In the time leading up to the June 23rd NBA Draft, Sacramento Kings general manager Scott Perry is surely considering all of his options. One idea that\u2019s been floated is the Oklahoma City Thunder combining their 12th- and 17th-round picks to move up.<\/p>\n
Falling to seventh on lottery night, is that a package they should consider in order to pick up another selection? Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybansta, Cameron Boozer, and Caleb Wilson are widely viewed to be the top four.<\/p>\n
After that, there are intriguing guards of various styles between Kingston Flemings, Darius Acuff, Keaton Wagler, and Mikel Brown Jr. All of those guys could be off the board if they moved down to 12 and 17, but would the trade off be worth it?<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Carmichael Dave discussed the idea of making that move on\u00a0The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think OKC would do that,\u201d he said. \u201cScott Perry and Sam Presti have worked together before. They made a swap last year. They\u2019ve worked on the same side together before. They have a good relationship. So, I do think this is something to keep an eye on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Without a pick in the last draft, Perry traded a future pick to Prestie and the Thunder in exchange for the 24th pick, which they used to draft Nique Clifford. Maybe trading down could be a fallback in case the board doesn\u2019t shape up as they would hope.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have established that there\u2019s not much between seven and 12, depending on who\u2019s off the board, I might tell Sam Presti, \u2018Look, here\u2019s the deal, we\u2019ve got the framework. If X player, and let\u2019s assume it\u2019s Acuff, if he\u2019s on the board at seven, we take him. But if he\u2019s not on the board, we\u2019ve got ourselves a deal.\u201d<\/p>\n
