Sacramento Kings

Draft Picks: Georgios Papagiannis No. 13, Skal Labissiere No. 28, Isaiah Cousins No. 59

“Lord Give Me Strength”.

The words of Boogie Cousins rang throughout the world on draft night as he once again put in question the direction of the Sacramento Kings franchise.

Papagiannis might come in and blow everyone away. He appears to have great size and scoring ability, but the fact that the Kings traded away Marquese Chriss after selecting him and then later grabbing raw, still devloping Skal Labissiere who fell on draft night, put in question exactly what is the Kings plan.

Now with Cousins, last year’s first-round pick Willie Cauley-Stein, Papagiannis and Labissiere, they seem to have a crowded frontcourt with still way too many backcourt questions.

DeMarcus Cousins’ actions are surely a sign of things to come with this team that is still and will remain in complete turmoil. Stay strong Boogie.

Grade: F
