4. Sacramento Kings

The Kings are another franchise that would need some Lottery luck to land Edwards, but the idea of pairing him with De’Aaron Fox in the backcourt should cause Sacramento’s coaches to salivate. The two could form a high-octane backcourt that could vault the franchise back into playoff contention in short order.

Adding Edwards to the mix in Sacramento would give the team a ton of options on a nightly basis. The idea of putting Fox and Edwards in a small lineup with Buddy Hield, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Marvin Bagley is particularly exciting. Edwards would give that group the athleticism on the wing required to really flourish.

It’s also possible that landing Edwards would allow the Kings to move on from Hield. That could help the Kings bring back a player they feel better fits their roster in the coming years.

Landing in Sacramento might not be the best spot to improve Edwards’ defense, but it could do wonders to improve his offensive efficiency. Keep a close eye on the Kings as a team that might want to move up to grab Edwards as the draft approaches.
