Summary

The Sacramento Kings selected Davion Mitchell in last week's NBA Draft. Mitchell plays guard. Many Kings fans were upset the team added another guard. When you're a bad team, a non-playoff team , you need good players regardless of position. In 1985 The Kings selected Joe Kleine instead of Karl Malone, because they had a very good power forward on the team already in Otis Thorpe. How did that work out? The Kings need assets! That's why I didn't understand why they let Bogdan Bogdanovic go to the Atlanta Hawks for nothing. If Mitchell turns out to be a good players Kings fans won't give a darn what position he plays!
