2025 Workouts

[CVKingsfan]

The Kings brought in six NBA prospects for their first pre-draft workout Monday at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.

The group featured Texas Tech star Darrion Williams, a Sacramento native who spent two years at Capital Christian High School before going to Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas. Others included Missouri guard Tamar Bates, Florida center Rueben Chinyelu, Georgia guard Silas Demary, Villanova guard Wooga Poplar and Kentucky center Amari Williams.

I’d take Darrion Williams. Sound like a lot of those guys including him are likely to go back for college cash though

An interesting side story to the workouts, is that the Kings brought in Jeremiah Fears, one of the best PG's in the draft, and a lottery pick, for a meeting. He didn't workout, at least to my knowledge. Makes one wonder if the Kings are cooking up a way to trade up into the lottery. It wouldn't be cheap.

As far as PG's go, the lottery player that I really like, and think has a chance to be a star in the league is V.J. Edgecombe. He's a lot of fun to watch and a terrific athlete

Wouldn't mind seeing the Kings land someone like RJ Felton as an undrafted FA if he makes it out. He definitely fits that mold of a Dort type physically.

Kings hosted their second pre-draft workout group:

The second group featured Tennessee guard Zakai Ziegler, East Carolina wing RJ Felton, Perth Wildcats wing Ben Henshall, Mississippi State forward Cameron Matthews, UAB forward Yaxel Lendeborg* and Oklahoma State forward Jalon Moore.

* It was later reported Yaxel Lendeborg withdrew his name from the 2025 draft.

The Kings sure have been working out the beefy, physical guards. Maybe the love for that type wasn't a Monte thing? Davion, Carter, plenty of workouts to that end so far this year. They look to be going next Dort hunting this offseason. I like it.

Arthur Kaluma got a generous write up from the no ceilings team. Sounds like he can at least get to the rim.

Arthur Kaluma is on the Cusp

Arthur Kaluma has been on NBA radars for a long time, and he's quietly made the improvements that evaluators have hoped to see from him before the 2025 NBA Draft.

Kaluma was on my draft wish list a couple years ago when they thought he might enter the draft. Kinda fell off the radar a bit the last couple years.

Alijah Martin is a favorite among some draft nerds. Would be a good choice in the second round given the circumstance.

Yeah Martin would be a solid pick up and a potential PG depth type. I've seen him undrafted mostly, but even at 42 I think someone like him in a draft like this if the Kings thought he might not make it out could be a good idea just to take him. I liked what I saw out his defense and ball handling at the combine.

Jamir Watkins is a guy to keep an eye on for the Kings in the second round. Some draft heads have him a a Naji Marshall clone

If the Kings sell off their 2nd rounder this season that would suck. Unless things upend, this was indeed a decent year to not have a first rounder. There's nba potential deep in the 2nd round this year. If the Kings are losing their pick at least it's in a year with kind of a 15-55 mush of potential spread throughout.

 

[iowamcnabb]

I like Kobe Sanders as a rookie free agent if he doesn’t get drafted.

"They want their mindset to be defence".

Curious how this manifests over the offseason and into the regular season.

Depending on what trades they make and/or signings we'll know for sure whether this is all BS like usual. You want to get better defensively? Play Carter and Keon for starters, it was already trending that way last season. Carter's +/- at the end of last season was crazy enough to push him near the upper end of the EPM stat amongst all rookies despite playing less than half the season and getting erratic minutes off the bench.

[iowamcnabb]

Toohey did well in Chicago so he might have worked his way out of our range but I like him if he falls.

 

[SacTownKid]

I'd say stay away from the skinnier combo guards but Proctor has some pretty legit shot creation. I'd be surprised if he lasts to 42 unless teams are scared away from his lack of elite athletic ability.

 

[iowamcnabb]

A perspective on Mohamed Diawara. 6’9 with a 7’3 wingspan plus a tight handle sounds like a player we should have interest in. If we end up with an additional second rounder this year in a Deebo trade, we would be a good draft and stash candidate.

Mohamed Diawara Scouting Report

Wing ball handlers with the combination of great athleticism and playmaking skills will draw attention from NBA scouts. But there's more to his game. Here are 3K+ words on his role and potential:
