The Sacramento Kings are entering a pivotal offseason following a disappointing season, prompting a reevaluation of their roster. With a new general manager and Doug Christie stepping in as head coach, the Kings are contemplating whether to rebuild or continue with their star trio of Domantas Sabonis, DeMar DeRozan, and Zach LaVine. A pressing need for a point guard arose after trading De'Aaron Fox at the deadline, leading to speculation around several guards, including Trae Young and Jrue Holiday.

In a recent mock draft by ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel, the Kings are projected to select Duke's Tyrese Proctor with the 42nd overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Proctor, a versatile combo guard, demonstrated impressive stats at Duke, averaging 12.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.2 assists. His high basketball IQ and adaptability could make him an immediate contributor to the Kings' backcourt, filling a crucial gap for the team.
