That is only because our coach was sitting him behind his son his FR year at the 4 position. It was painful to witness.
If Kris had played more this past season he might have gotten that 1st round guarantee that he was looking for.

Matt has been in Keegan's corner all along. So many times I've heard that Keegan is "NBA Ready". And, I believe he is ready. Some fans wanted Ivey, although he pretty much said he didn't want to play there. And, the point Matt made about Ivey needing time to develop is a fair point in my most humble opinion. I would think that the fans would welcome a player who had a stellar season and won The Karl Malone Award this past season, and is considered to be ready to play and contribute. Ivey, after being picked at #5 by Detroit, didn't shed those tears because the Kings picked Keegan. He was emotional of course because of the high pick he received, as well as being selected by the Pistons. The fans are just going to have to accept the fact that he didn't want to be there at Sac. On a side note of sorts, the Pistons are building around Cade. Cade is the "Franchise". Will he and Ivey mesh? Will Ivey try to become the centerpiece eventually?here is his post draft coverage.

The Kings made the correct choice.
Yeah. Since when does a player decide who he is going to play for before the draft even begins? Hope the fans in Sac finally realize that. Personally, I was hoping Keegan went 5th to Detroit, but since he's going to Sac, I'm excited to see Sabonis and Keegan running pick and rolls for each other.Yeah, I agree. In the end, the Kings made the right pick.
It was not a good look when Ivey stated in that interview that he preferred Detroit and Indiana over Sacramento. Before he said that, I think the Kings were still considering him.
Yep, NBA is a shooters league right now for guards and that isn’t Ivey’s game to this point. Maybe he can fix it, but that is a big bet to make with that much money on the line. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him not amount to much as a Piston and finally put it together when he’s on his 2nd contract and with a different team.Ivey is gonna flop. People see the speed and say omg but he isnt a great jumper like Westbrook or Morant. Shot is busted, no intuition to be a point guard. Too light to be a defensive ace. Keegan is gonna be way better.
Agree. Kinda like being drafted to Detroit LionsCongrats to Keegan!
but damn… Sacramento is where basketball players go to die
Yeah, we'll see. The NBA is a shooters game, but also a slashers game.Yep, NBA is a shooters league right now for guards and that isn’t Ivey’s game to this point.

We are hearing a lot about Keegan Murray having a lower ceiling than other players in the draft. Based upon his trajectory after high school, I would temper that a bit. He has made remarkable improvements every single year and shown no signs of slowing down at this point.
While true the Kings have the longest current streak without making the playoffs, it doesn't have to kill careers. Haliburton went there as a lottery pick and finished 3rd in the voting for Rookie of the Year in the NBA. He is now on the Pacers. We don't have to write off Keegan's chance at NBA stardom just because that is where he was drafted.Congrats to Keegan!

Likely since John Elway said he wouldn't play for the Colts!Yeah. Since when does a player decide who he is going to play for before the draft even begins? Hope the fans in Sac finally realize that.

And Eli Manning wouldn't play for the Chargers.

LOL. And coming out of high school 350 D-1 schools passed on Keegan Murray. How did that turn out?SB NATION only gave the Kings pick a “C”. Picks after #4 we’re given “A”s.
is that the world's smallest Mic or does she have man-hands?
He literally got 2 commitments the same day Keegan was drafted. Koch is said to be a top 50 kid. What in the world are you talking about?I can’t understand why Mc can’t translate these amazing NBA picks into better recruiting… it seems like a no brainer for young kids with the right sell job …
Omg watching those two crying about the #1 teams wanting them is the definition of 1st world problems LMAO! I mean it worked out for them in the end but geez talk about unprofessional.And Eli Manning wouldn't play for the Chargers.
I watched the presser of McNair last night and he was excited for sure. He was asked a time or two about the player who didn't want to play for them and he quickly moved on to other questions. Good for him.
One of them a major yawnerHe literally got 2 commitments the same day Keegan was drafted. Koch is said to be a top 50 kid. What in the world are you talking about?
