Sacramento Kings

Georgios Papagiannis, C (13) *via Phoenix, Malachi Richardson, SG (22) *via Charlotte, Skal Labissiere, C (28) *via Phoenix, Isaiah Cousins, SG (59)

Ugh.  The Kings made poor decision when they traded their right to Marquese Chriss at pick 8, for picks they would use on Georgios Papagiannis at a bold reach of 13th overall, and the prospect who deserves the superlative ‘most likely to bust,’ Skal Labissiere.

On the bright side they traded Marco Bellinelli for the 22nd pick, and landed a great player in Malachi Richardson.  Even if they rake in big on a Cousins trade (which they won’t), Sacramento is leaving this off-season in an uncomfortable place.

Draft Grade: C-

Next: San Antonio Spurs
