Let's say the BPA at 7 or 8 when we pick is Trae Young and Colin Sexton. I don't think that is a major issue. We could possibly decide to follow the Trail Blazers backcourt:
Damian Lillard is 6ft 3 and 195lbs
CJ McCollum is 6ft 3 and 190lbs
Currently Fox is listed at 6ft 3 and 175lbs. Trae Young is listed at 6ft 2 and 180lbs, while Colin Sexton is listed at 6ft 3 and 190lbs. With a bit of work on adding muscle there's no reason why Fox and Young can't add a bit more to their frame if the team felt that was needed. Otherwise stick with them as the new look backcourt. I'm not saying they will be as good as Lillard and McCollum, but trying to replicate an explosive scoring backcourt might be an option.
The alternative could be to look at teams that might want to trade for a point guard. Orlando spring to mind. If they decide to take Bamba, they might be willing to trade for Young or Sexton. The best option could be if they pick Bagley or Porter, that makes Isaac or Gordon expendable and could be an option in a trade. Let them send us their first round pick for next year. Alternatively see if we can trade back with the Clippers, maybe they'll want a point guard and will send us their two picks.
Granted the best scenario for us is if a big or a forward falls to us at 7 or 8, but a point guard is not really the end of the world.

You know why?
Sexton was shooting 33 % from the three in his freshman year, De'Aaron Fox 24 % from the three in his freshman year...
While Damian was shooting just a little under 40 % from three in his college career and C.J. McCollum was shooting 38 % from three in his college career and over 50 % in his last year... you see the difference? I don't trust a backcourt which can't shoot the ball good, I know Fox showed some flashes last year, but he was hot/cold all the time.
And we have so many guards who will need playing time next year, Fox/Mason/Buddy/Bogdanovic likely we will sign some vet also if we are not keeping Temple.
We just have to hope that Porter JR drops to us, because our depth at SF is Justin Jackson only... I have a feeling we will sign Hezonja, but if the Kings try to sign max contract to add at the forward spot with Jabari or Gordon it will be again another move to get us deeper in the mediocrity, because those two will not be game changers who will likely get Max money this offseason.
