Kings on the clock

The Sacramento Kings are now on the clock.

After two years of many, many losses under GM JWalk, thing may finally be looking up for the Sacramento Kings as they secured the first overall pick in the 2021 NLL Draft.

"We're excited for what the future brings," JWalk said. "This is a stacked draft class so we're going to have a lot of work to do to make sure we take the right guy."

Teams with the worst record have rarely wound up with the top pick, and the odds were especially against the Kings with changes in recent years lowering the odds to just 14% for the bottom team to stay at the top of the draft. But lady luck was on Sacramento's side.

"My heart doctor is going to be a rich man," JWalk said. "I knew the odds weren't great, but as other teams kept being drawn for other spots, my hopes kept rising and luckily they weren't let down.

JWalk hasn't publicly said exactly who his front office likes at the top of the draft, but sources say Cade Cunningham and Jalen Green are the top two candidates and that JWalk will be picking between the two on draft night.

As for the possibility of trades, sources say JWalk may not even seriously engage in talks to trade the pick.
