Billy King on the Draft: "I leave the Draft to scouts to manage"

In talking with The Devils Den, Scout.com's Duke blog, Billy King says he trusts his scouts, many of whom been with him since Philadelphia, and lets them manage much of the draft process. His job, he says, is to acquire the picks.

"I have a very good staff and I put a lot on them. That’s something I learned in Philadelphia, you have to trust your scouts because that’s what they do. I do go out but obviously not as much as they do and I trust them because that’s what they do. As we get closer to the Draft I get more involved and focus in more but it’s really I leave the Draft to them to manage because it’s really my job is to try and acquire the picks so we can have good picks to make.
