Draft Review: Sacramento Kings

First Round
Ben McLemore, SG Kansas (7)
Once again, the Kings have a great talent from Kansas fall to them and snap him up. Thomas Robinson didn't work out, but that had more to do with a terrible culture, coaching, and situation. McLemore is a solid building block with really high upside and an unselfish nature that Sacramento needs, and if the Kings new organization can change the environment around this team, McLemore could be a star, if not he'll at worst be a Jason Richardson-type shooter/athlete.

Second Round
Ray McCallum Jr, PG Detroit (36)
I love this pick for Sacramento, Ray McCallum is pure, steady point guard who is unselfish, hard-nosed, and hard-working; exactly what the doctor ordered for Sacramento, who has a history of laziness and shot gunnery that has completely bogged down and destroyed the franchise for many of the past years.

Projected Rotation
PG: Isaiah Thomas/Ray McCallum Jr.
SG: Ben McLemore/Marcus Thornton
SF: John Salmons/???
PF: Jason Thompson/Patrick Patterson
C: DeMarcus Cousins/Chuck Hayes
