I am so ecstatic! Cousins is dominant. Cousins and Evans are 2/3rds of the puzzle to building a championship team.

Think of this lineup...

C-Cousins
PF-Thompson
SF-Casspi
SG-Evans
PG-Beno

That's a 35 win team next year, and a playoff team the year after!!!

With Landry, Cisco, Greene and Dalembert off the bench. Or whoever starts wherever, this team is a lot better than it was two years ago.

Awesome, couldn't have worked out better given where the lottery balls fell. I think it's much like last year where we got the same guy we would and should have taken if we were at #2. I don't think we would have been wrong taking Cousins if we'd ended up at our natural #3 spot, maybe even #2.

It might be a little roll of the dice, but this is the kind of roll I like. How often do you get a shot at a monster full-sized center with real talent? Pretty much never until now, if you're the Kings.

How much money do we have to spend on a free agent?

WTB a shooter! If we can give max or near max money to a FA we will be set.

Its good to be a Kings fan!! I cant wait until next season starts, the dynamic of our team has morphed from squishy and soft to gritty and tough! it's possible we might be proud owners of back 2 back ROYs by the end of next season! Please Petrie do not trade this guy!!

Big risk=Big reward......well hopefully!

No denying the talent and I think Coach W has shown that he is not hesitant to deal with players to extend their role off the court, should that be a problem.

I'm optimistic about this pick. Cousins doesn't have to be a franchise player, we have a solid guy in Dalembert so Westphal can enforce some minutes discipline, and its unusual to find a lot of talent at the C position. Put him next to JT and you have a pretty good rebounding front-line.

This is why they call him Chad Fraud. From his twitter:

chadfordinsider Great pick for Kings. For a second straight year Kings may have the Rookie of the Year.

I think most of the capspace that the Kings have should be saved for resigning a few players that are already here. Let this team mature for a couple years and at the right moment acquire that 3rd piece to go with Evans/Cousins.

The basketball gods are definitely on our side again this year.

We dropped to 4th last yr and got the best player.

We dropped to 5th this yr and I feel we got the best player (size/talent/skills wise) again.
