Kings look over four potential draftees on Father’s Day

By Charlie O. Mallonee 

The Sacramento Kings held their next-to-last pre-draft workout on Sunday at their practice facility next to Sleep Train Arena. The Kings final pre-draft workout will be held on Monday morning.

The Kings evaluated four players on Sunday – Long Beach point guard Mike Caffey, Wisconsin small forward Sam Deckker, Wisconsin power forward Duje Dukan and Arizona small forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.

Draft express.com has Deckker being the 16th overall pick in the NBA Draft on Thursday night. Draft Express has Hollins-Jefferson projected as the  22nd selection in the draft.


The Kings are looking at Dekker and Hollins-Jefferson in case they make deal for their sixth pick and receive multiple picks later in the first round.

For Hollins-Jefferson, this was his 11th workout for an NBA team. Dekker stated this workout was his ninth audition of the pre-draft season.

The Kings are looking for diamonds in the rough in Dukan and Caffey. Do not forget, the Kings own the Reno franchise in the NBA D-League. If the Kings see a player who is not NBA ready but has some potential, they will invest in some player development for that individual.

The Kings will evaluate four more players on Monday – Colorado point guard Askia Booker, Wisconsin center Frank Kaminsky, Arizona point guard T.J. McConnell and St. Mary’s power forward/center Brad Waldow.

Sports Radio Service will be at the Kings’ practice facility on Thursday night for the 2015 NBA Draft.
