The #6 Pick

The Kings have the #6 pick.  It looks to me like PG Mudiay will still be there at #6, I think the Kings take him.

So far the top 6 prospects seem set in stone though the order is still up in the air; I have them going: Okafor, Towns, Russell, Porzingas, Winslow, Mudiay.  The #7-#11 prospects look to be Croatia SG Hezonja, Arizona SF Johnson, Texas C Turner, Kentucky PF's Lyles and Cauley-Stein.  (After that comes another drop)  Unless one of those guys jumps up and really starts impressing people or new faves emerge, it looks like the favorite six will be the top six chosen, in one order or another.

Could the Kings trade the pick?  Well they could use Mudiay and they're not in any hurry to win, right?  Unless they get a Jrue Holiday-style deal thrown at them, they should just go ahead and take the best available at #6.  Could be Porzingas or Winslow or Mudiay (can't imagine Towns, Okafor, Russell still being there).  I think Mudiay can play right now, they need a PG to grind in some minutes, might as well be a rookie.  Porzingas might fit with Cousins (but maybe not), Winslow would lose touches to Gay, McLemore and Stauskus (getting lost in Sacramento is no lottery pick's dream).  I think Mudiay is the best fit and I think he'll be available.
