7. Sacramento Kings – Shaedon Sharpe, G/F, Kentucky

For those that have read my content before, you know my stance on the Sacramento Kings. They’re impossible to predict and that was very much evident at the NBA Trade Deadline. Heading into the NBA Draft, that will remain true.

That said, I feel like Shaedon Sharpe is such a Kings pick. Sharpe is one of the biggest unknowns in the draft because he’s likely not going to play at all this season for Kentucky and he’ll have to be graded almost solely on pre-draft workouts.

The Kings will take the gamble based on his talent and will select him in the top 10. In fairness, if he is indeed in this draft class, will be a lottery pick. But he sure is going to be a huge gamble.
