June 28th, 2008 2008 NBA Draft Grades: Sacramento Kings


By: Dustin Chapman

Transactions

  • Selected Jason Thompson 12th overall.
  • Selected Sean Singletary 42nd overall.
  • Selected Patrick Ewing Jr. 43rd overall.

My reaction was as good as yours: “wow, Jason Thompson at 12?!” Look, Thompson may very well be a good player. If he is, we all look foolish for not realizing this. Until then, Thompson will be considered a real reach at 12.

Sacramento drafted well in the second round, though. Sean Singletary could be one of those long-term surprise picks, and Ewing Jr. has a real chance to stick around in the league with his length, athleticism, and defensive presence.

Grade: C-
