The Kings got this pick from the Trailblazers in the Sergio Rodriguez trade. The 22-year old Brockman is a pure power forward at 6′7″, 255 pounds. Brockman played in 131 games in four seasons at Washington and he averaged 13.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. The Kings needed some toughness and Brockman can bring it.
The Sacramento Kings selected 21-year old forward Omri Casspi with the 23rd pick of the NBA Draft last night. Casspi played in 89 games in 4 years in the Israeli League and he averaged 10.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. Casspi looks like he will be a project and the Kings don’t have time to wait for a player like him to develop.
The Kings have selected 19-year old Tyreke Evans in the first round of the NBA Draft. Evans is 6′6″, 220 pounds but he’s still a growing man. He will likely play both shooting guard and small forward for the Kings. He only stayed 1 season at Memphis State and he played in 37 games (35 starts) and he averaged 17.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.1 steals per game. Evans is a outstanding athlete who could develop into a star just like Derrick Rose from Memphis did last season when he was Rookie of the Year. This was a good pick for the rebuilding Kings as Evans has potential star power.
The Kings went with name recognition here as Ewing was not much of a player in college. He does have a lot of experience and he is used to coming off of the bench so he might be able to give the Kings some quality minutes off the bench. He is 6′8″, 240 pounds but he’s not really a banger under the boards. Ewing played in 127 games (26 starts) in his career at Georgetown and Indiana and he averaged 4.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. Don’t expect much out of him.
The Kings wanted a point guard capable of backing up Beno Udrih this season and Singletary could be that guy. Singletary is a little on the small side at 6′0″, 185 pounds but he’s a mature player at 22 years old. Singletary played in 123 games (all starts) at Virginia and he averaged 16.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game. Look for him to be a solid backup as a rookie and maybe more down the road.
