It’s a big offseason for the Sacramento Kings. General manager Monte McNair is going into his second season at the helm, and the pressure will increase to end the Kings’ 15-year playoff drought.

Sacramento has been mentioned as a suitor for some of the big names reportedly available on the trade market. NBA insiders believe McNair will kick the tires on Damian Lillard and Ben Simmons.

The Kings have two foundational pieces in place with De’Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton. McNair will hopefully get some similar luck to last year’s draft when Haliburton fell to No. 12. Sacramento holds the No. 9 pick and is looking to add another young piece to add to the team’s core.

The Kings need to improve on the defensive end, and some prospects that should be available at nine fit the bill.

Here is who some NBA insiders have Sacramento taking in their latest mock drafts.
