Kings will prioritize drafting the best player available

Kings General Manager Pete D'Alessandro believes the team will prioritize drafting the best player available instead of selecting based on need in this year's NBA Draft.

“I think we’re in a position to take the best player we can get.", D'Alessandro said, "Right now we have 28 wins and our best-case scenario would have been 29. So we’re not in a position where I could say any position is covered. All the positions are covered, but we still only had 28 wins. I have to take the best player.”
