Monte McNair went into his first draft as the Kings General Manager with a number of options for the 12th overall pick. What he didn’t expect was for Iowa State point guard, Tyrese Haliburton, to be available that low in the draft. With Vlade out, new executives in the front office, and McNair at the helm, the Sacramento Kings didn’t try to reinvent the wheel. They simply made the right choice and went with the best player available. Although he plays the same position as De’Aaron Fox, it would have been foolish to pass on a talent like Haliburton.
