From ESPN's Draft Info:
Draft Projection: Second round to undrafted

Positives:

# Tough, physical player
# Tenacious rebounder
# Excellent motor
# Blue collar worker who never takes off a possession
# Good finisher around the basket

Negatives:

# Undersized for his position
# Lacks great athleticism
# Not a polished perimeter scorer
# Poor free throw shooter

Summary: Apr 14 Update: Brockman is known as a tough warrior in the paint, but he isn’t considered a top prospect because of his lack of athleticism and tendency to play below the rim. However, at Portsmouth, he came out aggressive, grabbing 21 rebounds and scoring 24 points in the first game. A few scouts were buzzing about what appeared to be more explosive athletic ability than expected from Brockman. Some scouts call him a poor man’s Tyler Hansbrough. I’m not sure how far that gets him in the draft, but it could land him somewhere in the second round.

Jan 2 Update: Brockman is sort of a so-so Tyler Hansbrough clone. Considering the NBA scouts aren’t convinced that Hansbrough is a lottery pick, you can understand why they have Brockman pegged as a second-rounder at best.

OK, I'm talking myself into Kent Brockman

Looking at his info vs Brown, the Brock-man is a better rebounder, and it lists a knock on Brown as being “passive”, the opposite of Brockman. Shrug.

Yahoo! analysis...

“Brockman was a bit of mystery because he didn’t really work out for teams, leading some to speculate he had received some sort of guarantee — even with second-round money. He’ll have a legit chance to make the Kings’ roster. Grinder and the Kings could use some grit.”

Guess Hawes got on Petrie’s case and wanted someone to debate politics with

Petrie

saw Brown, Calathes and Mills in Sacramento. Not sure if he saw Brockman there but he obviously wasn’t impressed enough with the others…

Kent Brockman

If he doesn’t make it as a basketball player, he could certainly get a job as an anchorman.

Goodnight

I’m going to call it a night. I’m going to let all of this sink in. I’m going to re-read my “Here’s To You, Jason Thompson” post from last year’s draft day. I’ll write a reaction piece tomorrow night.

The more I think about the Evans pick, the more pissed I get

I went to Canis Hoopus to check out there draft thread. They had split it up into different parts like we did here. But the combined number of comments for all their draft threads were barely more than this thread alone. And they got our guy? This fuckin sucks

dalt had Brockman rated as a 78.5

From dalt rankings: 77-82: Career Reserve/6th Man potential – These are the energy guys of the NBA. These players almost never become solid starters in the NBA. About half scoring in this rank will be out of the league in 3 years while the other half will be able to find a team to stick with and have a long career bringing some needed energy off the bench. Bobby Jackson (81.5), Kenny Thomas (81.5), Trevor Ariza (81), Daniel Gibson (79.5) and Eddie House (79.5) are among the players to score in this group.

You can love this draft or hate it but the one thing all the picks have in common is they are ALL tough. You guys whining about how bad the Kings are going to be, get over yourselves. We drafted a player with at least all star potential, got a pure pg from Portland and picked up 2 guys who bring a lot of toughness and energy to a team that had very little of either last season. Shut the natt up at least until we make summer league and we see what some of these guys can do!

The Kings were probably going to be terrible no matter who they drafted.

That’s what a rebuild is . . . have some patience people.

Well, I am glad Petrie didn't do what I was wanting...

I was wanting them to hopefully trade down to #8, thinking that at least Flynn would slide there. Well, that would explain why I am up posting blogs instead of being the King’s GM.

Ok, I lied

I stayed awake and wrote my reaction tonight. Putting it up now.
