He wont be and he'd be crazy to return to school. I actually thought he was 1st rd worthy last year as a one and done. It's a dream scenario.
This question / thread really hinges on what happens in the first rd and also who stays and who goes in the draft.
If its Doncic I would be interested in Mo Wagner to further the 3 point firepower in the coming seasons. I think Doncic could fill in at backup point A combo guard like Shake Milton Elie Okobo or Tony Carr would still be nice though.
If anfernee simons or Mitchell robinson falls, its unlikely but too good to be true and they must pounce at the opportunity.
If the pick is a big the 2nd rd pick will be a wing, Jacob Evans is only 6'6 but could be a nice spark. Kris Wilkes from UCLA is a development project with nice upside they could stash in the g league for a year and save a spot on the roster with. Keita Bates Diop would be nice value at 36 and can contribute from day 1.
There's also the curious case of Rodions Kurucs who could have great upside for that type of pick and seems like a possible match with this roster.

I like Mo Wagner a lot in general because he'd be a good floor spacer. This team desperately needs more shooters, especially around Fox. This is the problem you run into with a PG who struggles to shoot. In today's NBA, you'd want at least 3 shooters on a team, but preferably 4. Fox and Giles/WCS already takes up that 2 non-shooting role. Kings need a floor stretching 4.
I liked Kurucs last year, but his lack of development this year has really turned me off. It was a mistake for him to pull out of last year's draft, and I'm sure he regrets it. However, I'd be ok with rolling the dice at #37 as long as our #2 pick isn't a wing.
I'm also looking for backup PGs with that pick too. I'm not the biggest fan of Frank Mason, and I think he'll need to earn his roster spot this year. Wasn't impressed with his game as a rookie, but I know he'll improve in year 2. Still, I think we need to give him competition.

If we get Doncic at #2, I would like to get Chimezie Metu PF/C from USC at #36.
This kid is very athletic and active. He has some range and always seems to be impacting the game.
He reminds me of a young Serge Ibaka. He's 6'10" 220lbs and very athletic and has some range.
He would be a nice piece for our big man rotation.

I want to see Metu improve on his 3pt shot. He's an improved shooter, but I think he still has ways to go before he can be a consistent 3pt shooter. Kings desperately need a stretch 4, and if they feel like Metu can become it, I'd be fine with drafting him.
Unlike Skal, Metu plays physical. He has dirty in him..which I don't like, but he's more aggressive than Skal on either end. Skal needs to show some serious growth this year.

KK and ZBo are on the last year of their contracts. After this year, we will have a big hole at backup center, with only Giles/WCS/Skal under contract past next year.
He gets his nose dirty on plays and is constantly around the action. I think for a second round pick, he will definitely be a solid bench big.

Jarred Vanderbilt's skillset is tailor made to platoon with Justin Jackson at the 3 and he can play some 4 too. He's got fatastic ball skills and passing ability for a 6'9 ball-hawk, if they go big with the 1st pick he makes even more sense. I'm all for it, hope his medicals are clean, i think eventually he can shoot it too. Reminds me of Al Farouq Aminu.
Brandon McCoy (C) would be a nice project big. Kevin Hervey (SF) looks intriguing but doesnt seem like a platoon match with justin jackson.
The other Justin Jackson (SF) from Maryland/Canada is a player I always liked, he's got upside aand is a good fit.
The Nova guards would be nice picks too. Okogie cann play some SF matchup dependant.
Jerome Robinson would put on a show in SL for sure.
I am hoping they resign Caboclo tho.

Here is another long shot like Caboclo (who I hope they resign to a two way) that could be a boom or bust 2nd round pick.
