The Kings own pick No. in the NBA draft, and with a consensus clear top four prospects available, they should come away with a strong player. However, there is no guarantee that the player will be happy to go to Sacramento.
Purdue point guard Jaden Ivey could very well be the No. pick in the 2022 NBA draft. However, he doesn't appear keen on playing for the franchise that currently owns the fourth overall selection.
There are reportedly "a lot of teams" looking to trade up to select Jaden Ivey in the 2022 NBA draft, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Wojnarowski reported Thursday on NBA Countdown that teams are looking to trade with the Sacramento Kings for the No. pick: The list of interested teams includes the Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, New York Knicks and Washington Wizards, although Wojnarowski reported the Kings' asking price will be "significant."

The Sacramento Kings have nabbed Iowa forward Keegan Murray in the first round of the 2022 NBA Draft with hopes of upgrading their roster for the upcoming season. "It's a dream come true," Murray said Thursday night. The 21-year-old becomes the Univesity of Iowa's first first-round draft pick since 1998 when Ricky Davis was selected. Murray was projected to be picked 5th, according to ESPN's mock draft. Murray joins the Kings after averaging 23.5 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 31.9 minutes per game in his sophomore season, the Kings said in a release.

John Wall delivered a game-high 28 points as the Houston Rockets won their second-straight game over the Sacramento Kings 102-94, despite playing without National Basketball Association (NBA) all-star James Harden. Eric Gordon replaced Harden and scored 21 points, while Christian Wood finished with 20 points and 15 rebounds for the Rockets, who also beat the Kings 122-119 on New Year's Eve. I just put in a lot of hard work and dedication to get to this point,'' Wall said.
