So, word is the Kings have narrowed their HC candidates to Mike Brown, Mark Jackson, and Steve Clifford.

Now, I actually like all 3 coaches. But they are bad choices for the Kings. None are franchise changers and possibly only Mark Jackson may vibe well w/ the Kings young team.
Other candidates that have been cut are Bucks assistants Darvin Ham and Charles Lee, and Celtics assistant Will Hardy. Why not take a shot on them? Younger, more innovative and in-touch coaches are what would be best with a team like the Kings. I watched some practice vids of Charles Lee and he seems like a really smart and likeable guy. I'm sure Darvin would relate extremely well to the team, since he's a former player.
These younger assistants, some ex-players, are cearly the better choices just by the evidence of the playoffs alone (Udoka, Jenkins, Willie Green, Monty, Nurse, etc, and even past examples of Kerr, Spo, etc). I highly doubt this is a Monte McNair's (Kings GM) choice. Has to be another low IQ choice of Vivek. Franchise stays cursed under incompetent ownership.
