12. Sacramento Kings – Aaron Nesmith, F, Vanderbilt

There are a number of potential prospects that would fit on the Sacramento Kings and what they’re building. One prospect that I really like is Aaron Nesmith. Even though some view him as somewhat of a niche player or specialty player, I believe in his ability and potential at the next level.

Nesmith has good size for a wing and will be considered one of the better long-range shooters in this draft. He averaged 52 percent (!!) on nearly eight attempts per game. He had some injury issues last season, but the hope is that he can shake that off and go on to have a long professional career.

Though, his medicals will have to clear in order for him to be taken in the lottery. The idea of De’Aaron Fox being flanked by as good of a shooting combination that Buddy Hield and Nesmith could be should give Kings fans all kinds of excitement.
