Kings' NBA draft board, projected record possibly leaked on Twitter

Share

There's never a dull moment for the Sacramento Kings.

On Wednesday afternoon, UC Santa Barbara basketball coach Joe Pasternack tweeted a photo of one of his former players, Gabe Vincent, signing a contract with the Kings.

At initial glance, the photo looks innocent enough. But upon further review, the Kings might want to rethink allowing photo ops in their general manager’s office.

That's because the whiteboard in the background appears to reveal a couple of items that the team might not want made public.

First up, a possible draft order from the 2018 NBA Draft, listing DeAndre Ayton, followed by Marvin Bagley, Luka Doncic, Michael Porter Jr., Mo Bamba and Miles Bridges.

It’s not the way the draft went, but it shows what the Kings might have been thinking before June 21. They apparently were very high on Porter before injury issues popped up.

Hiding in the lower right corner of Vlade Divac’s whiteboard is “29-53.” Is that a possible reference to the Kings' expected record this season?

Just in case you needed more proof that it’s Divac's office, a photoshopped picture of the former Kings center as “The Vladfather” can be found to the right of his head.

Nothing in the realm of “top secret” was revealed, but the photo instantly became meme-worthy on Twitter. There’s a good chance that someone in the Kings office is on dry-eraser duty for the next few weeks.
