The kings should draft Tiago Splitter

6"11
he is the brazilian dalembert
He's good. I also like current Brazilian players Nene (Nuggets) and Anderson Vajeo (Cavs). I haven't seen a Brazilian player in Basketball or Soccer that was a slug or underachiever. It's in their heritage to bring energy and hustle to their games, some of the best Soccer players in the world are Brazilian (Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, etc). Thiago, a small Brazilian playmaker for my favorite soccer team the Chicago Fire is a bundle of energy and creativity.
I know we are taking about Basketball here, but I like the 2 current Brazilian NBA players a lot and Thiago looks like he will do the same as these guys in the NBA when he gets drafted. I'm also all for a athletic/active PF/C or more natural PF than a sluggish/unathletic Center, even if we get someone 6'10" - 7' PF instead of a 7'+ Center who is slow.
