Alright, Sacramento lost the lottery. So, not knowing who everyone will draft, here are my three choices for each of the Kings three draft picks. I believe in drafting for talent, not position. However, in a perfect world, I would like to see the Kings get a small forward, point guard and post with the three picks. The Kings have two promising young posts with Jason Thompson and Spencer Hawes and two shooting guards with Kevin Martin and Francisco Garcia. The Kings desperately need to upgrade at the point even though they invested a lot of money in Beno Udrih and need to find a small forward, as Andres Nocioni is not the answer at this stage in his career, and the staff hardly played Donte Greene last season so he is still an unknown. As for the post, a shot blocker or a brawny rebounder/hustle guy like Paul Milsap would be perfect. So, here are my picks:
#4
Top Choice: Tyreke Evans. I see a big physical potential star in the mold of Rodney Stuckey or, best case, Chauncey Billups. Probably not the best fit for the Princeton-offense and he needs to improve, but he seems to have the personality that he wants to be great.
Next Choice: Terrence Williams. Call me crazy, but I think he is a great fit and I think he has the size and skill to be a great guard. He can play some point-forward, makes good decisions and can be a lock down defender on the wing, which is important in a division with Kobe Bryant and a conference with Carmelo Anthony, Brandon Roy and others.
Other: Stephen Curry. If the Kings stick with the Princeton-offense, he is the best fit. He's not a true point guard, but neither was Mike Bibby. Curry's a purer shooter than Bibby and has a high I.Q. He's dropping on other's draft boards, but I don't know why. All he did was score, hit tough shots and exhibit a high level of intelligence. Many may call him a reach at #4, but I would be happy with him at #4.
It should be noted that I am big on the mental, emotional and psychological side. I want to know who has the killer instinct and who is driven to be the best, like Kobe Bryant or LeBron James. So, my ultimate pick would depend largely on the personal interviews and conversations with their coaches. I want a player unafraid of high expectations who wants to lead from day one.
#23
It's hard to know who exactly will be available at #23.
Best Case: Sam Young. I'd like to see Young play small forward with the Kings. He grew on me as I watched him play and he showed more perimeter skills. He has a great shot fake and a good offensive game.
Next Choice: Tyler Hansborough. I want Hansborough. The Kings have not had a player like him in years,maybe since Mark Ohlberding. He is a winner and a kid who will do everything possible. I draft him and hope that his intensity, his desire and his winning attitude rub off on all his teammates. I want a player like Paul Milsap and I think he has the relentless motor to be that guy.
Other: Patrick Mills. I would be happy to draft Mills at this point. Anyone who watched Aaron Brooks against the Lakers got a glimpse of the type of positives that Mills could bring. Brooks is a better finisher, but Mills is a savvy player with Olympic experience and is another tough player and a good shooter who just wants to win.
#31
It's always a crap shoot judging who will be here at #31, so here are a couple options:
Best case: Nick Calathes. I like Calathes. I think he is an underrated point guard because people question his ability to play the point with his height. But, he runs the pick-and-roll well and he's a good passer and shooter. If somehow the Kings get to this point and have yet to pick a PG, I'd love to see Calathes in Sacramento.
Next: Toney Douglas. I loved Douglas when I watched him. He can defend, and the Kings desperately need a defender. Plus, he's a shooter and he wants the ball. As I write this, I get more and more excited about him. Even if the Kings take a PG early, I could see Douglas playing the old Bobby Jackson-role for the Kings.
Next: Taj Gibson. I watch the Pac-10 a lot, so I saw him play frequently. Gibson blocks shots, has great timing and finishes around the basket. He's the type of player that you need to have off the bench.

no collison? I am surprised. I was laughing today listening to local talk radio whine about not getting the #1 pick. While I like Griffin, I think that he would be a 5th or 6th pick in most other drafts. This draft is heavier on the middle range than the top. I love the idea of Evans and I think that Williams might be around later. Williams is Steven Jackson without the desire to score as much.
ESPN is projecting the Kings draft Hill from AZ. While I like his skill set, I think that he falls right into the type of player that wont succeed. I may have to eat my words, but he does not seem to have the desire to be a star. Local radio seems to think that Rubio will fall to the kings at #4. What are your thoughts?
A perfect world would be for them to trade down and still get Evans.
I kind of think that Rubio falls to the Kings at #4. I like Mills over Collison at #23 and figured he'd be gone by #31. Plus, I really want Hansborough. I've always wanted Hansborough with the Rockets' pick.
I'm not sold on Rubio or Jennings because neither can shoot at all. I haven't seen Jennings much, but he seems like more of an NBA PG than Rubio because of his quickness and with the no hand check rule, quick guards can get into the paint at will. I see Evans with the ability to become a Dwayne Wade type player. Wade couldn't shoot very well out of college. The only thing that worries me about Evans is that he should have shot more free throws. If the Kings run the Princeton offense with the new coach, I like Curry or Williams. Curry for obvious reasons, but I think Williams could be like Doug Christie was in the glory years, but better.
I could definitely live with Williams, Mills and Gibson with next year's starting line-up
PG Mills
SG Martin
SF Williams
PF Thompson
C Hawes
with Garcia, Gibson and Greene off the bench. That would be a really young team, but a team that could develop much like Portland has done and like others are trying to emulate.
James Harden gets the comparisons to B-Roy because people somehow believe that they are both unathletic, but I think T-Will resembles B-Roy more so than does Harden.
I just don't see as many trade downs as the NFL draft and I don't know who a team would trade up to draft since there is such little consensus on any of the players beyond #2. Who would Toronto, Golden State or New York covet to such a degree that they would trade up? My feelings are that if the guy you want is available at your pick, you take him regardless of perception. Drafting in football is different because there are so many more players and needs and playing time and such little difference between a mid-1st rounder and a 2nd rounder. In basketball, if there is a guy you want, take him. I only trade the pick if there is nobody after the top 3 that the Kings want, which I'd find hard to believe as any of the top 7 PGs would be an upgrade over Udrih.
