One can make a list like this for practically every NBA team, so I'm not entirely sure what the point is.
 
Well, we technically drafted Orlando Johnson, but we traded him to Indiana for pennies. A shame too, he was 16th in my mock, we drafted him 35thish, and not surprisingly he's producing for them.
 
Most of these names have been bandied about for a long time, and I doubt you find anyone shocked by them. Especially on this fourm....

Since Vlade has been here for years, I think he knows where he is.. Well, maybe sometimes he doe-------, naw, forget it....
 
I actually really enjoy these types of lists. Shows how little scouts are able to predict sometimes.

Personally, I think we have done pretty well in 90% of drafts we participate in in the GP era. The only prospects I regret drafting were Jimmer (not a Petrie type of pick IMO), and TRob. Jimmer's draft was full of bad players at our pick spot, Kawhi Leonard was probably the right pick, and Damian Lillard stings a little.
 
some of those names elicit a solid "meh" from me, some were overlooked by not just us but pretty much the entire league and in some cases we actually drafted a better player over them. of course there are a few names that cause pain, but drafting badly has not been as big a concern as other things with the Kings.
 
Well, drafts 2011 and 2012 really sting with very good and obvious prospects(SF and front court partner for Boogie). Before that it's mostly "meh" indeed.
