The Sacramento Kings did well in the 2025 NBA Draft, picking up Nique Clifford and Maxime Raynaud. Despite both players having good preseasons, only one of them has been getting minutes in the regular season, leaving fans to wonder what's going on with Maxime Raynaud.
Without question, the preseason was incredibly good to Nique Clifford. He did so well that he was tapped to start in place of the injured Keegan Murray in the final preseason game and the first regular-season game. He was doing well, but has been out injured since that one game.
Dylan Cardwell has been another interesting story, an undrafted rookie the Kings signed.
