Kings add shot-blocking Neemias Queta with No. 39 pick

The Kings may have found the rim-protector they’ve been looking for in the second round of the 2021 NBA Draft.

The Sacramento Kings closed out their draft night by using the No. 39 pick to draft Neemias Queta, a shot-blocking center that last played for the Utah State Aggies.

The thing that stands out immediately about Queta is his size. He’s a legit 7-footer with a massive 7’4 wingspan. And the best part? He knows how to use his length to his advantage.

As a junior at Utah State, Queta posted a block percentage of 13.2%, which was the highest in the Mountain West Conference. He also led the MWC in blocks per game for the 2020-21 season. If there’s one thing he can do, it’s protect the rim. But Queta has also improved as a passer over the last year, which makes him a much more intriguing prospect.

Here’s what Austin Montgomery of SB Nation’s Mid-Major Madness had to say about the newest member of the Kings:

Kings fans could see Queta and Davion Mitchell, the latter of whom Sacramento drafted with No. 9 overall pick on Thursday, as soon as Tuesday, when they’ll host the Golden State Warriors at the California Classic.
