Last summer, the Sacramento Kings chose to select Davion Mitchell from Baylor University and — much like the Keegan Murray pick this year — some fans of the team didn’t necessarily receive the pick with the amount of joy you would hope for. They had selected a guard in Tyrese Haliburton the previous year, and already had their franchise guy in yet another guard De’Aaron Fox, whom they drafted only a few years before.
So why another guard?
Well, the answer to that question came quickly, in the 2021 California Classic and Las Vegas Summer League.
