Kings Secure Sole Possession of 3rd Spot

I don't want to start a new thread on this but thinking out loud...
As a Kings fan who would you pick if it was a choice between Turner or Wall - which means we luck out and get #1 pick?
For me, it would be a very difficult choice but I tilt slightly towards Wall - very slightly. PG's with his high level of skill, lightening speed, are very hard to come by in any draft. Reminds me of Russell Westbrook but better - and that's scary! Turner as a 2 guard swingman is more dime a dozen traditionally, but he could turn out to be very special, maybe superstar special - thus hard to decide.
Taking it further, suppose Kings get #2 pick - is it automatic you select whoever is sitting there between clearly recognized two top college basketball players from 2009-10?
For me, it's a no brainer as I'd gladly grab whoever is left between Wall and Turner. Yes, I know we need front court help but these two are so special it would be foolish to go with lesser talent just for proverbial need. Look how Memphis got burned thinking that way in last years draft.
If Kings pick #3 and both Wall and Turner are gone - who do you select between Favors and Cousins?
I like Favors slightly over Cousins, but neither one by all that much over other options - Johnson, Whiteside, Aldrich, etc. Man I hope (pray!) we get no worse than #2 pick. #3 I can live with. #4 and I know it's just sorta ok. #5 and it's hello Wesley Johnson - maybe. #5 or worse - don't want to think about it.

Yah i know.. Remember back a couple years when we lost it? That cost of Joakim Noah!! 
Imagine a team with Evans, and Noah on it... + a top 4 pick this year... Yikes..

This is great news! We can finish no worse than 6th, which is where DX currently has us ranked (hasn't been updated in a while). I'm not banking on getting the first overall pick, I'm just excited to hear that our chances at a top 4 pick have significantly increased from a few weeks ago. A top 4 pick guarantees us Wall, Turner, Cousins or Favors

I agree with this. We do have crappy luck. Always have. The only year we lucked out and got the #1 pick nobody even had a clue who deserved the #1 pick. I think we were mulling over Pervis Ellison, Stacy King, Danny Ferry, and a bunch of other losers. Of course, we settled on Pervis and the rest is history.
Petrie would have taken Tyreke at #2. The only player that was above him on the board was Blake.

That's not going to happen.
Kings improved 8 games, Warriors went down 3 games I think. Reke is locked for ROY.
Base my assumption on the BOX SCORE:
Portland didn't want to win and Warriors did, their starters 40+ min each except one. Portland have two starters, played pretty well, played 26 min total. I'm not sure why ROY wasn't in, was he hurt?
Anyhow I'm glad the Warriors got what they wanted. Good for them. Hope the enjoyment of that win last a long long long time.
See you on draft day.

I heard Grant and Mike talking about it and it sounded like his meniscus also slipped out of place? That's the worry of him trying to play on it, is it could pop out again. Umm with no meniscus supporting the leg it's bon on bone. My dad just had a knee replacement, because his mensicus was worn away.
I'm not saying Roy would need a knee replacement, because his problem can be fixed effectively with a little operation and rest. My point is that it is EXTREMELY painful when you are bone on bone, and playing basketball on that isn't really an option.

Wuster hereby volunteers to represent the Kings for no charge. Moreover, I guarantee a top 3 pick thereby eclipsing what C-Webb was able to bring back last year.
I think that has to do with the disintigration of their organizations. They are not acting cohesively. Curry went off, and of course why not, when your coach is Don Nelson. Washington has similar lack of leadership and direction. No one is really at the helm of those two clubs. The players just said, "**** it, I'm going to go off here." And I say... Yes you are!
I am so thankful GS and Washington didn't get the memo. You can have ROY Curry.....I'd much rather have the higher draft pick and I'm sure Reke feels the same way...at least I hope he does
