Geoff Petrie's European Tour

Ailene Voison noted on her blog yesterday that Geoff Petrie has been spending some time scouting the Euro talent (Voison also notes on the previous day's blog that Rob from Roseville is hilarious, so maybe we should take this information with the old silo of salt).

With the #12 #1, #42 and #45 picks, what do you think the odds are that Petrie picks up a player or two from Europe?

And 1

Gallinari and Batum figure to be gone in the 1st round, as well as Alexis Ajinca. Ante Tomic was highly rated at one point but has dropped off the draft boards.

I'd be more intrigued by Tomic

if I had more confidence in the Kings fitness staff. But, looking at the skinny legs of Douby, Martin, Cisco, Mikki and the lack of bulk generation from Spence, alongwith noted physical fitness disappointments with Miller, K-9, Bonzi. Throw that in with further concerns that the medical staff aren’t necessarily the best at keeping big men healthy (namely big men’s legs), I am also further concerned about throwing another non-banger into the post alongside Spence.

That said, those are only my interpretations and I could (and likely am) very wrong. Thanks for all the links section, it’s a bunch of very good reading.

What About

Serge Ibaka? I like Nathan Jawai as well. Good rebounding bigs.

He can shoot, and he looks great in a suit. Hey, everybody - It's REGGIE TIME!

There's talk

that Ibaka is not throwing in this year. Here’s a bio on him.

Goran Dragic

Does this guy remind of you of anyone?

Beno II?

Actually

He reminds me of Jon Cryer. Or Howdie Doody

But, sure, I’m cool with an all-Slovenian PG position.

Of all those guys

I’d want Pekovic.

He might work himself into being a great PF in a couple of years.

I like him too

but mainly cuz he’s Serbian, and Serbs have had a good track record in my memory (completely random uninformed opinion that is most likely very wrong).

Plus, dude looks solid.

Yep

But he will be gone in the very early second round. Kings need to trade up to get him.

What about Omer Asik?

He’s a 7ft combo PF/C and pretty good all around.

I can already hear Jerry hollering after any good thing he might do “Asik and ye shall receive!!”

Yeah, that’s pretty much my only reason for picking him. Sorry.

God bless you, Corliss. You always played as though you knew how expensive my tickets were. -section214

Jerryisms

Asik slams one home – “Omer goodness!”
Asik scores three straight baskets – “That’s a Omer run.”
Asik dancing seductively on the bench, rooting on his team – “He’s quite Omer sexual.”

LOL!

That’s it, done deal. Omer Asik with the 42nd pick goes to the Sacramento Kings!

Honestly? I can’t wait for the seductive bench dancing, there should be more of that in the NBA.

You guys get your dance teams, we ladies should demand seductive bench dancing from the team. It’s only fair.

wink

God bless you, Corliss. You always played as though you knew how expensive my tickets were. -section214
