Now that the lottery is officially over and everyone is slotted into their draft order, the internet has been busy updating their mock drafts. The Kings are drafting 5th so let's go ahead and take a look at the various Top 5 selections out there currently. Kings selection in bold.

So as you can see, it's a bit of a crapshoot out there after the initial no-brainer selection of Anthony Davis. Barnes seems to be the name that keeps popping up the most in the Kings slot, but it all depends on what the three teams before the Kings do. The Bobcats and the Wizards especially seem to have the toughest choices to make.

As for the Kings, Sam Amick of SI probably has the most believable analysis of their situation:

Things can obviously change through the workout process, but I would not be surprised if the Kings passed on the project players or even traded the pick for a veteran.
