Maybe. If Fox is gone at #5 and people would prefer Tatum or Isaac to Smith then I don't see what PG is left at #10. Possibly Ntilikina but that's not a sure thing.
I think that (and going back and watching NC State games from early in the season - especially that monster Duke game) is pushing me towards DSJ at #5 if Ball, Fultz, Jackson and Fox are off the board.

I agree with you about the situation where we end up drafting a SF at five. It's highly possible that every other PG that's considered a top ten pick will be gone. To say its an epic failure if we don't get one of them, is a bit harsh. You can only draft whose left on the board. You can argue that the Kings should have traded up to get who they want, but that requires finding a trade partner that's willing. And at what price? I know it's not a flashy idea, but there are some PGs that I think can play in the NBA. Of course Jawun Evans leaps to mind first. Not a elite athlete, but has all the tools. Frank Mason was terrific all year long and was the heart and soul of that Kansas team. He belongs in the NBA. Monte Morris who just worked out for us is another highly skilled PG who never turns the ball over. He runs the pick and roll as good or better than any other PG in the draft. I may post a video of him later. I'd be shocked if all three of these guys don't end up on an NBA team at some point.
