Kings' Backup PG Crisis | Sacramento Kings News

The Sacramento Kings just drafted Darius Acuff Jr. with the 7th pick, but they’re in a bind: no backup point guard left after shipping off Schröder and Ellis and letting Westbrook’s deal expire. With Acuff a rookie needing time to develop, the Kings must act fast. Free agency is off the table due to luxury tax, forcing them to consider minimum-salary veterans like Gabe Vincent or Cole Anthony—or even re-signing Russell Westbrook, who thrived on a cheap deal. They’re also eyeing internal options like Flynn and Fultz, or maybe even bringing back Westbrook. The final call? Likely to wait until after Summer League to see who fits best.
