    Very happy Hamm is here. Now I can listen. Matt was a bit too Kings apologetic.

  • Matt’s the glue guy

    One of the best Kings podcasts for sure. Matt’s consistent energy and enthusiasm is always appreciated in a sadly disfuncional Kings reality. Regardless of whether you agree with his takes, just the fact that he does his job day after day providing strong content with passion and humor is very impressive. His voice is a vital part of the King’s community and should not be taken for granted. Rock on Matt 👍👍

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Darius Acuff Jr. vs. Kingston Flemings, a DRAFT CONVERSATION with Nick Agar-Johnson of No Ceilings
Q: Which two guards are you most intrigued by for the Kings at seven?
The two guards teased are Kingston Flemings and Darius Acuff Jr., positioned as 1A and 1B on many boards, with Flemings offering defensive versatility and Acuff providing elite offense; both could realistically be on the board at seven.
Darius Acuff Jr. vs. Kingston Flemings, a DRAFT CONVERSATION with Nick Agar-Johnson of No Ceilings
Q: Nick, what makes this draft so good beyond the top picks?
The depth at guard, with multiple near-top guard talents and a broader group that could impact teams later in the first round, makes this draft unusually rich for a team like the Kings needing a long-term point guard.
Kings search HIGH AND LOW in draft build up, is an NCAA shift forcing the NBA to adapt?
Q: How cool is that for a player like yourself who maybe took a little bit longer to develop and to get to where you are today?
The guest explains loyalty to Arkansas, the value of strong coaching, and recognizing opportunities to develop, which helped him stay committed and improve over time.
What it is like to watch the NBA DRAFT LOTTERY PROCESS, a conversation with Deuce Mason
Q: What was it like being in the lottery room and watching the process unfold?
Being in the room was intense and surreal; the security, the silence when the TV broadcast began, and the shared focus among team reps and reporters created a palpable tension. Mason described it as a rare, almost ritual experience that underscored how real and transparent the lottery process is.
Finding a point guard is paramount to the Kings' upcoming offseason according to CBS's Jake Gadon
Q: What is the Kings' biggest need this offseason?
The hosts and Gadon agree that the top need is a point guard, along with getting younger and trimming payroll to fit under the tax, while positioning around a high draft pick.
