Draft day is finally here. There are a lot of crazy rumors swirling around the Sacramento Kings franchise right now, particularly centered around DeMarcus Cousins. The only thing we know for sure is that no matter what happens today, this team will be different in one way or another by the draft's conclusion.

The Draft Coverage begins at 4:00 PM Pacific on ESPN although the Draft itself won't begin until 4:30 PM. If the Kings remain at their current slot of 6th, they will end up revealing their pick sometime around 5:00 PM, give or take a couple minutes.

Make sure to keep checking Sactown Royalty throughout the day as we'll be keeping you up to date on any rumors or news that may break before the draft. The draft open thread itself will start at around 4 PM so come on and join us!

Also be sure to check SBNation.com for coverage of other teams, such as the trade that the Portland Trail Blazers and Charlotte Hornets made yesterday involving Nicolas Batum.

I love Draft Day. It's a day of change, a day of hope. I'm a little anxious, a little nervous, but I'm also excited to see Vlade Divac put his first official stamp on this franchise as the head of basketball operations.

Go Kings.
