The Kings are trading Delon Wright for Tristan Thompson

In the NBA Draft, it’s tough not to take the best player available when you’re in the lottery, and the Kings did that when they drafted Davion Mitchell, a national champion guard out of Baylor.

The problem with picking a guard is there wasn’t expected to be a ton of playing time for Mitchell behind De’Aaron Fox, Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield, Delon Wright, and Terence Davis. As a result, Sacramento is clearing out one of the players in front of Mitchell by reportedly trading Delon Wright to Atlanta.
