As we inch closer to the 2024 NBA Draft, Carmichael Dave and Jason Ross are beginning to examine players who could be on the Sacramento Kings’ radar.
The Kings hold the 13th pick in the draft, meaning they could bring in a player to help the team from day one, whether by using the pick on a prospect or by moving the pick to upgrade the roster via trade.
For Sacramento, adding a floor-spacing forward or big should be on general manager Monte McNair’s to-do list, but that doesn’t mean he won’t pick the player he and the rest of the Kings’ front office believe to be the best available–even a point guard.
Today, Dave and Jason profile Providence guard Devin Carter, son of former NBA guard Anthony Carter, who is currently projected to be available when Sacramento is on the clock.
Devin Carter | PG | Height: 6’3 | Weight: 193 lbs | Age: 22 | Big Board: 18th
Stats: 33 games | 19.7 points | 8.7 rebounds | 3.6 assists | 1.8 steals | 1.0 blocks | 47% FG | 37% 3PT | 35.3 minutes
Topics Discussed
- Carter impressed at the NBA Draft combine
- An on-ball defender and strong rebounder
- Carter has showcased an ability to finish around the rim
- Shooting is an area of concern for Carter, although he had a strong year from three-point range
- Does Carter have a higher ceiling than Davion Mitchell?
- Does Sacramento have to make a major move this offseason?
When is the next Sacramento Kings off-season date of interest?
The NBA Draft is now a two-night event.
Wednesday, June 26th, will act as the first night of the 2024 NBA Draft, where the Sacramento Kings will make their first-round selection (13th). The second round of the draft will be held on Thursday, June 27th, where the Kings will use its 45th overall pick.
Sacramento hasn’t had a first-round pick since 2022, when it selected Iowa product Keegan Murray with the fourth overall pick.
