NBA professional basketball team season
NBA professional basketball team season
The 2018β2019 Sacramento Kings season was the 74th season of the franchise, its 70th season in the
National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 34th in
Sacramento .
The Kings entered the season with the
longest NBA postseason drought appearances at 12 seasons, last qualifying in
2006 . On May 15, 2018, the Kings were given the
2018 NBA draft second pick via the lottery, their highest first round pick since the
1989 NBA draft ,
[1] and selected
Duke University 's
Marvin Bagley III . The Kings improved from the previous season and held a winning record through the All-Star break, reaching the 30 win mark at the break for the first time since
2005 . Despite the improved record, they again missed the playoffs for a record 13th straight season on March 30 as they lost against the Houston Rockets. This was the most wins the Kings have had since the
2005β06 NBA season where the Kings had a 44β38 record as the 8th seed in the Western Conference and lost to the San Antonio Spurs in a six games series.
Draft picks
The Kings entered draft night with two selections, the first of which had them rise up from tying the
Chicago Bulls with the sixth-worst record of the draft the previous season turned into having the #2 pick of the draft and the second pick resulting in them having the higher of second-round picks after losing the first-round tiebreaker to the Bulls. With the second pick of the 2018 NBA Draft, Sacramento selected early freshman power forward
Marvin Bagley III from
Duke University . Marvin was one of the few top competitors entering the draft this year, and even though he was first projected to be a senior at
Sierra Canyon High School earlier in the previous season, he jumped up into the collegiate rankings early to play a single season at Duke. In 33 games played for Duke (starting in all but one of those games), Bagley recorded spectacular averages of 21 points (at .614 overall percentage, including a .397 three-point percentage), 11.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, .9 blocks, and .8 steals under 33.8 minutes per game. As a result, he was named a consensus All-American First Team member, the
Pete Newell Big Man Award winner as the best
low-post player that year, the ACC Rookie of The Year, the ACC Player of the Year, and a member of the All-ACC First Team. As for their second-round selection at #37 (which became
Gary Trent Jr. from
Duke University ), it was traded to the
Portland Trail Blazers for two future second round picks and cash considerations.
