The NBA draft has been a veritable crapshoot for the Sacramento Kings over the last 10 years, with an emphasis on crap. Drafting players like Jimmer Fredette and Thomas Robinson over guys like Kawhi Leonard, Klay Thompson and Damian Lillard have really hurt this franchise over the long term.
Willie Cauley-Stein is hoping to change that. The first draft pick of GM Vlade Divac's front office career, Cauley-Stein hasn't yet achieved the same recognition as some of his fellow rookies from this year's excellent class, but that's not an indictment of his play.
