Jrue.

Tough picking between Holiday and Evans for me. I'm not completely sold on either, but they both seem like great options. Ended up going with Holiday though.

Seems like Sacramento is fine on the PF/C rotation for now, and at SG with Kevin Martin. SF is relatively ok with guys like Francisco Garcia there to fill in, but PG is just a huge mess with only Beno Udrih, who really should be a 20 minute a night type guy. Bring in the PG to platoon with him now, but take over soon, and that team could be vastly improved. Still not playoff material for a few seasons, but much closer.

Yeah seriously, who is picking Jordan Hill for the Kings?

I took Harden for them. If he is 1/2 as good as I hear he is than he'll add instant offense on the perimeter, mid-range and finish at the rim. Adding a point guard makes a lot of sense here because they need one very bad. But even you guys are questioning if JRUE or Tyreke will surpass the hype. At number 4 they should take b.p.a.

I like BPA, too, which is why I chose Harden. They can probably trade him for 1 of the 2 PGs they want plus something in addition if they don't want Harden. Harden is a big dude though, at least it seems like it. I think he could play that 3. I don't really like Garcia as a starter longterm.

I think it simply has to be a PG for the Sacramento debacle. They're not going to be moving forward with Udrih at the helm, the only question would be who is their guy?

It's a toss up between Evans and Holiday I believe. I do see them being more impressed with Holiday of late, especially with his combine results. We all know Evans has a lot of potential, but perhaps he's a little too streaky for them.

I vote Jrue.

I vote Jrue. The Kings need a PG more than anything else. They gotta take best available PG.

See, I thought about Harden, but I think they are still set at the 2 with Kevin Martin, and their hole at PG is huge. Plus, I just love Holiday. He is easily my #3 in this draft behind Griffin and Rubio.
