13, 28, Bogdanovich and 2020 2nd rounder from Detroir. I guess my night is over, unless they trade Knight.

I don't like that. Can't see why we'd give up 2 picks and a prospect to move up 5spots in a pretty even draft

Bilas likes Bender/Chriss for us.

3 1st round picks for Chriss and this was a steal?

Alot of people like Chriss. I'm not one of them....Bilas does which makes me feel a little better cause he is prob the best guy they have up there.

It was a decent deal.

Would’ve given the Kings an “A" if they had kept Chriss. Huge upside. Not in love with this haul for No. 8.
Then Chad Ford tweets this, so who knows. I like what Chriss does well but am terrified by what he does poorly. The Suns clearly love him and were torn by the Bender v Chriss choice so will sell it to themselves as having essentially 2 #4 picks

Still think there is a chance knight or bledsoe get dealt tonight

Going young is great but the risk just increases as you pick farther back in the draft. Two of those picks were 27th and 28th. You may get something there but it was probably always going to be a draft and stash. We have so many young guys already. It would have been hard to find time for a player picked late in the draft.

I'm thinking Bender will play more SF than PF. But still, probably not room for both of them.

I was kind of disappointed it wasn't Knight going away in the #8 deal.
