The Sacramento Kings are hoping to head in a better direction under new general manager Scott Perry after taking steps backwards the past two seasons. Perry's new tenure began in earnest this week by selecting two players in the NBA draft and adding two undrafted free agents late Thursday.

Grading Sacramento Kings' 2025 NBA Draft originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Sacramento Kings entered the 2025 NBA Draft with only one second-round pick after their first-round pick conveyed to the Atlanta Hawks due to the Kevin Huerter trade in 2022.

The Sacramento Kings have selected Maxime Raynaud with the No. 42 pick in the 2025 NBA draft. Raynaud averaged 20.2 points and 10.6 rebounds per game this past season, which ranked 15th and ninth in the nation, respectively.
