I still remember where I was when the Kings drafted DeMarcus Cousins. I was at a work conference in San Diego and our meetings had wrapped up for the day so I headed to my room to watch the Draft. The Kings had the 5th pick, and it was looking like the Kings would be choosing between guys like Wesley Johnson, DeMarcus Cousins and Greg Monroe.
When Johnson’s name was called with the 4th pick to Minnesota, I pumped my fist in the air because I knew it meant the Kings would be taking either Cousins or Monroe, a big man of the future to pair with Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans.
