Many people sang praises of how well the Sacramento Kings did at the NBA Draft. However, one particular and rather important person on the team at that moment wasn't too thrilled about how the repercussions of the draft would affect his own career: Darren Collison.

Collison, who just signed a two-year, $20 million deal with the Indiana Pacers, was content and as wide-eyed as the Kings were about the team's future. But it appeared as if the Kings didn't have the same vision that Collison had, especially with the team selecting Kentucky point guard De'Aaron Fox with its first pick and doubling down on another young point guard in the second round by drafting Kansas' Frank Mason III.

Sean Cunningham recently shared an ABC10 interview with Collision wherein the born-and-raised Californian expressed his disappointment on how the Sacramento organization never reached out to him in free agency.

“Nah, I didn't hear not one time from them; it was a bit disappointing… I wanted to stay. I was telling people that regardless of who they draft and what happened, I wanted to stay, I wanted to be part of this process to see this thing through. Didn't hear from them, not one time, so we had to move on.”

Collison's best seasons in the NBA were as a King. He attained his career-best average of 16.7 points per game in his first year in Sacramento and averaged no less than 13 points in each of his three years with the team as a 12.7 career per game scorer.

Despite the less-than amicable separation from his old team, Collison closed out his interview with nothing but appreciation for The Capital City and its great folks as he embarks on his second stint as a Pacer.

“No matter where I'd go, the fans would always showed love and support and I'll never forget that. I'll always have respect and love for these fans and the city. I'm always going to miss it out here.”
