Kings Target Veteran Guards for Final Spot | Sacramento Kings News

The Sacramento Kings are narrowing down their final roster spot with three veteran guards in the mix: Victor Oladipo, Cam Payne, and Elfrid Payton. While Oladipo brings grit and leadership but limited recent NBA experience, Payne offers proven production—7.4 PPG, 2.6 APG last season—with the ideal fit as a backup point guard for rookie Darius Acuff Jr. Payton, meanwhile, has flashed elite playmaking (8.1 APG) in his recent stint with New Orleans. Though all three have value, Payne edges out as the top target. The Kings may also consider deeper options like Ben Simmons or Gabe Vincent if they’re seeking veteran presence over immediate impact—but Payne remains the most reliable choice.
