Kings Select in the 2008 NBA DRAFT??
- Thread starter =LarryLegend=
- Start date
Much has been posted about Jordan in earlier posts in this same thread. He's a risk when compared to another freshman, Beasley. If Beasley is a ten, then Jordan is a 2. At this point, all he is, is potential. A 7ft athletic freak that has a lot to learn about playing basketball.
However, if he's available at 12, and you don't take him, and, he turns out to be the next Dwight Howard, you look like an idiot. Personaly, I would still take someone who has at least proven he can play at the college level, much less the NBA level. Does he have the potential to play great defense? Yes. Does he have a clue how to play defense? NO.

You never see the team that takes a decent player faulted for not taking a chance..
Guys like Lamar Odom over Rip Hamilton, and Shawn Marion.
Emeka Okafor over Al Jefferson, and Iguodala.
Odom, and Okafor were kind of your steady horse going into the draft. Nothing that jumped out at you, but nothing that screamed failure either. Jefferson, Igoudala, Marion were raw, and Hamilton didn't have much of an outside game. For a 2guard that was bad
I have a feeling that if Love comes out and averaged 15/10, and picked 6th over a guy like Jordan who in 3 years averaged 22-12-2 you wouldn't call the Love pick a failure.

See right from the beginnnig here, your basic premise is flawed. You see that team faulted all the time, and they should be. No guts no gloiry is a term that could have been designed with basketball in mind.
As an aside, Odom was considered a magical talent coming out of school. Okafor was the steady/solid, but if a team had taken him instead of Howard they would have been considered idiots (hindsight). But Odom was considered a potential superstar. He's turned out to be very good, but if anything a bit of a disappointment given the unique skillset.
In 1991 the Kings drafted Billy Owens. A player that, in many ways could be compared to Odom in skill set. Of course Owens turned into Mitch Richmond and all was well, but one would have to say that despite his not reaching expectations, Odom has turned out to be better than Owens. Not that Owens is much of a measuring stick.
Despite I hate him and especially his team, Gallinari will be a great player
Playoff, Game2, Gallinari scores 27 points (10/18 from the field 3/7 3pt 4/5 from the line) 8 rebounds 5 steals 0 turnover...
Not about draft, I still sponsorize DaShaun Wood... I heard he's talking with L.A. Clippers... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHNYvB_DFEQ

ok, looks like we got the lotto on May 20th then orlando camp May 27th-May30th and workouts....following that.
Who do you want to see in our 12th pick drafting range??
Id say
DeAndre Jordan
Nicholas Batum
Danilo Gallinari
Anthony Randolph
Darrell Arthur
Javale McGee
Dj Augustin
Donte Green
and i could also see Jason Thompson...since petrie went to one of his game before.

If you're asking who we should work out, I think that everybody up there, including Thompson, should be worked out given unlimited workout slots. Still, I don't think Gallinari or Randolph will be there.
I'd add:
Russell Westbrook
Tywon Lawson
Marreese Speights
Alexis Ajinca
Roy Hibbert
Joe Alexander
Kevin Love (just in case he falls)
But obviously I'd pare down the list if we couldn't see them all.
I'd like to take a long look at Jamont Gordon with our #42/#45.
