The Kings pull the trigger on the first senior to go in the first round: 6-10, 250-pound Jason Thompson of Rider(s on the Storm) College.
He's a good addition to Spencer Hawes up front.
Portland went for Brandon Rush of Kansas at No. 13 but I think the Blazers are sending to Rush to the Pacers (they really want Rush) for Bayless (that's who Portland wanted but the Blazers knew Sacramento would take him at No. 12), plus veteran PG Jarrett Jack.
Makes sense . . .
