Kings Draft A 'Jimmer' Of Hope?
With the 2011 NBA draft in the books, did the Sacramento Kings pick to fill their needs for a better team or pick to fill Power Balance Pavillion? Not that the two have to be mutually exclusive. Trading down to the tenth pick to reacquire John Salmons and draft Jimmer Fredette may at first seem like robbing Peter to pay Paul, but looking at the end result one may conclude the Kings management isn't done dealing. Kings fans can only hope. While this trade gives the Kings more room to play in the free agency market, can they find a player that will both impact and complement the young, inexperienced talent Sacramento puts on the hardwood? In the short-term, Jimmermania may secure more season ticket holders and fill some seats, but the ultimate elixir for low attendance is a winner.
