SAC: PODCAST: The Best Small Forwards in Sacramento Kings Franchise History
Nick Agar-Johnson/Ray LeBov, Kings Weekly Podcast
Nick and Ray discuss the best small forwards in the history of the Kings franchise. They give out their three “All Kings” nods to the three best SFs as well as highlighting some of the other top small forwards who have worn a uniform for the franchise. They start off with Hall of Famer Jack Twyman and his skills on the court as well as his support of his teammate and friend Maurice Stokes. They move on to the other SF whose jersey hangs in the rafters at Golden 1 Center: Sacramento-era legend Peja Stojakovic. After that, they cover the All-Franchise Third Team small forward, Scott Wedman. They also cover some of the other outstanding SFs. They wrap up by discussing the recent news of the firing of friend of the program Jason Anderson and others at the Sacramento Bee and McClatchy newspapers nationwide.

Brandon Kleen, Awful Announcing
Note: This is a huge loss to Kings and NBA coverage. For years, as BI readers and Kings Weekly Podcast listeners know, Jason Anderson has covered the Kings and the Assn as one of the very best NBA beat writers. A great guy and an outstanding journalist. Hard to imagine that there won’t be significant competition for him to choose from for his next gig. We can only hope that means he will still be involved in NBA coverage. Best of luck, Jason!
