For the first time in 16 years, the Sacramento Kings are not involved in the NBA lottery. In the 2023 NBA Draft, the Kings hold the 24th overall pick. This 2023 draft class is loaded with talent, and Sacramento could get a steal of a prospect with their late first-round selection. But, instead of taking a chance on a rookie, the Kings are reportedly expected to try and trade their 24th overall pick.
The Sacramento Kings, after a first-round playoff exit, will be looking for immediate-impact players that can come and help make a playoff push next year.
