For weeks, the Sacramento Kings have been linked to standout Purdue guard Jaden Ivey as their potential selection for next week’s NBA draft.
It is no secret that Ivey is considered the fourth-best prospect in this year’s class behind Jabari Smith Jr., Chet Holmgren, and Paolo Banchero. This means if the Kings are to mimic what they've done the last two years and take the best player available, Ivey will almost certainly be in Sacramento to begin his career.
Though most fans and analysts agree that Ivey is the type of player the Kings need, there is one large concern: can Ivey co-exist in a backcourt alongside De’Aaron Fox?
