The NBA Draft Lottery will be held in Chicago on Monday evening, and the Sacramento Kings are hoping for a massive stroke of luck. The 2025 draft class is expected to be one of the best in recent seasons, and the Kings could desperately use an injection of young talent.

In a stunning stroke of luck, the Dallas Mavericks were awarded the right to select Duke star Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft. There was no such luck for the Sacramento Kings, who will go into their first draft under general manager Scott Perry without a first-round pick.
