exactly my thoughts on him. I was watching the draft not expecting to get him even though I thought he would be the best pick for us, and then its pick #22, Im about to jump for joy that he fell that far, and then they picked ????? and I was like come on Francisco Garcia and I hear Stern say with the 23 pick in the draft the Kings select Fran....and thats when I jumped for joy. Then to top it off the ESPN people were saying what a great pick we made. ESPN never gives us any love (at least what Ive heard).

Another Cards fan here, and now a Kings fan. Cisco is wonderful basketball player, but maybe his biggest assets are his intangibles and his moxy.
As was stated above, he always has a smile on his face, and he is a team-first kind of player. He understands that it is all about the team. He will also be a great teammate. Its important for him to get along with his teammates, and with that infectious smile, that will not be a problem for him.
He is also not afraid to take the big shot. He hit many big shots for us in his three years as a Cardinal. And he is as tough a competitor as they come. He will do and work at whatever he needs to to continue to get better.
It was nothing for him and teammate Taquan Dean to be found in the gym at the wee hours of the morning working on their shooting. More than once they slept in the gym to save the trip back the next morning.
I'm sure the Kings fans will come to love Cisco the way Louisville fans have.
You got a good one in Francisco Garcia. Congrats.

As of right now, Rick's only two options at OG are Martin and Garcia. If one or the other of those guys doesn't get minutesd it will either be because a)the other guy beat him out fair and square, or b) Geoff went out and brought in another OG. As of right now SOME young player is getting the minutes there.
"Hey, Card fan. What are his defensive strengths and weaknesses?"
As far as defense, he moves very well. He floats with the ball and can steal and jab the ball away. He is also a great shot blocker. He plays just about every part of the game with pure heart. He has added about ten pounds since the Final Four, but as I saw earlier, plans on adding fifteen to twenty more by the start of the season. I would compare him to Tayshaun Prince now, but if he adds the weight and gets the right coaching he will be Dwayne Wade. It is early to say that since he hasn't played a pro game yet, but like OC said, I knew when I first saw him play he had "it"!
