With NBA free agency largely wrapped up, it’s a great time to take a look at each NBA team’s depth chart as we head closer to the NBA season. Let’s take a look at the Sacramento Kings’ updated depth chart following free agency, along with some analysis of the team’s incoming and outgoing players as they shape up for the 2026–27 season.
PG: Darius Acuff Jr., Malik Monk, Isaiah Stevens, Adam Flagler
SG: Zach LaVine, Emanuel Sharp, Daeqwon Plowden
SF: De’Andre Hunter, Nique Clifford, Alex Karaban
PF: Keegan Murray, Precious Achiuwa
C: Domantas Sabonis, Maxime Raynaud, Dylan Cardwell, Jonathan Mogbo
The Sacramento Kings’ offseason was relatively quiet, as the team decided to focus on rebuilding through the NBA Draft rather than making numerous free-agent signings. The biggest addition to the roster this season is Darius Acuff Jr. Acuff was selected with the seventh overall pick, and some analysts and fans were surprised he lasted until No. 7, even in an extremely talented guard class.
Acuff had an incredible freshman season at Arkansas, where he dominated SEC competition by averaging 23.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game. He also shot 48.4% from the field and 44.0% from three-point range. Acuff will be one of the new leaders of this young and unproven Kings roster, and it will be interesting to see whether he can handle the size and physicality of the NBA.
The Kings also drafted Alex Karaban with the 29th overall pick out of UConn. Karaban was one of the most decorated collegiate players in the draft, with two NCAA championships to his name. He projects as a stretch forward with excellent shooting ability, something Sacramento will be hoping to utilize.
Outside of the draft, the Kings re-signed forward Precious Achiuwa to a two-year, $11.23 million contract. Achiuwa is entering his seventh season in the league and is coming off the best year of his career, averaging 10.1 points and 6.7 rebounds while shooting 52.8% from the field with Sacramento last season.
The most surprising news surrounding the Kings was their decision to waive six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan. Although DeRozan is still a capable scorer who should generate plenty of interest in free agency, both sides agreed to part ways as Sacramento looked to move in a younger direction while also creating more financial flexibility.
The Kings were not very active during the offseason, and their main focus appeared to be developing their current players and building their roster through the draft. While there likely will not be any huge jumps in performance this season, the organization will be hoping its young stars take the next step in their development.
