It's shocking the difference a good coach and no more locker room cancer (Rip) can make. I still have trouble seeing us as a playoff team but I certainly won't discount it. One of the hardest things to do as a young team is build a winning culture. Just look at Sacramento, GS, and even Minnesota. All of those teams have a ton of talent, but just don't play like winners most nights. Minny might get over the hump with Love and Rubio, but who knows.

So we might be in the running for the Henson/Zeller (either) instead of Davis/Drummond. Sucks if we miss out on the top guys, but in such a deep draft, not terrible to be in the later lottery.

If we aren't top 5 I would love to see us go after Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. I love him, besides Davis he is my fav. guy in this draft. He would be the perfect replacement for Prince.

Hes on Kansas right? I saw him against Baylor, he looked good. To be honest I stopped watching when we were something like 3-20 and was very surprised to see them sitting at a not mega terrible 11-22.

I think Kidd-Gilchrist is going top 5 (and probably 5th). If we aren't picking there, I would still look at a big man (probably Sullinger more than Jones - seems soft). If not Sullinger, then Henson/Zellers seem to make the most sense. Henson is an athletic defender at the PF spot. Either Zeller adds another option in the post and both seem quick enough to guard PFs better than Monroe.
