The Sacramento Kings will work out Illinois guard Keaton Wagler next week, a move that lines up with the team's need for a lead guard and its No. 7 pick in the NBA draft. The visit comes after ESPN and The Athletic slotted Wagler around No. 5 in their latest mock drafts. The 6-foot-6 combo guard averaged 17.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.2 assists on strong efficiency while powering the Fighting Illini to a 25-9 record last season. Wagler's ability to score from both inside and outside the paint makes him an attractive prospect for the Kings, who are looking to add depth to their backcourt. The team's head coach, Mike Brown, has been impressed with Wagler's work ethic and basketball IQ, and believes he has the potential to be a key contributor to the team's success. The Kings will hold a private workout with Wagler next week, where he will be put through a series of drills and scrimmages to test his skills. The team's front office will also have the opportunity to interview Wagler and get a better sense of his personality and fit with the team's culture. The NBA draft is scheduled to take place on June 23, and the Kings are expected to select a player with the No. 7 pick. With Wagler's visit, the team is taking a closer look at a player who could potentially be a key addition to their roster.
