2022 NBA Draft Bets: Best Odds & Picks for Jaden Ivey

Purdue G Jaden Ivey at No. 4 (-200)

It’s important to know that guard is not a need for the Kings with De’Aaron Fox and Davion Mitchell in the backcourt. Right behind them are many teams that would love to build around Ivey, who has a ton of upside, quickness, a premier jump shot, and creates highlight reels when he finishes to the basket.

The fact that Kings do not need Ivey makes the ability to trade that pick more enticing. We can see someone move up to grab him, or Sacramento makes the pick and moves him later in the draft.
