On Tuesday, the Sacramento Kings were blessed by the basketball gods, landing the No. 4 pick in the 2022 draft. The Kings absolutely needed some luck and another premium asset to add to their core of De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, and now will get that chance on June 23.
Before the lottery, it was the most likely scenario percentage-wise that Sacramento would pick No. 8, a perfect spot to aim for a long-term starter or make the available for trade. Now sitting at No. 4, it is time to change that line of thinking and go star-hunting.
