Sacramento, for the first time in what feels like forever, actually has a solid foundation, as the backcourt duo of De’Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton will cause problems. With or without Richaun Holmes, the center spot will need an upgrade.
Sengun might be the top international prospect in this class, as he has a truly rare blend of offensive polish and rebounding refinement at a young age. Sengun should be able to eventually get double-doubles in his sleep.
Sengun will struggle on the defensive end, and his ceiling will be capped by how much he improves in that area. If the Kings coax that out of him, he could help end the infamous playoff drought.
New Orleans nailed the Zion Williamson pick, and Brandon Ingram is starting to develop nicely. While they have some solid surrounding pieces, they are missing that tertiary gunner that can rise up from 3-point range and defend bigger wings.
Moody is a lethal perimeter defender, and the bulk of his only season with the Razorbacks was the perfect showcase for someone who will drain 3-pointers and get key stops from Day 1 in the pros.
While Eric Bledsoe hasn’t been super inspiring in New Orleans, the Pelicans do have something in Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and the combination of NAW and Moody can help take some of the pressure off of Williamson and Ingram.
