When the Sacramento Kings opted to draft Marvin Bagley III over Luka Doncic and Jaren Jackson Jr. with the second pick in the 2018 draft, it wasn’t very well-received. But now, after an incredibly promising rookie year, Bagley appears destined for stardom.
It’s not often the Sacramento Kings have drafted the right player, and though you could argue Bagley was still the wrong choice—some still will—it seems clear he wasn’t the wrong choice.
In his rookie year, he averaged just 14.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, one assist and a block per game.
