The Sacramento Kings select center Spencer Hawes in the first round

The Kings got the second best center in the NBA Draft last night.  The Kings weren’t sure that he would be available with the #10 pick so they were elated to see him slide.  Hawes is a big guy at 7′0″, 230 pounds and he played a big man’s game at Washington.  He played in 31 games at Washington and he averaged 14.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.7 blocks per game.  He shot 53.2% from the floor as most of his shots were at close range and he hit 75.5% from the free throw line which is really good for a big man.  Look for Hawes to eventually push Brad Miller into either a backup job or out of town soon.
