NBA Draft 2011: Sacramento Kings Select Jimmer Fredette With 10th Pick

Jimmer Fredette Selected By Bucks (myarticlezone.blogspot.com) - The Sacramento Kings picked Jimmer Fredette of BYU with the No. 10 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. Jimmer is ridiculously trendy just about eveywhere, and information to play in a three-guard revolution with Tyreke Evans and Marcus Thornton.

Both Brandon Knight and Kemba Walker lasted to the No. 7 pick, but went end-to-end at No. 8 (Detroit Pistons) and No. 9 (Charlotte Bobcats), leaving Jimmer to Sacramento. Knight ended a run of five straight international players organization from No. 3 (Enes Kanter) to No. 7 (Bismack Biyombo).

Earlier on Thursday, the Kings traded their No. 7 pick to the Milwaukee Bucks down with Beno Udrih in exchange for No. 10 and good ol' John Salmons. Salmons is due $25 million over the next three seasons. Udrih was due $14 million over two years. The No. 10 is also classically less precious than the No. 7 pick.

The Kings next pick at No. 35. That pick should come down around 7:30 Pacific.

Milwaukee, Charlotte and Sacramento agreed in principle to the five-player trade in the hours before the draft. The Bucks are expected to receive guard Stephen Jackson, Shaun Livingston and the rights to the 19th pick from the Bobcats and Beno Udrih from the Kings for John Salmons, Corey Maggette and the rights to the 10th pick.
