Arkansas star Darius Acuff Jr. isn\u2019t the only top NBA draft prospect who has come to Sacramento for a private visit with the Kings.<\/p>\n
Sources tell The Sacramento Bee that Houston point guard Kingston Flemings has also visited Sacramento in the past 10 days or so, as first reported by NBA insider Jake Fischer. In addition, Kevin O\u2019Connor of Yahoo Sports reported the Kings were scheduled to bring Illinois combo guard Keaton Wagler to Sacramento for an individual workout sometime this week.<\/p>\n
With five days remaining before the draft begins on Tuesday, Acuff, Flemings and Wagler are the only projected lottery picks known to have visited Sacramento. Kings general manager Scott Perry has allowed media to interview most pre-draft workout participants since taking the job in April 2025, but top prospects and their agents often prefer to keep their visits quiet.<\/p>\n
Acuff, Flemings and Wagler are consensus top-10 picks. One of the three should be available to the Kings at No. 7, assuming BYU\u2019s AJ Dybantsa, Kansas\u2019 Darryn Peterson, Duke\u2019s Cameron Boozer and North Carolina\u2019s Caleb Wilson are selected with the top four picks in the draft. Louisville point guard Mikel Brown Jr. is another possibility for Sacramento, but the Kings haven\u2019t been connected to him in the pre-draft process.<\/p>\n
Acuff is the likely choice if he is available at No. 7 due to his elite offensive abilities and superstar potential, but Flemings may very well be Sacramento\u2019s pick if Acuff goes to the Los Angeles Clippers at No. 5 or the Brooklyn Nets at No. 6. A current NBA agent and former scout who spoke to The Bee ranked Acuff and Flemings as the best pure point guards in the draft, saying Flemings will be a \u201c10-year starter\u201d in the NBA but \u201cnot an All-Star.\u201d<\/p>\n
Flemings averaged 16.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.5 steals as a freshman while leading Houston to the NCAA Tournament\u2019s Sweet 16. He shot 47.6% from the field, 38.7% from 3-point range and 84.5% at the free-throw line.<\/p>\n
Houston listed Flemings at 6-foot-4 and 190 pounds. At the NBA combine, he measured 6-2 \u00bd without shoes with a 6-4 wingspan. He has drawn comparisons to De\u2019Aaron Fox and Derrick Rose due to his explosive quickness and ability to push the pace.<\/p>\n
Acuff averaged 23.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists in his only season at Arkansas to help coach John Calipari\u2019s Razorbacks reach the Sweet 16. He shot 48.4% from the field, 44.3% from 3-point range and 80.9% at the free-throw line.<\/p>\n
Wagler averaged 17.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 0.9 steals as a freshman while leading Illinois to the Final Four. He shot 44.5% from the field, 39.7% from 3-point range and 79.6% at the free-throw line.<\/p>\n
Wagler also posted impressive numbers in the NCAA Tournament. He averaged 18.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists while shooting 37.1% on 7.1 3-point attempts per game.<\/p>\n
Brown averaged 18.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.2 steals to help Louisville reach the second round of the NCAA Tournament. He shot 41% from the field, 34.4% from 3-point range and 84.4% at the free-throw line.<\/p>\n
