Who would you rather have?

I just really hope we get one of these two guys in the draft... I would actually preffer Stephenson, the dude is amazing, kinda like Evans when it comes to size 6'6" 195lbs. Stephenson/Martin/Evans combination would be really nice.

Stephenson seems to have bad character issues and I think that that should be the last thing that the Kings want. They need talented players that will come in without disrupting the team's chemistry. I actually hope that if the Kings get a high lottery pick, that they'll be able to package the pick and maybe someone like Kenny Thomas for a decent PF or C (i.e., someone who can bang down low, collect rebounds, get easy buckets and be a general pain in the a$$ for other teams to play against).

Is Stephenson the kid who would not sign with a school unless they paid him? Now he goes to a less than impresive school for his talent... Pass. Give me Wall.

BTW. How high does John Wall look in that picture..

Don't know alot about Stephensen, but I like Wall alot.
Sometimes you just have to look yourself in the mirror and say....Tyreke Evans.
That just happened.

Stephenson's youtube footage isn't nearly as impressive as John Wall's....for what it's worth.

Unless Stephenson impress the heck out of me (even though, he is very good in his own right), it's John Wall for me.

Can Evans play the SF position effectively? I haven't really put much thought to it. IMO we can but I don't think we are using his talents effectively though. (But than again, Evans is so versatile he can play the 1-2-3 positions to an extent)

I think he's a matchup nightmare at the 3. He is as quick as a PG with a SF body. He just needs to work on his shot obviously.

OR

We draft Wall, move Evans to SG, and trade Martin for all-star caliber PF. Sign and trade for Bosh? Although I don't personally think a Wall/Evans backcourt is that complementary. Extremely good defensively though.

I agree NNN.

I think having those options will make other potential opportunities more ideal and beneficiary for this franchise.

For an unsigned Bosh? No way.

Why would the Raptors agree a SnT Bosh to Sacramento? I thought Toronto would like to keep Bosh. If anything, Toronto will re-sign Bosh to themselves. Unless, Bosh is demanding a trade.

Don't see Bosh anywhere near wearing a King jersey in the near future, so not even going to think about that. As for who I'd rather have between these two? Wall would be nicer and I think the better player, but just seems like we would get destroyed with Wall, Martin, and Evans at 1, 2, and 3.

I realistically can see Bosh leaving Toronto (they won't be getting him any rings), but yea, I don't think he would pick us. I'd like to see us at least make a play for him though. It sure would be nice to have him...

Anyway Wall for sure, have Evans at the 2, and then ship Martin' always-injured-ass for whatever we can get, or even have Martin coming off the bench, even though he'd be one expensive bench player.

Yeah, all it takes is about 4 seconds of a John Wall youtube vid before your jaw hits the floor. With that said, I'm really, really interested to see what Favors, Cousins, Henry, and Henson are going to do this year.
