MVN NBA Outsider Mock Draft: Fourth Pick

The Outsider crew at MVN always puts together well thought out pieces on what's going on in the NBA and how things are shaping up for the future of the NBA. Well, with the NBA Draft just 16 days away, they're putting together their Mock Draft by calling upon bloggers from all over the country to decide the most logical/likely pick. This Mock Draft is being unveiled over the next week and can be followed by refreshing this page. Well, they called upon me to advise on the picks of the Sacramento Kings (picks 4 and 23) and try to come up with the most logical/likely choice. The fourth pick article by me has been posted. The rules were to come up with who will be the likely choice based on who is off the board. Here are the picks so far:1. Los Angeles Clippers -- Blake Griffin by Steve Perrin from Clip's Nation2. Memphis Grizzlies -- Ricky Rubio by Chip Crain from 3 Shades of Blue3. Oklahoma City Thunder -- Jordan Hill by Bill Ingram of Hoops WorldAnd here is a snippet from my piece on who the Kings should take with the fourth pick:With Ricky Rubio off the board and Hasheem Thabeet still on the board, the Sacramento Kings now have a puzzling situation in front of them. Do they take the perceived best player on the board with an absolute monster of a man who blocks shots and clears the glass? Or do they tell themselves that Jason Thompson and Spencer Hawes are the big men of the future for this franchise and address their glaring and debilitating hole at the point guard position? Do they believe in Donte Greene and Francisco Garcia on the wings to play alongside Kevin Martin? Hell, do they believe that Kevin Martin is ACTUALLY their franchise-building guy? Well, let's assume that they believe in Kevin Martin, Donte Greene and Francisco Garcia. They have multiple years and roughly $60 million+ locked up in those guys and still have Andres Nocioni for the next three years as well. This isn't a team that can currently afford to add a bevy of wing players with so much money locked in to the guys they already have. So now it comes down to grabbing the most intriguing and sought-after big man left in the draft or putting someone immediately in front of Beno Udrih who was one of, if not THE worst long-term contract signing in team history. Well, the pick can't be Hasheem Thabeet because it would endanger the growth of their big men and you can't bank on the fact that you might be able to trade him for assets or answers at point guard later on in the summer.You can read the rest of the article and who the actual selection is here.
