NBA Mock Draft: Spurs get #1 again, but Chicago Bulls get the steal
#13: Sacramento Kings select Zach Edey
This will be a controversial call for anyone who takes Edey, as there are some questions about whether he’ll be able to move enough to defend in the NBA.
But he wouldn’t have to take on a big role for the Kings, who already have one of the best big men in the league, allowing Edey to be a high-efficiency scorer off their bench or a running mate with Sabonis in giant lineups.
Taking a guy who could be a backup center in the lottery may be a reach, but the Kings need to add rotation players to a winning roster and Edey should be one.
