Utah Jazz vs Sacramento Kings Overtone: 2011 NBA Draft
Klay Thompson’s 60 point game this week was a reminder of how well the Warriors have drafted over the years to get their team to where it is now. Sometimes, good fortune is the result of another’s misfortunes or mistakes. That was the case in the 2011 draft. The moves of both the Milwaukee Bucks and the Sacramento Kings on that night changed the superstar landscape of the NBA. In an article this week by Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski we were reminded that the Milwaukee Bucks were considering drafting Klay Thompson at the 10 spot but eventually traded the pick to the Kings so that they could draft Jimmer Fredette.
