20. Sacramento Kings (from Portland Trail Blazers and Grizzlies) – Harry Giles

After taking De’Aaron Fox and Justin Jackson with their first two picks in the first round, I absolutely love the Sacramento Kings taking a flier on a player like Harry Giles. His upside his huge, even though he’s had three knee surgeries already.

This is a good risk that the Kings are taking. Even if he doesn’t work out, this won’t really hurt the Kings in the long run. That’s the beauty of having multiple picks in the first round.

Don’t look now, but the Sacramento Kings are actually having a…good…draft?

Grade: B
