I've seen a report which had the Kings possibly getting MPJ. The rationale is that they like Bagley but really see Harry Giles (5 star blue chip prospect who never played for Duke and has ACL tears in both knees) as an impact player or star. They like Bamba as a replacement for WCS who they're not so high on anymore. They feel like they're solidified in the back-court (I personally think they should take Doncic and think he meshes really well with Fox). They want MPJ because of his potential to be a go to scorer.
This Memphis rumor looks less like a smokescreen if the Kings rumor is true. My main concern with MPJ is what if he's not a "go to scorer" at the NBA level (his lack of ball handling is a deterrent but he can improve that)? What else can he do to compensate for that (off-ball shooting? Rebounding? Defense?). These are things that concern me if I'm picking that high on top of the medicals.
