7. Sacramento Kings

Biggest Need: PF/C

Dream Selection: Jaren Jackson Jr., F 

It’s pretty clear now that the Sacramento Kings’ decision to move DeMarcus Cousins was a mistake. In retrospect, it’s easy to see that. Now, they could right a wrong by selecting another versatile big.

This is where adding a player like Jaren Jackson Jr. could pay dividends. Jackson could come in and grow alongside DeAaron Fox, who has already shown some impressive potential throughout his rookie season.

But, again, this is the Kings. So, who knows?
