#1 and #2 pick are no-brainers. If the Kings were to win the lottery Derrick Rose is our man, #2 would be either Rose or Beasley depending on who #1 takes, but then who would you guys take #3 overall if we got lucky in the lottery?

Bayless?
Lopez?
Mayo?

or somebody else. List who you'd rather grab than one of the consensus "top 5".

I would go with Arthur. He fits and is a big need for our team. That would move Moore to the bench if not from the get go by the all star break. And would be a nice combo with Hawes for the future.

Bayless is a better version of Douby. Combo PG/SG we have too many guys like that already.

AT NUMBER 3?

Arthur is being projected in the 12-20 range. If that's who you want you trade down to maybe NJ for 10/21 and grab Arthur at 10 and Earl Clark at 21.

I think Bayless... the talent drop from 2 to 3 stinks. But Bayless is basically Mayo but actually good and I'm not to fond of how overrated Lopez is.

If we had number three I'd trade down...

If ever we get the number 3 spot then i would rather trade it for NJ's 10/21 picks...Thats if we get "lucky" :D

My bad I read the question but was still thinking realistically were we are going to pick. Yeah I guess I would have to take DJ at 3. But I agree we would be better off trading down as there is no sure thing after 1 & 2 although Mayo will probably be a great player in the league I dont like his attitude. He needs a hard caoch to straighten him up and let him know he isnt a prep star anymore and needs to really prove himself.

If I stillhad faith in Theus I would go with Mayo for the potential. I mean think how depressing it could be 4 years from now if he is the next best thing and we passed him up.....Think JOE KLINE!

I'd probably go with Mayo or trade down. I'm on the fence on whether or not he can play the point full time but he does have more potential than anyone else in that range.

It'd be a toss up between Mayo and Bayless for me--depending pretty much entirely on whether I think either can be really be PGs. Otherwise, I would trade down.

It's between Mayo and Bayless for me as well. I lean towards Bayless because I think he's a much more SURE thing than Mayo, but Mayo has much more BOOM potential.

Trade it to the clippers for their 6th pick and a future pick and take Anthony Randolph.

But if I had to pick it would be Mayo, simply because I have not seen Bayless play.

I'd love Bayless but I'd have to go with Mayo. I don't think he dominated in college like some thought but still has that upside.

OJ Mayo... out of all of the players you've got there Mayo has the best ability to grow. He really seems determined... something you see in LeBron or Kobe... but he will need to mature, which he definitely will.
