Sacramento Choose Labissiere

The Sacramento Kings used their final first-round draft pick on Skal Labissiere, a center that played for the Kentucky Wildcats this previous NCAA season.

During his only season in Kentucky, Labissiere averaged 6.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game. He also shot 51.6% from the floor.
