I don't like Monroe at all.

Re: Pre Draft Workout Thread
I'm positive Whiteside is the Wildcard, just check out some of the workout video on the kings site he's pretty awesome, Udoh could also be there and so could Aldrich, but from what I saw I think it's whiteside, the potential is palpable he could be awesome.
If we draft Monroe I will cry, he's nothing more than Thompson with less mobility and he can't run the floor well and he can't get off the floor well. Basically he's thompson with brad miller's current mobility level.
I'll take either of the big two if they are there but if not I think we should move down and look at Aldrich, Udoh, and WHiteside.

This.
Also just heard that one of those invited will likely not attend a second workout.

Re: Pre Draft Workout Thread
Just wouldn't be surprised to see players turn it down because they don't believe the Kings will really pass on Cousins/Monroe/Favors if they're there.
The days are getting short, so players might skip the 5% chance to go 5th, for a 20-30% chance to go do a second workout with a team in the 6-14 range.

I have a feeling that you might be talking about Whiteside here...

I haven't even said he was invited, all assumptions by you all.

Re: Pre Draft Workout Thread
Thats quite a shame :/ I'd rather have Whiteside over Monroe working out... that scares me.
EDIT: IF of course, that is who you are talking about.
BTW RookieWall, really enjoying your site. Thanks a bunch for coming around, really interesting interviews/reads.

Re: Pre Draft Workout Thread
According to my source, said wild card (at least MY wild card) will make his decision after another workout.

What is good news?
Should be an announcement soon if they're announce it. There's a chance they don't announce it and do it without media.

Re: Pre Draft Workout Thread
I just talked to my source, and he said that the Kings are going to pick someone at #5 or trade the pick.
