The Sacramento Kings will host five draft hopefuls, including two pontential first rounders, at their practice facility for a pre-draft workout on Sunday, according to the team’s press release.
The more intriguing prospects expected to attend are wings Sam Dekker of Wisconsin and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson of Arizona. The two are envisioned as role players at the professional level and are lauded for their defense. Dekker is considered to be more polished than Hollis-Jefferson but both carry concerns with their jump shooting.
Rounding out the group on Sunday will be point guards Mike Caffey of Long Beach State, Juwan Staten of West Virginia and power forward Duje Dukan, Dekker’s teammate at Wisconsin.
Dekker and Hollis-Jefferson are projected to be selected in the mid to late-first round by DraftExpress’ estimates. Caffey, Dukan and Staten are expected to go undrafted, but Staten is most likely of the trio to be picked in the second round.
