Tonight the Sacramento Kings hosted a couple draft parties around the Sacramento region - one was at Bistro 33 in El Dorado Hills and the other was at Firestone in midtown. El Dorado Hills is quite a drive for me so I opted for the event at Firestone. The festivities started at 4, but I was a little late in arriving. By the time I got there Firestone was absolutely packed. Only season ticket holders who had RSVP'd were allowed to continue entering the restaurant.
The inside of Firestone was absolutely packed to the gills. It was really hard to get anywhere in the restaurant - Kings fans were covering just about every inch of the place. Just about all the screens at Firestone were set to cover the NBA draft. I arrived a few minutes before the first draft pick was selected by Cleveland. The Kings selected Nik Stauskas with the number 8 pick this year.
Between draft picks Scott Fresh and the dancers raffled off some pretty cool Sacramento Kings memorabilia. There were autographed photos and jerseys given out to some lucky fans in attendance.
My favorite time tonight was getting a chance to hang out with Scott, Isela, Chanel, Moira, and Charli for a bit as we waited to see which players got drafted by which team. It'll be an interesting off-season as there looks like there will be quite a it of moment in the NBA this year. We'll all just have to hang on to our hats and see!
