The Sacramento Kings made the biggest jump of any lottery team yesterday, moving all the way from 7 to 2. It marked the first time in the modern lottery era that the Kings have jumped to the top 3, and it could not have come at a better time.
The Kings are a team in search of a franchise altering talent, and thanks to the lucky bounces of four ping pong balls, they now have their best opportunity in recent memory to get one. Whether it’s Deandre Ayton, Luka Doncic or someone else, the Kings will get their shot at getting someone who can potentially turn this franchise around, and add on to a young core that already showed some promise.
