Mitch hit the nail on the head.

I have seen Jordan play a couple of times and really wasn't all that impressed with this athleticism. He seems to get off the floor OK but he isn't really jaw droppingly mobile.

I like Smills list of 4 guys. I think all 4 could come and help this team. I also really like the idea of having love at Power Forward. From watching him play last year he seems like a guy that could turn out to be a 18 and 10 type of guy that makes plays. He also see very smart on the court.

Urg. If we take Love I will honestly break something. Everything about him screams one dementional and overrated.

What dimension are you talking about? His passing, shooting, post skills or rebounding? :lol:

Love
Westbrook
Speights
Arthur

If someone like Gordon, Mayo fall grab em, but they won't.
DO NOT draft Jordan at any cost.

I do not understand this at all..

DeAndre Jordan is exactly what this team needs. I dont think he will be available when it is our turn to pick, but if he is there we definitly should consider taking him. I dont think he will end up like Dwight Howard but I dont think he will end up being like Kwame Brown either. More Howard than Brown.

This is what my order looks like:
DJ Augustin
Russel Westbrook
DeAndre Jordan
Darrel Arthur

Let's wait till workouts?

I'm not a big fan of Russel Westbrook, on offense Westbook is basically a small shooting guard, On defense he lack a bit of strength . and I'm not a big fan of combo guards anyway. i think combo guards are a dime a dozen these days. Most teams would kill to find a 100% true pure point guard.

Why do that when we can endlessly speculate a bunch of things, most of which will probably prove to be wrong later?

Come on, let's use our heads here. :lol:

That's a horrible description of him. Most people see that he's 6'3'' and played the 2 sometimes but he's NOT a combo or shooting guard. Hell he averaged more APG than Collison(UCLA's guy playing PG). I watched hella UCLA games and he's a good passer and a good defender. The only thing he has to work on is ball handling and his J. But he's not a combo guard.

(picture)

Like I said he gets off the floor OK but he didn't impress me all that much in terms of mobility and lateral movement.

I don't think we really have to be focused much on us taking Love... other guys I'd say are more likely.

Ugh, a point guard who needs to work on ball handling? lol jesus.

Hahaha, sorry.

For me, I've pretty much have killed every possible trade/draft/rebuilding plan for the Kings either on the boards or in my head already.

As for the draft, I really don't care who the pick is, as long as Petrie is confident in him (Like Mitch said).

Again, I believe Petrie will always find one of the better players in each draft, maybe not the best player, but one of the better ones.

And this draft more than any other draft that I can remember has a ton of question marks.

Jordan can be great, and also a bust.
McGee can be great if he continues, or a bust.
Love can be great, or a bust.
Westbrook, Augustine, Collison, all either great or busts (not that extreme, but you know what I mean).

Really, I think this draft, more than any draft in the past decade, will prove the skill of Petrie's drafting ability.

Lotto day here we come. =]

Collison pulled out a couple weeks ago.

It's not that Westbrook really has bad ball handling skills it's just that he rushes it a little when he drives. If he tries to penetrate but doesn't have the right angle he might lose his dribble when going to the hoop.

However his combination of speed height and court vision will make him a very good PG in the NBA. Not to mention his great defensive instincts and his size advantage.

Westbrook is a PG he isn't a combo guard and he isn't a SG. Westbrook is as much of a combo guard as mike bibby, he looks to create for himself first but then gets his teammates involved. He did a great job of getting everyone involved when he would drive and Kick.

I am personally terrified of drafting Jordan and him being a huge bust his lack of any true skills bothers me. He may have the complete physical package but if he doesn't have the skills to actually use them then why bother drafting the guy. He wasn't anything special on defense and his offense was pitiful.
