The 2018 Draft was a confusing time for Sacramento Kings fans. After years of swinging and missing on prospects and bad lottery ball bounces, the Kings finally had luck on their side, and moved up in the draft for the second consecutive season, obtaining the second overall pick in what looked, and proven, to be a loaded draft.
Sacramento’s intentions were kept quiet, though there was plenty of speculation about what player the Kings would select. In fact, it was nearly indisputable. European sensation Luka Doncic would presumably be available at #2, and Sacramento seemed like an obvious fit.
