Like I mentioned in my previous pre-draft workout article, there’s a very good chance that none of the players that the Kings are working out today will be drafted in the first round of this upcoming draft by Sacramento.

But, if they make a strong impression today in front of Vlade Divac and the crew, they could be getting a call from Sacramento when the second-round comes into play.
