The biggest roadblock for the Sacramento Kings during their decade-plus long rebuild has been their ineptitude when it comes to scouting and drafting young talent. No matter which regime has been in charge, the franchise just cannot seem to make the correct picks. So while all of the talk this season is about passing on Luka Doncic, it is Damian Lillard who the Kings might have benefitted from the most.
Yes, Doncic is very likely a generational talent and will be an MVP candidate for years to come. He is young, dominant, and is already a veteran when it comes to playing professional basketball.
