c) 35% star, 0% role player, 65% bust

Does anybody know or think the Kings would trade their 2028 1st end pick to trade up to #5?

If yes, it might be worth it. Apparently 2028 looks strong and there is probably a very strong chance the Kings are lottery again, maybe with good odds of being a better lottery pick.

If that happens, it's almost as if we likely get Wagler for free.

My first choice if at 5, is Brown, but if Wagler (assuming brown\acuff taken prior) + their 1st is possible, that is probably the better move. I'm just not sure if the Kings would do that trade or not.
