one of the journalists covering the workout said he skipped on it. No reason was given to the press.

Aldrich is still a better prospect than Monroe to me, especially for what we need.

Monroe has decent low post skills, but I wouldn't call it that much of a strength for him. Hawes is much more skilled in the post than he is and I don't see Monroe being much bigger, longer, or athletic than Hawes. Even if he was more assertive in the post, I don't think he's ever going to be a go-to scorer. If he's going to be a crap defender, a decent rebounder at best, and a so-so scorer, then how the hell is he even a better fit than someone like Aldrich? Hell, I'd easily take Ed Davis over him. Plus, we don't really play a system that's going to take full advantage of his passing ability, which his best attribute. Monroe would be a dumb pick, and I hope this is just hype resulting from him being the only top pick we've really worked out so far.
I'm sick of this Monroe talk. If we pass on Johnson to take Monroe, then I'm going to be hella pissed. So pissed that I'm going to keep saying hella just to make other people hella pissed too.

After watching all of the workout videos, I really liked what Aldrich had to say.
I thought it was a little funny, and maybe a little bit bad, that when asked how to describe his game, Whiteside sad "I think im really long .. and athletic .. I can block shots, and yea, long" .. something to that effect. I get the feeling he's a guy that would never make in this league if he wasnt so damn athletic. Outside of being a great athlete .. he doesnt bring a whole lot. I'd be pretty pissed with him at 5, but I dont see anyway we go with him at that spot anyways. He needs some skill, and Im beggining to think he doesnt have any.
Still not a big fan of Monroe. I like Udoh, Aldrich, and Johnson for that five pick at the moment, assuming Cousins is gone.

Considering how up and down Jordan has been, I have no idea if you mean this as an insult or complement to Whiteside.

I'm glad Favors and Cousins decided to show. I like that it means even they think there's a chance one of them will end up on the Kings.

Even in the extremely unlikely event that Favors dropped to the Kings, I'm sure he'd love to play here. He'd have zero competition on this team.

the likes that he is talented but due to him being raw drops a couple of spots down and possibly all the way to the second round?
i doubt he goes that far..
i watched the video is it me or does aldrich have a horrible (almost hawes like in form) jumpshot.... and he's like robotic in his movement.
im liking that we are focusing on working out bigs though
I doubt very seriously that you will ever see Cousins shoot a three. All his threes are going to be +1's.

Why are we talking about Cousins shooting threes???? Spencer shoots enough threes himself for the whole team combined!!!!!

Only 3 I hope to see him shoot (if we land him) is in one of his many All Star game appearances a-la Shaq.
Seconded!
