    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.

What if Darius Acuff Jr. and Kingston Fleming BOTH FALL to the Kings at pick No. 7?
Q: What makes Acuff a compelling fit for Sacramento beyond the lottery projection?
Acuff offers elite scoring and playmaking instincts with solid size for a guard, and if he can tighten his defense and consistency, he could become a high-end floor general for the rebuild.
What if Darius Acuff Jr. and Kingston Fleming BOTH FALL to the Kings at pick No. 7?
Q: If the Kings got to seven and both Acuff and Fleming are on the board, which one would you take?
I'd lean toward Acuff for the upside, but Fleming is the safer, more proven option; it's a closer call and depends on how the Kings value long-term impact versus immediate fit.
BREAKING: Sacramento Kings To Get Alex Karaban in Trade with Cleveland Cavaliers
Q: What should Kings fans know about this pick?
The pick was not very expensive, involving the 34th pick and a future second; Karaban brings size, a winning mindset, and glue-guy intangibles, but there are questions about his fit at the NBA level given size and speed.
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.
