The draft has officially entered the crazy stage, when rumors flip by the minute and all the conventional wisdom we've built up over the past two months is gone.
Let's start debunking the things we thought we knew:
What's sparked all this backtracking? Well, Chad Ford's latest mock draft has the Kings selecting Florida State power forward Alexander Johnson, and DraftExpress has Sacramento taking Kentucky point guard Rajon Rondo.Johnson wouldn't be surprising solely because he's a product of the same trainer (David Thorpe) as Kevin Martin. And Rondo is a reverse Bibby – very good on defense, could work on his shooting. We know how hard the Maloofs have stressed defense, and we know that Sergio Rodriguez isn't the best defender in the world.
It appears our beloved Saer Sene (who destroyed Sergio in the SR Poll) is getting too much buzz, and will likely be taken by Utah at #14 or by the Suns, who are expected to move up into the mid-teens.
But expect the conventional wisdom on who the Kings will be selecting to change at least 100 more times between now and Wednesday evening.
