#1 - Anthony Davis
#2 - Thomas Robinson
#3 - Bradley Beal
#4 - Harrison Barnes
#5 - Andre Drummond
#6 - Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

The Kings are gunning for Barnes but if they strike out there I expect them to take Drummond with a boom or bust type pick.

I doubt the maloofs allowing this, they need to sell tickets.

Eric Gordon? O.J. Mayo? Landry Fields? Nick Young? The first two are restricted. Not much choice at SG in free agency.

Why? Drummond and Cousins as a frontcourt would be exceptionally marketable - it could be downright scary if Drummond doesn't bust. Also consider that they have Fredette, Evans, Thornton, Salmons, Garcia, Outlaw and Greene at SG-SF (PG too).

No it's not. Drummond is a project and will take a year or two to come into his own. Plus Cousins and him are fairly similar, making them not the best pairing in the world. MKG would have an immediate impact and someone they can hype up to their season ticket holders/buyers right off the bat. The Maloofs are SERIOUSLY hurting for money, they can't keep dumping cash into projects. They need a guy who can get be marketable right away. If he falls to #5, there's zero chance the Kings pass on him for Drummond. I just don't see it.

Tyler Zeller saying that he hears he could go as high as #6 to Portland. LOL. Good luck with that Ty.

Drummond's measurements at the combine were obscene, he makes Howard look like a slouch. I don't think there's any chance he drops to 6.

MKG sounds dumber than dirt. I'm glad we don't have to pick him.

Didn't we just trade Kidd-Gilchrist in Mar? :-?

I think I'd switch MKG and Drummond but spot on besides that. I feel like we will move up with at least one of our picks to ensure we get 1 if not 2 of these guys listed.

Yes but he can play. I'd pick him at number 2 if we had that pick and its not close in my mind. Here's an interview for whoever asked:

Why the Henson love? I think he is gonna be a serviceable big that can play the 4/5 but I don't see any star potential and just a better version of Keon Clark

He's athletic and has a decent back to the basket game. I think he can overcome the size issue. I guess he's a gamble pick but I think he pans out and he might be available at 11.
