This is really the bottom line. It's frustrating to Kings fans to watch this happen.
As a small market franchise (KC and Sac), the Kings have been in the lottery 28 times, and have won the #1 pick once in a dud draft.
As a small market franchise, the Spurs have been in the lottery 7 times, and have won the #1 overall pick three of those lotteries, each time with a consensus #1 overall big man in the draft.
