No. 5 Sacramento Kings- Jayson Tatum (Duke, FR, Small Forward)
Sacramento benefitted the most in the NBA draft lottery by making the jump to number 5 (and by keeping their later pick at 10, but we’ll discuss that later).
Let’s face it, the Kings need talent and time to become anything of a contender again. Insert Jayson Tatum. At 6-foot-8, he can spread the floor and bring defenders out with his great shooting range as well as be a force around the rim.
Tatum has a great flow to his game and I still believe could end up being one of the best players in this draft when it is all said and done. He’d be a fantastic building block for Sacramento.
Tatum won’t make the Kings contenders anytime soon, but would be an excellent building block to stick next to Buddy Hield.
