I am pretty sure we are going to have Wesley Johnson. I think this is fine. We need a shooter, and a big man with Spencer and Nocioni have failed to do, witch is a whole other story. After looking at this kid, he can shoot, rebound and, get ready.... DUNK!!! He is not afraid to throw it down unlike are other big guys. Look at the glass half full...

I like Johnson, but I'd hardly call him a big man. He's a 6'7" SF thats very athletic and is a very good outside shooter. I think he'll be a terrific basketball player. But we need another SF like we need a hole in the head. He could probably play some SG, but he needs to improve his ballhandling to play that position.

I certainly don't think its a slam dunk that we take Johnson. The Kings need interior help. Particularly at the defensive end. And there are several players that would help in that area and none are named Johnson.

I agree, we dont need Johnson even as fine of a player as he'll probably become...so far the prognosticators seem to have the Wolves taking Johnson and Cousins falling to us...should be interesting, I think the best description of Cousin's upside is: A bigger Al Jefferson who plays center. And his downside being Derrick Coleman and Eddy Curry.
 
No offense, but you could have put this in the thread called "Kings get #5 pick". C'mon people, lets put this all in the same thread. Mods, can you put this all together.

To be honest, she did not need to jump down dude's throat. We are not in a position where we can just alienate new members or fans that are now starting to come out of the woodwork. She should apologize, being a senior member and all.

Not trying to fan the flames, I just think we need to welcome all new members instead of making them feel like dung.
 
Anyway I've been thinking June 24th is a long ways a way, a lot of time for speculating about players, and for organizations to argue themselves into players they had not planned to pick originally. Crazy things happen in drafts and there is going to be a lot of fluctuation of draft stock between now and draft night. If the draft were tonight I would say Cousins and Favors would not be available at 5 but I'm not so certain with more than a month to go.

I'm starting to warm up to Johnson myself. Yeah we could trade a SF to make room for him if we draft him. Even if no one slips I'd love to see Johnson, Aminu or Aldrich in a Kings uni next year.

^^^^This. The "I'm holier than though because I have 4800 posts" is completely unecessary. How the hell is he supposed to know you're a women. Get over yourself.
 
Then there's me who keeps trying to wreck everything by getting the thread back on track...

OK I like Johnson but he seems a little weak, and for some reason he reminds me of Kerry Kittles. That's some shooting he has though, and his combination of athleticism and long arms will fit into a running offense.
 
Johnson, yeh he might be good.

I prefer the Kings to draft the BPA as long as he is 7 feet tall(OK at least 6' 10") with at least a 7' 4" wing span, blocks lots of shots, gets 9+ rebounds and can bang in the paint:)

If he has a post game and can hit 70% of his free throws thats all the better.

Later bro:)

Well you're not hard to please are you? :p

No one get's that with the 5th pick or later anymore unless you're the Lakers, but even then their guy is going to be injury prone.

I'm not so sure that was what she was originally trying to insinuate even though it came out to sound that way, That just doesn't seem like her. Yes, back to the topic at hand...

I personally believe we'll be okay in this draft even at 5th. I think someone is going to jump out at us during the workouts. Yes, I BELIEVE!!!

To be honest, he didn't need to come back with this statement either

Yeah, I might want to trade him also, but if we keep him thats great also. Haha, I think I am ahead of myself, we havent even drafted him!

Yeah but you got mad at him for no big deal, he didn't know you weren't a guy. He's a new poster. After someone like disses him for being a new poster, of course he's going to be offended. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, I'm just saying...

If its ok with you, can we just drop it? Thanks.
