The Sacramento Kings have selected Hercules from Mount Olympus with the No. 8 pick in the SB Nation Disney Draft.
The Kings were rumored to be interested in King Triton, but the team decided that he probably wouldn’t be a good fit for the team because the bottom half of his body is a fish. According to a source familiar with the team’s thinking, they felt vindicated when Triton went undrafted.
The Kings also had interest in taking Fa Mulan from China because of her leadership skills, but they decided that they couldn’t pass up on Hercules’ God-like athleticism and durability, the latter of which is significant for this year’s roster.
