Must Acquire One Asset From The Draft

The Sacramento Kings do not have a first-round pick in the upcoming draft, but they do have three picks in the second round. Most likely, the Kings will not be acquiring a promising star like De’Aaron Fox or Marvin Bagley III in this year’s draft. But that does not mean that they still cannot select an asset for their team this month.

The Kings do not need a star necessarily, although I am sure the Kings community would not be opposed to it. But rather, they just need one of their picks to land a solid guy for their rotation of players next season. The position does not matter as well. Just get someone who can flat out play the game and help the Kings win games.

As of now, Vlade Divac has three chances to land that type of player, but his chances could increase if he decides to move up in the draft. Possibly in the first round?

This would not be a pipe dream for the Kings. They have three second-round picks and young assets on their team, so packaging a deal with another franchise to get in the first round is definitely doable.

But no matter what Vlade decides to do when he is on the clock, he has to make sure he is getting a player who can legitimately compete for playing time next season.

The effort to achieve this has not been questioned, however, as the Kings have been powering through pre-draft workouts for the last couple of weeks.
