The NBA draft was held last night. Kings season ticket holders had the chance to celebrate with a draft party at the Mix in downtown. Firestone Public House (just next door) also had their own draft party going on concurrently. I went to check out the Mix first, but got hungry after a few picks in so I went down to Firestone to watch the rest of the draft and try to secure myself some food!
Grant Napear was doing his show at his usual location whenever he broadcasts out of Firestone. Carmichael Dave was also on site talking to fans and participating in the show. The draft is always a big day in Sacramento, and it gets full coverage by the news media here.
Both the Mix and Firestone were absolutely packed with Kings fans awaiting the news of who the Kings would draft this year with their number six pick. A lot of rumors have been swirling around the Kings regarding their players, coach, and front office personnel. Today would be a big day to put the those to rest.
At the number six spot the Kings picked Willie Cauley-Stein. Cauley-Stein is a very tall big man that is known for his defensive capabilities. A loud cheer went up as he was picked by the Kings. It'll be interesting now to see how he pans out for the team.
When it was all said and done I didn't end up getting food at Firestone - it was just too packed! As I walked back to my car I realized that the Squeeze Inn with their famous cheese skirt was right nearby. This is what I ended up getting. Yum.
