Scouting the Second Round for Potential Gems

By | 0 Comments | Feb 17, 2019

In the NBA Draft, the First Round reigns supreme.  That's where your franchise cornerstones and future stars are picked, as well as the main bulk of NBA players that stick around.  The 2nd round is usually an afterthought for most, consisting of mostly Seniors and Foreign players that never even make it over to the United States.

Yet every year there seem to be a few players that slip through the cracks into the 2nd round and end up being just as good, if not better than a lot of 1st rounders.  

What follows is a list of prospects that could be available to us in the 2nd round, sorted by position, and a small scouting report on each with much thanks to the help of DraftExpress and Chad Ford's Top 100, as well as some of my own observations.

Read, and share your thoughts on who you'd like to see the Kings take a chance on in the 2nd round.
