would be huge for them even without RJ. Keegan and Domas for RJ is too much unless they’re giving Murray Boyles which they won’t. We’re taking on Poeltl in that scenario which is a win for them along with Domas
English
If Scott Perry really wants RJ Barrett in Sacramento, he might have to use Keegan Murray to get him.
I wouldn't do this, unless the draft goes VERY right for the Kings.
Sactown Sports 1140@Sactown1140
If Kings GM Scott Perry were set on acquiring RJ Barrett from the Raptors, would Keegan Murray have to be included in the deal? Would swapping Murray for Barrett be worth it for Sacramento?
English
@SleeperSacKings I don’t think he would at this point. He was in New York when they drafted RJ and he proved he’s a gamer with Toronto in these playoffs. Game is boring lol but he defends and he can score 20 against playoff defense. Sign me up 🙋🏾♂️
English
@Sacphil08 If they bring that offer back up i think we’d be foolish to pass again. I wonder if Perry holds out for better draft capital tho
English
Kings fans - we taking Poeltl, Gradey, a 1st and two 2nds for Domas? 🤔
RMA_Niti🏴☠️@RMA_Niti
Poeltl, Gradey, and 1 first and 2 seconds take it or leave it
