I just can't justify the Kings passing on a PG in one of the most loaded PG drafts because they're content with Bogdanovic as our future PG. I can't buy that argument at all. I'm not saying Bogdanovic can never become a NBA pg, but as you implied, he wouldn't really be a traditional PG. When it comes down to crunch time at the end of the games, could you trust Bogdanovic to effectively be able to bring the ball down the court and run a play? I haven't see him do a lot of that in Turkey.
If we saw Bogdanovic as our future PG, while Hield as our future SG, who plays defense between the two? Both guys are extremely limited due to their average quickness. Bogdanovic would probably struggle guarding SGs, so putting him on PGs would be even less ideal.
Bogdanovic and Iggy might have similar lengths, but they have completely different bodies. Iggy is an outlier for short SFs, and remember, he started out his career as a SG. It wasn't even until he got traded to Denver where he started playing more SF. He has really narrow shoulders, so he'd need to add on at least 20lbs.
If the Kings really wanted to settle for Bogdanovic at PG, then I think we'd need absolute defensive studs at PF or C. This could open room for a player like Zach Collins or Jarrett Allen. You talked about how Willie was forced to over-help a lot this year, and I see the same thing happening next year. In Skal's first year, his offense was fantastic. However, his defense was putrid...he does have tools to be good, but aside from a few athletic blocks every 3-4 games, he didn't do much at all on that end.
If we didn't already have Buddy, I think Bogdanovic would be our franchise SG, while Malachi could be our franchise SF. In the end, it's a good problem to have anyways. You can never have too much talent...unless you're Rob Hennigan and trades everyone away for pennies. I'm higher on Richardson than most(I know, a shocker after how I viewed him as a prospect), and I hope he doesn't become the forgotten man behind all of this. I think he's a bit more talented than both of those guys.
Look, I don't disagree with a lot of what you say. There is no perfect answer to how we'll use all the players we have. At least not now, but then that's the job of the coach to solve. All I'm trying to do is point out some potential uses of different players. Where they eventually end up playing, or how good they'll be, is up for grabs. But what I'm not going to do, is discount any possibility. I've been burnt too many times over the years by making statements about what a player can or can't do.
There are players that come into the league, and the from the get go, you just know they're going to be great. Those are the easy one's to judge. Then there are players that come into the league, that have potential in some areas of their game, but also have some obvious flaws. So, your not sure how good they'll be and all you can do is make an educated guess. Anyone can point out the flaws of a player. Give me a name, and I'll find something wrong with that player. I try to look at a players positives and promote them, but at the same time, not ignore his flaws. Too many people ignore the positives, and emphasis nothing but the flaws. He can't defend! He has poor handles! His outside shot is broken! Etc, etc!
You say you haven't seen Bogdanovic bring the ball up the court in crunch time very much. So tell me, how many actual games have you seen Bogdanovic play. Do you live in Turkey? Or anywhere in Europe? If so, then that statement has credibility, but if not, then your in the same boat as me, limited to what you can find on line. And that is very limited in total. So my point is, I don't make statements like that. It actually would be a true statement if I made it, but it would also be an abstract statement. I would have not bothered to mention that I only saw 2 entire games that he played. Hardly a measurable sampling.
By the same token, I saw every single game Kentucky played this year. So when I make a statement about Fox, or Monk etc, I feel like I'm giving a credible opinion. Now I'm a junkie, with way too much time on my hands. I have two DVR's going full blast all season long. I watch, if I'm not too tired, up to five college basketball games every night. Some I have to re-watch because I fall asleep. I'm not trying to toot my own horn here. My point is, that despite watching all those games, I still have doubts about a lot of the players.
So everything that concerns you are legit concerns. I have the same concerns. I had concerns about Kawhi Leonard and Stef Curry. I also had concerns about Jimmer Fredette and Thomas Robinson. I had concerns about Drummond, and to some extent, my concerns about Drummond have materialized. Yes, he played better than I thought he would, but he hasn't gotten significantly better since he's been in the league either.
So if you asked me, based on what I have seen of Bogdanovic, can he play the PG position? I would say that yes, he probably could on the offensive side of the ball, depending on what you expected of him. But I would have concerns on the defensive of the ball. Can Joerger develop a good team defense that's capable of hiding Bog's weaknesses? Don't know. I think with Willie and Skal together, the potential for that is possible, but at the moment, a lot of work needs to be done.
