What are the Kings' main draft options with the 7th overall pick?
Дус Ено. Do sing more. Tu se mo They tell you what they know! Juice and malt. Douce mo, douce and mo The podcast that you know!
We are one week away from the NBA TRAFT! Are you excited?
Maybe. I'm nervous too.
Uh yeah, of course. But also like why?
Okay, sorry. I mean because I'm human?
I know, but I'm just saying like Over the years, can we even get phased by the draft anymore?
No, I guess I'm not. I when I say like I'm nervous, I'm nervous for everyone. I'm nervous. Like it's just like the nerves flow with even how people talk about these draft prospects going into the draft. And you know, some people just talk with so like matter-of-fact.
Yeah.
This is how it's gonna work. This is how it's gonna translate. And there's just so many things that these humans can do to evolve their games, to change. Like there's luck involved. There's just so many things. So I just have a hard time being matter of fact about any of this.
That's the completely irrational way of going about it. Would you look at that? We live in 2026 where if you're on social media and you follow the draft, you have your own top 100 big board. Yes. You know what I mean? Everybody's got a mock draft. No, because people are passionate about it. Yeah. The draft represents so much hope, right? And What you realize when you watch enough of these players, they all have an immense level of talent. When you make it to like the D1 level, like you're really good. But now we're trying to like figure out all right, who is the chance to be the star? Is there a sleeper star? Is there one guy we're missing? You know what I mean? And that's what makes it so fun. And then the draft comes and there's draft grades.
Oh. And even that doesn't matter. No. And then we just have to do that. Just have to wait for it to play out. But you know what? We have to live in the moment. The moment, right now, a week away from the NBA draft. The Kings are picking seventh. And there's also questions about who is going number one. Maybe it's all bullshit and AJ's going number one and that's it. Yeah. But Darren Peterson has only worked out talked with the Wizards. He did not work out with the Utah Jazz.
Mm-hmm.
His camp according to reports beliefs, he's going one. Well, if that happens, does that mean AJ is going too? That would make all the sense in the world. Or hey, Cam Boozer, does he go too? His dad literally works for the Utah Jazz and played for them too. So there my whole point is it seems like we know who the top four are going to be, right? Yeah. It's been the same forever when it comes to no particular order, AJ, Darren Peterson, Cam Boozer, and Caleb Wilson. Then you get to five and it's like, who the hell knows? It is crazy a week away from the draft that it doesn't seem like there's a consensus at number one. Do you like that? Do you like the fact that there's some mystery going into the draft?
Yeah, I do, but I am I'm doing tinfoil hat. Oh in my yeah, I know. You join me? Everyone joined join me. Um like I would it be easy for owners to get away with like payments on
Oh, I wasn't ready for this type of shit.
Are you saying suggesting that maybe there's some like secret fun that the Utah Jazz have? Funneling money to the Washington Wizards so they could just take their guy at number two.
Uh huh. No, that's not possible. Okay, okay, okay.
Take the tinfoil hat off now. Take it off. Actually crumble it up.
No, I need it. Give it to me. No. God damn you I love my conspiracy theories. Is it? Yes. I mean, everything that you're seeing going on with the Clippers, is it? I don't know. And yes, it is. Yes, it is. I have to tell myself that too. But like I just think about how weird it is. It's not weird. It's the draft. Of course, things can change, things could shift. But it just seems so interesting, I guess, when you look at AJ and you look at Peterson and you Look at Everything from the outside, the optics, what we know, but also Why wouldn't you go with a player that has the size, the skill set, the everything that you need and didn't have any of the issues of injuries, your whole body cramping?
