The Sacramento Kings continue to do their due diligence leading up to the 2021 NBA Draft, which is set for July 29.

Jason Jones of The Athletic reports that the Kings had a pair of prospects in town for a visit. Georgia Tech point guard Jose Alvarado and Florida shooting guard Scottie Lewis worked out in front of team officials on Monday.

Alvarado is listed at 6’0, 180 pounds. He averaged 15.2 points, 4.1 assists, and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 39 percent from the 3-point line. Alvarado’s offensive stats are encouraging, but he shined on the defensive end over his career at Georgia Tech.

After leading the conference in steals for the past two years, Alvarado was named the ACC Defensive Player of the Year last season. He was also named All-ACC during his junior and senior seasons.

Most draft pundits have Alvarado as a second-round pick heading into the draft.

Lewis is another player who is projected to go later in the draft. He’s listed at 6’5, 185 pounds and averaged 7.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists while shooting 31.8 percent from deep during his sophomore season with Florida.

Here is NBADraftRoom.Com’s scouting report on Lewis:

The Kings hold the Nos. 9 and 39 picks in this year’s draft but could look to add some more later selections. Both Alvarado and Lewis will be long-term projects who have some defensive upside.
