The Drive Guys with Kevin "Whitey" Gleason and Allen Stiles.

Mike Wagaman of NBC Sports Bay Area joined the show and spoke on why he believes the city of Sacramento should be in the lead for an expansion team in MLB and why he thinks the Kings could use not only a point guard but also a wing.

The TWolves are in need of some movement in their line up and the President has said as much, do the Kings have anything Minnesota could want or need? Listen to the guys discuss the assets of the Kings.

Allen begins the show on a slow foot with some "Allenisms" and the other fellas need answers... Also, Whitey and Allen recap the win by the Thunder in game two.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Drive Guys | Hour 1 | 05.14.26
Q: What percentage of draft picks become stars for their original teams?
Abbott explains the figure is 6%, indicating only a small portion of top picks end up as franchise stars on the team that drafted them, with higher chances for top pick success but a steep drop-off thereafter.
The Drive Guys | Hour 3 | 05.14.26
Q: Could Acuff's defense limit be mitigated by team context, and how does that affect draft strategy?
The panel agrees that if Acuff's offense translates well, defensive gaps could be offset by scheme, coaching, and surrounding defenders; team fit is crucial.
The Drive Guys | Hour 3 | 05.14.26
Q: What makes Kingston Fleming and the other point guards appealing or concerning for teams?
Tyler highlights Fleming's disruptive defense and playmaking potential, while acknowledging size and measurables as factors; the group overall is seen as a close tier with different strengths.
The Drive Guys | Hour 3 | 05.14.26
Q: How likely is it that Darius Acuff ends up with the Kings at seven?
Tyler suggests a very real possibility, with Acuff seemingly high on Sacramento's radar and various boards placing him in top spots, though consensus varies by evaluator.
The Drive Guys | Hour 1 | 05.13.26
Q: What is the presenters' stance on trading up for Acuff at seven?
They exhibit mixed views, with some suggesting it could be worth it if Acuff is truly a franchise piece, while others push back citing Keegan Murray's value and the risk of giving up too much value for a potentially uncertain fit.
