With the 1st Pick in the 2009 Draft, the Kings select....

I've been curious about this for a few weeks now, so I figured I would post a poll and find the answer. Everyone in Sacramento is absolutely in love with Tyreke Evans. However, Brandon Jennings is looking pretty damn good as well. And of course let's not forget Blake Griffin, and just for the hell of it, Ricky Rubio.

I've included the top 10 picks of our community draft board. Our picks are actually looking pretty solid, except for the glaring omission of Johnny Flynn in the top 10. However, these picks were made before a lot of the workouts and information gathering occurred.

Sactown Royalty's Community Draft Board '09:

1. Blake Griffin

1. Ricky Rubio

3. Brandon Jennings

4. Tyreke Evans

5. Hasheem Thabeet

6. Stephen Curry

7. Ty Lawson

8. James Harden

9. Jrue Holiday

10. Demar DeRozan

So...Let's wind back the clock and pretend we miraculously won the Draft Lottery. Knowing what you know now, who would you select as the #1 Overall choice?

Advice on Finding Cheap Tickets?

Hi all

I currently live in San Luis Obispo, which means I don't get a chance to go to many games. However, fortune has smiled upon me and I will be in the Northern California area this weekend, which means a good opportunity to see K-Mart, Tyreke, and co. agains the Warriors. However, I'm finding it hard to get cheap tickets.

I need 3 (which is really making it hard) of the cheapest tickets available. Does anyone have any advice on good places to look that I might have missed? craigslist only has listings of pairs, altho one that is $200 for 3...a little out of my price range. kings.com rapes w/ service charges. Stubhub only has $100+ tickets, same /w ticketsnow.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I am in need! Help me Kings fans!

Thanks

Craig

Why we should take Pat Calathes at #4

So I'm sitting at my desk, and I realized something kind of incredible..

1998 is the year that the Kings started their ascent towards greatness. Which two teams had the top picks that year? Oh, that's right, it was #1 Clippers and #2 Grizzlies, just like this year. Very interesting... They are projected as of right now to take a big guy and then a point guard, just like the Clips and Griz did that year (Olowokandi and Bibby). Another amazing coincidence is that there is a white point guard out of the university of Florida available and he will seem like a reach at our draft spot.

So obviously, we need to draft Calathes at #4, trade K-Mart for Amare this summer, and then in two years trade Calathes for Rubio.. (or maybe Jennings, since he was supposed to go to U of A like Bibby).

READY... GO

Is anyone rooting for the Lakers (over the Rockets)?

This is my first fanpost...sorry I haven't done it sooner, but I am lazy you all are much more Kings knowledgable than I. But anyway, on to the post...

Technically, it'd be better for us if the Lakers won this series, as we'd have a higher draft pick with the Rockets pick this year. However, my utter hatred for all things Lakers leads me to root fanatically for Ron and the Rockets. I even donned my #93 Sacramento jersey today in support. Just curious if anyone can shake their Laker hatred to root for a higher draft pick..

On a side note.. Has anyone ever played w/ the Lakers in a video game. I've been playing NBA Lives and Nba 2ks for a long time, and I have never once played with Kobe or the Lakers. NEVER!
