Yeah setting them up for 24 hours. If someone is well in front on a poll I may cut it just a bit short, as I don't think I have enough days.

My app can't view polls. I vote WCS

This is between Porzingis and WCS obviously. WCS can start next to Cousins while Porzingis can't.

I like Porzingis but he's not ready to contribute in a big way this year. He's more of a long-term plan. For me, it's either WCS or Johnson. Johnson just turned 19 a couple of days ago. Obviously, he has the age factor going for him. Dude is big and strong for the position he plays. Very good defensively and can score in many different ways -- from spot up shooting to getting to the rim. I wouldn't be upset if he's the Kings pick.

That said, WCS is a guy I think we need more of, imo. WCS is Karl's "rim runner" that he has been talking about. The moment he steps onto the NBA court, he will be the best end-to-end big in the game. That's super valuable. He anchored (with KAT) the best NCAA defense last season. His ability to defend the perimeter and his use of athletic abilities to alter shots at the rim are sorely needed by the Kings. WCS will improve the Kings' defense in day one. He's offensively limited to lobs, easy buckets & etc, but we don't have problems scoring the ball with Cousins & Rudy doing most of that though. I would be happy with the WCS draft selection.

Johnson all the way but at least Cauley-Stein would be a rotation player.

I'm a little torn though, because I know what Vlade said and all but if the Magic are dumb enough to pass on the Porzingis the Kings might be the only team that can afford to take the chance and have it not kill the franchise if he doesn't pan out. If he does? Porzingis/Cousins, count the rings!

If WCS was not there I'd consider it too.

Voted WCS. I like the idea of having two defensively versatile bigs. Also think we can make some noise in 17 with starting 5 of DC, Ben, Gay, WCS and DMC and improved bench unit.

I went with Johnson, but I wouldn't be upset with WCS.

Curious how the Johnson people see that working with Gay?

They probably see Gay or Johnson playing the 4 or Johnson playing the 2.

Looks like WCS. Thanks for playing, folks.

Karl has said that they want to be able to switch pick and roll so consistent size and strength across the perimeter is critical. Offensively with one more shooter you would have a fully spreadable offense around Cousins with, depending on who they have at SG, 5 players all capable of attacking off the dribble. I saw some quote from Karl on the news board not too long ago talking about how pure shooters like Korver get figured out in the playoffs whereas the shooters that can attack are "kicking a$$". Johnson can do that plus has great defensive potential. With Gay and Johnson, or Winslow for that matter and maybe even Hezonja, you'd have a very versatile group of wings that can play more than one spot.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
