I'm not an enormous NBA fan but I follow it to the point where I can probably have a decent conversation about it. That having been said, I can't remember the last time I watched a Kings game or even remember them being on TNT or ESPN. I suppose if you are ever an NBA prospect and on a witness protection program, the Kings are a great option as no one is likely to find you.

Sacramento drafted Davion Mitchell who (if he stays uninjured) will be a top-notch pro. A real star.

That might motivate ESPN and TNT to show them now and then.

If you live in the Nashville area and have the right cable/satellite/streaming, you can see SAC on the tube every once in a while playing Memphis.

In my opinion Damian has good physical skills, but not so good basketball intelligence. However, I wish him the best, as he seems like a good person.

However, my favorite center in recent years is Festus. He played with such energy and enthusiasm. He seemed to be highly intelligent and well grounded. It is a shame that he had such severe knee problems that hurt his pro career. As I remember, when he came to Vandy Festus was pre-med. He later changed his major to concentrate on basketball. I wonder if he has any regrets.
