NBA Draft rumors: Kings could end up with Keegan Murray’s twin brother

In the final notable piece of information given in this mock draft, it seems like the Kings may draft the twin brother of Keegan Murray. While this is just a mock draft, it would be cool if the family members and former Iowa teammates reunited in the NBA.

The more important piece of information that Givony gives out about the Kings is the fact that they will be looking for experienced players who can help contribute to the team now rather than developmental players.

Ever since, the Kings traded Tyrese Haliburton for Domantas Sabonis, the Kings have been on a win-now timeline. It somewhat worked in their first season as they made the playoffs for the first time since 2006.

They ended up losing to the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs but losing to one of the better teams in the West in a very competitive series is about as good as it could get for the Kings heading into the season. It seems like the Kings will be following through with strategy and drafting a player who can help them now rather than later.
