OU’s Isaiah Cousins Picked in 2nd Round of NBA Draft

No, him and Buddy Hield didn’t become the first pair of Sooner guards to get selected in the first round, but having two players go in a two round draft is nothing to scoff at.

The center position got even more crowded when Sacramento drafted Kentucky product Skal Labissiere, a bargain selection at the 28th pick.

Cousins posted averages of 12.6 points, 4.5 boards and 4.5 assists in his senior year and displayed a solid stroke from distance.

Oh, and the Kings also have absolutely no idea how to draft or sign good players.

“We had our guys at the No. 8, but obviously they were picked before”, Divac said.

There is no word at this stage on whether the Kings would then permit Papagiannis to continue developing overseas in the immediate future, but that could always be an option when drafting global players. “So we made a decision to go down and turn that pick into three more and build our team for the future”.

Once the Kings include him in trading block, many teams will surely be lining up to acquire him, including the Los Angeles Lakers, as previous year, the Lakers were already interested in acquiring him to their team.

The All-Star center told Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated that the tweet had nothing to do with the draft and instead joked that it was about “a hot sculpting class”. A year ago, the front office descended into chaos just in time for the draft, with vice president Vlade Divac, who had no prior National Basketball Association administrative experience, eventually filling the GM role by default.

I am looking forward to June 23rd, 2017, when Boogie subtweets his frustration at the Kings drafting an actual robot in the first round. Past year the team traded power forwards Carl Landry and Jason Thompson to Philadelphia along with Nik Stauskas, the 8th overall pick in the 2014 draft. Why?

Despite plenty of pre-draft buzz that his stock was on the rise, Isaiah Cousins had to wait until after midnight, but the Mount Vernon product heard his name called just in time. Labissiere is a great value, but he’s a project, and the Kings don’t exactly exude the exterior of petrie dish for player development.
