Some team will trade up for Jaden Ivey

There’s already been plenty of speculation that there are multiple teams that are trying to trade up to No. 4 with Jaden Ivey being one of the primary targets. I predict that one team will be successful in doing so with the Sacramento Kings.

There’s no legit surefire franchise player that could be selected at No. 4 and it would likely be better if the Kings found a way to exchange the No. 4 pick for multiple assets. Sacramento isn’t close to breaking through in the Western Conference and could benefit from a trade down in this draft.

A few teams to keep an eye on are the Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers, San Antonio Spurs, and New York Knicks. I have a feeling one of them will be successful on draft night.
