The ping pong balls have dropped and the Sacramento Kings will draft No. 9 overall in the 2021 NBA Draft. This year will mark the seventh time in the Kings’ history that they’ve drafted No. 9 overall and the first time since 1984, when they drafted Otis Thorpe.
Here are the full draft lottery results:
- Orlando Magic
- Sacramento Kings
- Golden State Warriors
The No. 9 pick is obviously not the pick that Kings fans were hoping for, but they can find some solace in knowing that they didn’t fall out of their projected spot like the Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors did.
