The Sacramento Kings find themselves in an interesting spot this Thursday. With the 76ers trading for the first pick, their ability to trade up seems far slimmer, while the uncertainty behind who they’ll be able to select at five has only grown.
The Boston Celtics will likely be deciding between either Jayson Tatum or Josh Jackson with the third overall pick, while Phoenix Suns general manager Ryan McDonough recently stated that his team plans to go for the “best player available” at four.
That could mean that Phoenix reaches for a point guard, potentially taking De’Aaron Fox off the board.
