When Vlade Divac was asked to discuss the potential of Marvin Bagley shortly after drafting him last June, the General Manager of the Sacramento Kings waxed eloquently about the second overall pick’s incredible versatility on the offensive side of the floor, even going so far as to discuss the potential of playing Bagley at small forward in the future. Despite the relative impossibility of that belief, there has been one clear message issued from the Kings since day one: they do not believe Marvin Bagley is a center in today’s NBA.
That opinion has been a driving factor behind Sacramento’s approach to free agency, as every reliable outlet has reported their interest in signing a quality big man this summer.
