3. Marvin Bagley III (2018)

Given that Bagley has only played 75 games over his first two seasons, it may come as a surprise to see him this high on the list. He has been extremely productive in a short amount of time, averaging 14.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 25.3 minutes per game. Unfortunately, that has not led to much winning.

Bagley appeared in only 13 games so far this season while dealing with injuries and the team was 2-11 in those games. Bagley looks like the big man of the future, but the sample size is still small. The fact that the team took him over Luka Doncic and Trae Young is also a negative.

This goes to show just how poorly the Kings have drafted in recent memory. Bagley has not had much to show so far and already ranks this high on the list. He looks to be one of the best picks for the franchise in recent memory but he will have to prove that for an extended period. After that, he may be able to move even higher on the list.

That being said, it may be tough for him to drop much lower on the list. He has already been quite productive and shown that he belongs in this league. Hopefully, he will be able to stay healthy and become the All-Star he has the potential to be.
