Alright, that last swing through the snake was really nasty, eliminating almost every single player I had targeted for this pick. And so onto Plan J:
SG Cuttino Mobley
'04-05 43gms 38.7min
17.8pts (.440 .424 .831) 3.9reb 3.4ast 1.2stl 0.5blk 2.1TO
Who better to fit in with my rough and rugged crew than the Man in Pink? Eh...anyway, probably the most prolific player still on the board, and I felt like I should get one more major offensive weapon before settling into tryign to build a workable team. Cat quick, deadly 3pt shooter, liked the big shot, could play a little point, and surprisingly even a little smallball SF with a surprising little postgame. Was even known as a Kobe stopper once and could play defense when he wanted to (which depended on moon cycles). Also an expert at making sure he got up his requisite number of shots each game. Was here for about 2/3 of one season, so falls into the same category of guys as the Landry pick or the Salmons pick, but his stats here were pretty consistent with his season and career stats as a whole, so wasn't a fluke. In any case, best weapon still on the board, and somebody for the bangers up front to give a wedgie to (which sadly Cat would probably enjoy).

Phew, I had no intention of drafting him. There is still Slab to go. Don't do it to me Slab!

Took me a while to see who this player was that you were so sure I was going to draft, but now I think I have it.
SLAB
Hall of Famer
Well, I wanted to choose a couple of different players, but I decided to go with the nicer numbers (And lousy defense)
The Wizard, Walt Williams. Season, 94/95
77 games, 35.6mpg, 16.4ppg (.446 .348 .731), 4.5rpg, 4.1apg, 1.6spg, .82bpg
As I said, I wanted to choose a different couple of players, but with the talent pool deteriorating as fast as it is, I don't think there are many more chances to pick up a guy who goes 16/4/4. I now have a group of players that are pretty effective at putting numbers up on the board. Now I just have to glue them together with the right role players.
The talent pool is almost empty...Let's see where it goes!

Just incase anyone got the notion that my team might be soft, or that there might not be enough grit, I'm gonna take a man who can be mistaken for neither.
Michael Smith
The guy was mean, strong, and could really rebound and defend. Had a very strong body. He'll be my grit in the starting line-up. Every team needs a mean guy. We just got ours.
I'll take 96/97 Smith. He put u:
81 gms / 31mpg / 6.6ppg (.53 .49) / 9.5rpg (6.3 dr 3.2 or) / 2.4apg / 1.0spg / 0.7bpg / 1.6TO
I don't need him to score in my line-up, just need him to get garbage points. And he'll do that job nicely while rebounding and playing good defense.

I like your team so far Dime. Solid.
Thank you. I like it too, but then again, I would.
Omri Casspi
1st half of the 2009-2010 Season
I can do that, right?
All right, so Omri hit a little bit of a wall during the end of the season, but he was still a solid scorer, and had 4 double-doubles this year. Enough scoring, decent rebounding, and just enough reckless abandon to work within the flow of my team.

Hmmm... draft talent pool has taken quite a downturn... but there are still a few diamonds in the rough. I hope.. pick upcoming.

For my 4th selection, I decided to draft based on potential rather than actual stats...
Gerald Wallace (2002 - 2003)
The stats weren't impressive blatantly due to the system and team he was on. As a starter, the stats became what they are today. He will fit perfect in this system. He will be my starting SF.

Solid pick. Good backup. Was on my draftboard but wouldn't have been able to pick him for another couple rounds.
Bricklayer
Don't Make Me Use The Bat
Yes, I was looking at Oldham too as a shotblocking backup, but I am afraid that I can only allow you to take him if you post a link to his hilarious website (he is apparently Director of Basketball Operations for Dubai or something and touts himself as former NBA superstar Jawann Oldam.
)

Coach: Garry St. Jean
Not a great coach, but took us to the playoffs, which is more than you can say about the vast majority of our coaches and probably is the last decent one around.

Seven footer, proved that he can block shots and grab rebounds at a very good rate in limited playing time, so I'll pretend that he would be a double-double guy given starter minutes
You can easily see why he was the best frontcourt partner avaiable for Tisdale.

For my 5th pick, I select one of the great fan favorites in Sac-era history as well as a great great character guy...
Jon Barry (99-00)
8 ppg, 46 % shooting, 92 FT%, 42% from 3's. 3 rpg and 2 apg. Great shooter and chemistry guy. Will fit in well with a pick and roll offense and the Adelman system.
He is also the leader of my BENCH MOB:

My next pick will be paired in the backcourt with J-Will, as he has played the position quite regularly this past year. He's done a pretty good job of it, too.
Donte Greene

I need a PG. I'm surprised he's still on the board. I'm taking Larry Drew!
Larry Drew
His best season as a King came in 1982-83, when he put up:
75 gp / 35.9 mpg / 20 ppg (.49 .13 .82) / 8.1 apg / 2.8 rpg / 1.7 spg / 3.6 TO
20/8/3/1.5 - I'll take that this late on.

I believe only his 1985-86 season is eligible - this is specifically a Sacramento Kings draft, not a Kansas City Kings or Cincinnati/Rochester Royals draft.
Otherwise, I'll be taking Oscar Robertson with my next pick.

Darn you, I've been found out! Was worth the risk, thought I might get away with it!
Regardless, I'll take him. I need a PG and he still had a very solid season in 85/86. He put up 12 ppg / 4.5 apg / 1.7 rpg / 0.9 spg. This all coming off the bench in the majority of games whilst playing just 26 minutes per. As a starter those numbers will increase.

With my pick, the most tragic instance in Sacramento-era history.
Ricky Berry.
88/89: 64 games, 11ppg (.450, .789, .406), 3.1rpg, 1.3apg,
Sad, tragic story here...Don't know if I'll do a writeup because it almost seems disrespectful.
Team SF strikes again.
You do realize you are Geoff's idol don't you? You should autograph something for him.

Alright, I am going to invoke oldness on this one to get myself some extra defense:
F Terry Tyler
('85-86) 71gms 23.3min
9.5pts (.455 .000 .750) 4.4reb 1.3ast 0.9stl 1.5blk 1.3TO
A defensive minded dirtywork roleplayer who in his youth had once averaged 2.7blks (as a SF!), he wasn't quite as spry by the time he hit Sacto, but he was still one of the league's best leapers. In fact while researching this pick I discovered something that I had either long forgot, or maybe never even knew: Gerald Wallace was not the first King's SF to represent Sacramento at the All Star Dunk Contest. Terry Tyler, in the Kings' inaugural season in Sacto (the one I am selecting here) was one of eight guys selected to take part, including future King/tiny leprechaun Spud Webb(see pic above). Terry finished dead last. But that was appropriate -- could really jump, but his game was meat and potatoes, defend and do the little things, not show off.
Could play both F spots, and gives me a third decent shotblocking presence as well as a mobile option at PF to matchup with more perimeter oriented guys.
P.S. As you can tell from the photo, he was a real looker too, and should help me secure votes from the ladies.
