Raptors RealGM Mock Draft: The Kings select...

[vini_vidi_vici]

Next on the clock is the Sacramento Kings. I think the Kings take Johnson, and if hes not available, they take Aminu because they have their bigs of the future, and the rest of the top 15 is big heavy. I could see them moving down if they could get the right swing man too. Could Cousins really slide if the TWolves do take Johnson?

(not updated, says WAS in the 5!)Al-Fahrouq Aminu - HoopDoctors

Aminu was wise to return for his sophomore season since he has greatly improved his draft stock by both proving he can score in other ways besides the dunk and by leading the Demon Deacons to the 2nd round of the NCAA Tourney. Possessing a 7′4 wingspan, Aminu can score, rebound and swat shots with proficiency. Another year in college would have done him wonders, but with the uncertainty at Wake concerning a new coach and stellar incoming recruiting class, the time was right for Al to leave. Needs to improve jumpshot and get stronger, but at only 19 yrs old is an intruiging prospect. Comparison: Josh Smith

I'd say this is where the draft will really open up. I'll go with Aminu.

[Relentless88]

Wesley Johnson is the consensus 5th pick right now.

[ATLTimekeeper]

I'm gonna say Aldrich. Hawes stinks. Landry is a beast at the 4, and Thompson's a decent talent. Then they have some good young stretch 4/3s in Greene and Casspi, so I think Aminu and Johnson are out of the running. Aldrich gives them a good solid Perkins-type C. 25-30 minutes a night, a couple of elbows, blocked shots and 8-9 boards.

[AlriteWOLF]

Aminu would be the better fit. But knowing Sac they will take Wes's Johnson

[mapko81]

Greg Monroe. I think Sac will give up on Spencer Hawes as their C of the future pretty soon.
