Kings secure #15 pick!
I couldn't resist posting this. Hoopshype came out with their first mock draft of the year, and thanks to our record, we're picking 15th (non-lottery!!!).
Welcome to Sacramento, Larry Sanders!

Sanders plays down the street from me here (at my former school)
Ive seen him play many times and prob will a few times this season.
He actually wouldnt be a bad fit for the Kings were we to land him. He is a monster shot blocker, very athletic. Good boarder, def. not much on the offensive end yet but he has a huge upside. Like a more coordinated, athletic Thabeet. Super long arms.
Who? I'd better go look.
Though I’m still guessing we’re top ten and have a shot AND MIRACULOUSLY WIN – the Lottery.
So imitate the action of the tiger!.

There aren't many good you tube clips at all
and VCU doesnt have the toughest conference around. Would be a gamble but I think we should really go for an inside defensive presence next draft.
We got a lot of offense.

Need another PF/C
and the top of the draft IS full of them. DFavors makes me drool. (his game!)

Thabeet is going to get jealous
You go from big man to big man like it’s nothing
The future begins now...
Not since college
(it was just an experimental phase!)

Have you seen him play? GT only played on exhibition game where he scored 15.
What exactly makes you ‘drool’? Average height at 6-9/6-10 with athleticism. I smell another Tyrus Thomas so far.
I heard he killed at the McDonald’s game but that’s like a high school all-star game. I can usually evaluate PGs and SGs at the high school level but it’s hard to say with big men since they’re usually just dunking.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
So you would have taken Greg Oden over Kevin Durant right?
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Is Favors comparable to Kevin Durant? You haven't even seen him play. Don't comment.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
Have you seen Favors play in a live game?
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
I'm looking forward to it
Wall as well

And you missed my point about Durant vs Oden
So, don’t comment until you do.

What separates Favors from Thomas is an inside game.
Favors is a presence in the paint, something Sacramento desperately needs and something Thomas can’t provide.
What's the past tense for "scam?" Is it "scrumped?"
He scored 15 points in one pre-season college game.
U can tell that he has a better inside game than Thomas? Did you see a full high school game of his?
I don’t get it.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
I assume that his inside game is better than TT's
From what I’ve seen, Favors actually plays in the low post. I’ve noticed that Thomas either scores
from mid-range or by cutting and dunking.
Are you really going to determine his ability to score inside by basing it on one game?
What's the past tense for "scam?" Is it "scrumped?"
If we miss out on Favors, Aldrich seems like a good pick.
He might seem aloof, but he doesn’t shy away from contact. We could definitely use him.
We could take a gamble on Renardo Sidney with our 2nd pick. He’s pretty good IMO.
What's the past tense for "scam?" Is it "scrumped?"
I think Aldrich would make a great back up center that could fill the lane for 20 minutes a game.
He rebounds well and he’ll block a few shots. Nothing wrong with that. Remember, in a limited role Cole Aldrich would do fine.
I saw Sidney play some San Diego high school and I thought he was alright. His competition was this 6-8 guy that didn’t seem to defend too well. He could dunk and rebound a little but that was due to his size than skill.
I can’t comment too much on the underclassmen bigs since all the notables already declared for the draft. If Greg Monroe was more on the Shawn Kemp/Dwight Howard side of the fence than the Bynum/Hibbert side, I’d take him in a heart beat. I hate bigs that are inconsistent head cases.
Can’t wait to catch some early tournaments to see what potential bigs will be coming in.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
Glad to see someone name drop a player they've actually seen.
MUCH Kudos to you, VB!!!
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
Unrelated
But Donté Greene is currently 3rd in the league in PER at SF.
Man, I love the early part of the season!

I just read a few of those summaries
just save me from anyone described as ‘rail thin’.

Trust me, I wouldnt describe him that way and Ive seen him up close.
He has a muscular build and is pretty young. At 6’10, he has the longest wingspan in college basketball. Thin, but not Kevin Martin rail thin.
Offensively, he needs work.

He played with Eric Maynor last season.

That was confusing I know
I was talking about some of the other write-ups, not his.

10 of the first rounders have "upside"
20 apparently do not.

I was at the CAA championship game, VCU vs. George Mason last year.
Sanders had 18 pts, 20 rebounds, 7 blocks.
Im biased because its my college team, but Im just sayin.
He threw down vicious dunks all over The Bruins. His wingspan is 7 freakin 7.
Of course, Id rather have a higher pick somehow.
But Sanders stock could rise considerably—altho VCU will have a Herculean task reaching the tourney this year without Maynor.

They get their ass kicked by the Richmond Spiders. The most consistent Cinderlla team in the history
of the tourney … who my dad played for actually in the late ’60s, covering the likes of Bobby Cremmins, etc. Dean Smith was just starting coaching.
I don't care where Petrie picks...
He’s gonna get the Kings a solid player, BOOK IT!
BOOK IT!

Except when he takes Quincy Douby

I predict he will never draft Quincy Douby again!

Don't be so sure
If I had a nickle for every time Geoff Petrie made our predictions look foolish…

Douby just got waived by Toronto
per Marc stein’s twitter (sorry, don’t have the link). JustARealDude is blogless now.
The future begins now...
How shocking

I guess it wasn't the coaching
keeping him at 30% shooting

Douby actually had some good #s so far
55% fg, 44% 3pt, only 4.4 in 10min a game – but not bad. Just too small for a low volume scorer non PG I guess. He was getting 10 minutes, must be planning on replacing him with someone.
