Summary

As painful as it is, on today's podcast, I go over the Kings awful draft history. It began in 1985 when the Sacramento's first ever draft resulted in Joe Kleine being selected instead of Karl Malone.

I know it's painful for Kings fans to think what might have been! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
