He also explains why the program retired Karaban's jersey and what made him such a respected teammate and winner. Plus, Hurley discusses why Karaban has the tools to become an elite role player in the NBA, why that role is so valuable in today's game, and what the Kings accomplished on the first night of the draft.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
