The Sacramento Kings will evaluate six draft prospects during a pre-draft workout session on Monday in Sacramento, according to a report from Sean Cunningham on Sunday, June 14. The group includes forwards Baba Miller and Tucker DeVries along with guards Bruce Thornton, B.J. Edwards, Fletcher Loyer, and Kobe Knox.
Miller, a forward from Cincinnati, arrives after a rescheduled workout following an illness. In his senior season at Cincinnati, he averaged 13.0 points and 10.3 rebounds while shooting 52.9% from the field across 31 games, adding 3.7 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.2 blocks per contest in a high-usage frontcourt role.
Thornton, a senior guard from Ohio State, posted 19.9 points per game in 2025–26 on 55.4% shooting. He also averaged 5.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists, while converting 40.0% from three and 82.9% at the free-throw line over 34 games, continuing a multi-year rise in scoring efficiency and creation volume.
Edwards, a guard from SMU, averaged 12.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.9 assists in his senior season. He shot 47.4% from the field and 37.2% from three, adding 2.3 steals per game across 28 appearances while handling expanded on-ball duties in his final collegiate year.
Loyer, a Purdue guard, finished the 2025–26 season with 14.1 points per game while shooting 45.0% overall and 43.2% from three-point range. He also maintained elite free-throw accuracy at 87.4% and averaged 2.1 assists in 39 games, continuing a consistent four-year shooting profile.
Knox, a South Carolina guard, averaged 10.8 points per game in 2025–26 while shooting 49.1% from the field and 31.1% from three. He added 3.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game across 32 appearances, providing a multi-year sample of scoring efficiency inside the arc with moderate perimeter volume.
Devries, an Indiana forward, averaged 13.7 points and 5.3 rebounds in 2025–26 while shooting 39.7% from the field and 33.3% from three. Across a five-year collegiate career spanning Drake, West Virginia, and Indiana, he posted 16.8 points per game with 35.9% three-point shooting on high volume attempts.
The workout group arrives shortly after the 2026 NBA Draft order was finalized, with Sacramento holding the No. 7 overall selection in the first round. The Kings also control multiple second-round picks, including No. 45 overall, giving the front office additional evaluation pathways for backcourt and wing depth.
League-wide, the 2026 draft class includes headliners such as AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer, and Darryn Peterson, with multiple high-usage guards expected to be selected in the lottery.
