Three thoughts:

1. There's no way Ben McLemore is working out for the Kings. With less than a week until the draft, the only surprise workouts happening will be happening in cases in which a player visits a team picking above his range. McLemore isn't working out for a team two spots below his range.

How would McLemore fit if the Kings kept Evans? I think you could bring McLemore off of the bench at first, and go with spots of an Evans-McLemore backcourt. You could potentially play with some smallball with Evans back at the three. I think you could figure it out at McLemore develops. Unfortunately, that puts Thornton in a trap. But again, you're trying to build a good team, not a good team for Thornton to thrive in.

Regardless, I'm not sure the fact that McLemore hasn't visited Sacramento matters too much. I mean, it matters. But it's a small matter. The front office has some experience, and knows how to watch tape and read data. If they felt he was the right pick without seeing him in person during workout season, I bet they'd feel comfortable taking him. If they like another player better, I bet they'd take the other player. At this point, with a clean slate, I'm totally comfortable with the team's decision-making capabilities.
