Despite not having a 1st round pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the Kings have been busy; they’ve worked out 36 players, a number that will likely double as we get closer to June 20th. With three second rounders—the 40th, 47th, and 60th overall selections—the Kings are casting a large scouting net this year. And as ESPN’s Jonathan Givony pointed out, there’s a larger pool of underclass talent to scout this year than in previous draft classes.
17 college seniors and international players are currently projected to be drafted according to our latest forecast, leaving 43 spots for NCAA underclassmen.
