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.
