nice work...i like how you slotted a few of the young players with "potential" to be workout warriors and move up like Holiday and Henderson

and if Stephen Curry slides to my 76ers at 17 ill be one happy cat...

Move Daye and Thornton UP. Mills goes down. You have the Jazz and Mavs flip-flopped. I think Holiday goes higher.

...Curry for the Kings? Why? He hasn't even worked out with the team yet, and Petrie never picks players that don't work out with the team (at least lately). No no, if Rubio isn't available at 4 or via trade, then the Kings will pick one of Evans/Holiday/Jennings/Flynn

Pretty much.

Well, I will be ok with Curry...

After throwing my tv down the stairs, punch a hole in my door and cursing at Petrie non stop.

MN would be quite, QUITE happy with this draft of Thabeet, Maynor, and Daye. I think Daye has probably gone up a few spots though. I don't see Casspi who I think will be a late first rounder and won't be much of a contract concern with the rookie slotting.

Thabeet doesn't get past Kings @ 4 if available.

If he's gone they go best PG (winner of Friday's workout)

Just have a video recording so you can post it on RGM.

I don't think Thabeet goes to the Kings unless they have a pre-arranged deal with Memphis to get Rubio...Thabeet's pretty much the antithesis of a Petrie draft pick. I really do think Curry's going to be their pick (he could be a Bibby type player), but Holiday or Evans could also be possibilities.

We haven't even worked out Curry yet...why do you think he is going to be the Kings pick?

Curry wouldn't surprise me in the least. He SCREAMS Petrie pick. lol

Unless I'm completely off they didn't bring Steph in to work out at all. Petrie likes to at least have the guys he'll take in for one workout, if not more.

If Rubio is gone and Thabeet is on the board he's the pick. You can get a defensive once in a decade player in Thabeet and then draft a PG (Patty Mills, Collison, Calathes) at 23 (or whatever that pick is)

1. Clippers - Blake Griffin, Oklahoma
2. Grizzlies - Ricky Rubio, Spain
3. Thunder - James Harden, Arizona State
4. Kings - Stephen Curry, Davidson - I think they go Holiday, Evans, Jennings before Curry, if they go guard. If Thabeet is there they'll take him.
5. Wizards - Jordan Hill, Arizona Think they go best guard available including Holiday, Flynn, Jennings, etc. I like the Hill fit more, but there's rumblings about them going guard.
6. Wolves - Hasheem Thabeet, UConn If he's there you're right. If not Evans
7. Warriors - Brandon Jennings, Italy Really like this pick
8. Knicks - Tyreke Evans, Memphis
9. Raptors - Demar DeRozan, USC
10. Bucks - Jrue Holiday, UCLA
11. Nets - Earl Clark, Louisville
12. Bobcats - Gerald Henderson, Duke
13. Pacers - DeJuan Blair, Pitt
14. Suns - Jonny Flynn, Syracuse Don't think Flynn falls past the Pacers @ 13, probably not past the Bucks at 10
15. Pistons - BJ Mullens, Ohio State
16. Bulls - James Johnson, Wake Forest
17. Sixers - Ty Lawson, UNC
18. Wolves - Eric Maynor, VCU
19. Hawks - Jeff Teague, Wake Forest
20. Mavericks - Terrence Williams, Louisville
21. Hornets - Chase Budinger, Arizona
22. Jazz - Darren Collison, UCLA Jazz go BPA, in this case probably Daye or Tyler *shivers*
23. Kings - Patrick Mills, St. Mary's
24. Trailblazers - Gani Lawal, Georgia Tech
25. Thunder - Rodrigue Beaubois, FranceSwap with Memphis
26. Bulls - Tyler Hansbrough, UNC
27. Grizzlies - Wayne Ellington, UNCSwap with Thunder

I believe he scheduled to work out on the 21st, if I'm not mistaken and/or the plans haven't changed.

RIPskaterdude · Post #35 » by **RIPskaterdude** » Mon Jun 15, 2009 9:19 pm

^^ I don't see anywhere that says Curry is scheduled to work out with the Kings.

"June 21

Toney Douglas will be a part of a group workout"

That's all I see so far...other than a group workout in NJ that the Kings will be attending.

Villanova1L · Post #36 » by **Villanova1L** » Mon Jun 15, 2009 11:10 pm

After checking I'm not sure Thabeet worked out either though.

From what I understand they want a PG or a defensive center. To me Thabeet makes more sense than Curry/Holiday/Evans, etc. based on availability of a PG later in the draft.

I'm about 99.9% sure that if Thabeet lasts to #4, he'll still be available at #5.

RIPskaterdude · Post #38 » by **RIPskaterdude** » Mon Jun 15, 2009 11:35 pm

Neither Thabeet or Curry has worked out with the Kings yet...I think if they are going with a big man, they will pick one at #23 or #31. They are definately going guard with the 4th pick.
