Even though the Sacramento Kings did not make the playoffs this season, the results of the upcoming NBA Draft Lottery are irrelevant to them. Due to their next first-round pick belonging to either the Boston Celtics or Philadelphia 76ers, the Kings will go into the NBA Draft with their earliest pick being the 40th overall.
It does suck that the Kings at the moment will not be picking in the first round, but knowing the current situation of where their team is at helps cure the wound.
The Kings did not make the playoffs, but they were arguably one of the more exciting teams to watch this season.
