Summary
The Sacramento Kings kick off their rebuild with a big seventh-pick haul: Darius Acuff Jr., but the real story is in the young talent. Look out for the sophomore trio—Nique Clifford, Maxime Raynaud, and Dylan Cardwell—who each have unique paths to stardom. Clifford needs to score more to lock down a starting spot, Raynaud must shoot more threes to space the floor for Sabonis, and Cardwell must stay out of foul trouble to become a true defensive anchor. This season’s focus? Watching these guys grow—and maybe, just maybe, turn the Kings’ fortunes around. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
