Life is too short.  In the case of ex-Sacramento King draft pick Tyler Honeycutt his life was cut way too short.  Honeycutt was drafted by the Sacramento Kings back in 2011 in the second round.  He didn’t play much as a King.  24 games to be exact before he was moved along with Thomas Robinson, and Francisco Garcia to Houston.  Honeycutt didn’t last long in the NBA.  That dream is over but now sadly his life is over too.  I watched him play a lot at UCLA and can’t claim to truly know him but did like the person that I had met when he arrived in Sacramento.  He was just 27.
