Interview w/ Jason Jones about Draft Prospects
Cool little interview here w/ Jason Jones from The Bee. Nothing new information-wise, but it's cool to hear his opinions outside the context of his reporting at the paper. He says the Kings will go for Cousins, or if he's gone, then Monroe. As for the trade rumors involving Prince and Hedo, he says they're hogwash.
The one idea he voiced that I thought was interesting was that he said he wanted the Kings to draft Cousins because he has a chippy on-court attitude, and that the only other guy on the Kings with that sort of attitude is Nocioni, who's likely to be traded before the season.
I guess he's sort of right. Cisco has a bit of an on-court swagger, Reke to an extent, Omri yeah, Brockman likes to bang... Who else? They're really a bunch of pretty mellow guys. Cousins could definitely be a good emotional spark plug.

I would love...
To see the Kings draft Cousins I think the whole attitude thing is a little overblown. I think if we get a player with his size, and his swagger on the court that it will be great for us.

The summary of this interview isn't quite right
He actually says that if the Kings don’t draft Cousins and Johnson is on the board that the Kings could go with Johnson.
If Johnson is there, otherwise...
But from what I’m hearing, if Cousins isn’t there, they’ll likely go with Monroe.

Right, but if Cousins isn't there Johnson will probalby be there
And vice versa. Unless Favors or Turner drops. His responses don’t make much sense.
He pretty much says if Cousins is there we will take him
And if he is gone Johnson is in play. I think as teams watch Cousins workouts he has a chance to make them forget the red flags and move up. I agree with Jones though that he is exactly the kind of player we need.
LaMarcus Aldridge is the most over rated and over paid player in NBA. Tyreke Evans will be better than Brandon Roy this year.

With Dalembert now
this is all completely up in the air. I suppose the Kings still need another center on roster, but do they use the number 5 pick on a center?

I think Cousins-Monroe are still 1 and 2 options for Kings
They acquired a Center for a Center and neither Monroe or Cousins are known as defensive presences, just like Hawes wasn’t.

I agree
Still draft a big with the first round pick, then get a guard of some sort w/ the second rounder.
