Kings In Review: Why Davion Mitchell was the right pick for Sacramento

Welcome to Kings In Review, where we’ll be recapping the season for every player that ended the season in Sacramento.

Most people were certain the Kings would draft a forward. However, that confusion and feeling of uncertainty evaporated almost instantly.
