I don’t trust the Kings to do the right thing, so I’m sure they’ll end up picking someone like Ntilikina or Markkanen here. However, Sacramento is arguable the best positioned team in this draft outside of Boston and I don’t think even Vlade can screw this up. They’re high on Hield, Labissiere, and Willie Cauley-Stein. They need a point guard in the worst possible way and Fox is arguably the second best point guard in this draft. He is the most vocal leader of all the lottery picks, which will help the Kings get the right culture going. They could also go for Tatum here, but it’s a point guard’s league and it’s tough to pass up on one of the best when your next best option is Ty Lawson.
