Overall

With no immediate expectations to be anything more than the fourth-best team in California, the Kings had leeway to use this offseason to take on projects and players who have more potential on their side than production on their resume.

Bagley was a no-brainer pick at No. 2 in the draft. Bjelica seems like a natural fit. Ferrell fills an area of need.

However, the trade to get McLemore and Davis was a head-scratcher. The upside is that those two have the raw material to be molded into solid contributors if they get enough opportunities.

Looking at the Kings’ lineup, they could have addressed the small forward position this summer; the only true 3 in the rotation is Justin Jackson.

The Kings are still putting this thing together, and there’s a lot to like about most of their young foundation pieces.

Even if the team had just drafted Bagley and not done anything else, this offseason would’ve been considered a good one. Adding two quality role players on reasonable contracts is an added positive.

Sacramento’s lottery streak will continue in 2019, but things are definitely looking good for the next decade.
