Following draft night, Monte McNair, the general manager for the Sacramento Kings, spoke to media regarding the decisions that transpired when time was on the clock and beyond.
Taking the No. 4 overall lottery pick in Iowa Hawkeyes wing Keegan Murray, McNair doubled down on how the 22-year-old ‘became unanimous’ amongst Sacramento’s front office due to his ability to defend and stretch the floor:
“I think we’ve been consistent as we’ve talked about what we want to do, especially in the draft, and our approach is to pick the best player available, add to our team and use all our assets in the best way we can to make the team better now and going forward.
