Marvin Bagley III appears to be heading to the Kings.
Bagley is a “near lock” to be selected by Sacramento No. 2 overall in Thursday’s 2018 NBA Draft, according to a report by the Dallas Morning News. The Suns are expected to draft Arizona big man Deandre Ayton with the top pick.
Am hearing that after Ayton at 1, Bagley is a near-lock at 2. After that, good luck with your guesses.

Bagley averaged 21 points and 11.1 rebounds per game as a freshman at Duke in 2017-18. He was named the ACC Player and Rookie of the Year as well as an AP All-American following the season.
The Kings were reportedly considering drafting Missouri forward Michael Porter Jr. at No. 2. They also could select European star Luka Doncic.
The Kings are definitely still weighing it... https://t.co/6zzdPheQQL
