Welp. This is how it all ends, my friends. From Sam Amick at SI.com, who has the Sacramento Kings picking up Bradley Beal at No. 5 in his latest 2012 NBA Mock Draft, but begins with this note:

Sam goes on to note that drafting Beal, if he's available, would likely force Geoff Petrie to shuffle the backcourt, possibly trading Tyreke Evans or Marcus Thornton. Beal is a true blue two-guard, just like Thornton; there's some flexibility in where to play Evans, though it appears he'll most likely be most effective long-term as a two. Obviously, you can't have three of your top five players (with DeMarcus Cousins and Isaiah Thomas) playing the same position for too long. It wouldn't be time for a panic trade, but eventually you'd have to do something.

Zeller would seem like an immediate third or fourth big man, especially if the Kings are as serious about keeping Jason Thompson as everyone believes they are. (I'm not terribly convinced; I think they were much more serious about Thornton than they are about Thompson, but that's just the sense I get.) Zeller's short-term impact, with is supposed to be his strength as a prospect due to his age and comfort, wholly depends on whether JT is retained and how Chuck Hayes bounces back. Again as always: a strong small forward would have an immediate opportunity. A big man or guard has a bigger challenge to get on the court early. Keep that in mind when you hear the "readiness" argument.
