Scottie Barnes
Scottie Barnes could be at the top of the list for the Kings. They will have a lower selection in the top 10 and this is where Barnes could fall to them. The 6-foot-9 product from Florida State would fit perfectly into the scheme. His three-point shot needs a bit of work but has the ability to make plays in the lane and at the tim.
Barnes is a strong defender. This is because of his 7-foot-2 wingspan. He moves well laterally for a big man and can protect the rim. At the next level, he will not be a center but has the ability to play multiple positions, especially in the frontcourt.
As a shooter, Scottie Barnes finished 27.5% from three-point range but this is an area that prospects improve once they get drafted. The three-point shot is such a big part of the game nowadays. Barnes will come into the league with playmaking ability and defensive strength. This checks the boxes for Sacramento.

There is a good chance that Scottie Barnes is available for the Kings. If they land a higher pick, they will go in a different direction but Barnes could be their guy near the bottom of the top 10.
