On the Monday edition of the Deuce & Mo Show, play-by-play broadcaster Kyle Draper joined the duo to discuss the team’s upcoming clash with the Houston Rockets, why the All-Star break is coming at a good time, and what the Sacramento Kings should do with the trade deadline Thursday.

Topics discussed:

  • How important is De’Aaron Fox returning to the lineup on this road trip?
  • What bothered Kyle Draper in Sunday’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans?
  • Draper’s thoughts on Kevin Huerter’s shooting slump
  • Is the All-Star Break coming at the right time for the Sacramento Kings?
  • The relationship between Draper and Kenny Thomas
  • What the trade deadline is like as a member of an organization
  • Davion Mitchell’s progress this season
  • What moves should the Kings make at the deadline?
  • “When you look at Monte McNair’s history, this guy isn’t going to sit back and let it play out. He’s been here for a couple of trade deadlines now and each one, he’s made some moves. I don’t think it’ll be anything major.”
