Kings Host Intriguing 2nd-Round Targets In New Wave of Pre-Draft Workouts

The Sacramento Kings continue to do their homework on second-round and UDFA prospects.

In this story:

With just one week left until the NBA Draft, the Sacramento Kings have announced another group of prospects coming in to work out:

  • G Milos Uzan, Houston
  • G Tre Donaldson, Miami
  • G Corey Camper, Nevada
  • F Aaron Nkrumah, Tennessee State
  • C Micah Handlogten, Florida
  • C Graham Ike, Gonzaga

Unsurprisingly, no candidates for the 7th pick here. Those workouts have clearly been confined to no-press, private sessions. Darius Acuff Jr. and Kingston Flemings have both reportedly had private workouts with the Kings.

There is still plenty of talent in this group, though. Sacramento continues the good work they have done in bringing in interesting candidates for their second-round picks. 

Who Are These Prospects? 

Milos Uzan shared the backcourt with Flemings at Houston this season, scoring 11.1 PPG, adding 2.7 RPG and 4.1 APG on 38/34.3/74.1 splits. Uzan spent his last two seasons with Kelvin Sampson and Houston after transferring from Oklahoma. 

Simply put, Uzan plays like a classic Houston guy. He is very physical for his position, has a very high motor (particularly on defense), and does not get sped up very easily. Whether these skills translate to an NBA career will largely depend on how his outside shot develops. 

Aaron Nkrumah, the 48th-ranked prospect on the consensus big board, presents a wing option with a strong trajectory that was probably overlooked by some because of where he played. Nkrumah began his collegiate career at Division 3 Worcester State before transferring to Tennessee State for his last two seasons. TSU made the tournament, but was not on the national stage much before then.

However, Nkrumah has consistently improved in each of his college seasons, culminating in winning the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year while scoring 17.7 PPG and leading TSU to the NCAA tournament this season. Given his steady, sustained trajectory, he is certainly worth a look in the second round. 

Graham Ike had a great college career, consistently posting strong numbers for good Gonzaga teams, headlined by a Third Team All-American finish this season. The size and rebounding immediately pop. Those, paired with strong playmaking numbers for his size, should lead to a higher draft position. 

The downside to Ike is that there is still much to be desired on the defensive end. Regardless, Ike would bring an exciting jolt of playmaking into a frontcourt that could be losing Domantas Sabonis soon. 

Micah Handlogten is a very interesting name. Handlogten started over both Alex Condon and Thomas Haugh in 2024. Injuries limited Handgloten to 16 names in 2025, opening the door for Caraban and Haugh. The duo ran with the opportunities while helping Florida to a championship. 

Handlogten played just 15 MPG behind Condon and Haugh this season as well, so his counting stats were pedestrian. However, his stats per 100 possessions were back to pre-injury levels. If a team thinks they can get similar production at the NBA level, he could easily return value wherever he is taken - second round or UDFA. 

Corey Camper has had a Nkrumah-like trajectory, steadily improving each season. After two junior college seasons, his scoring average has gone from 8.4 to 10.6 in two seasons at UTEP to 16.6 in his senior season at Nevada. 

Camper shot 39.9% from three this season, and is big enough (6’5") to defend (smaller) NBA wings. Most of his looks were not self-created, so he could be a complementary rotation piece at the next level. 

Tre Donaldson is another seasoned college player, spending two seasons at Auburn before breaking out at Michigan in 2024-25. He then transferred to Miami, where his ascension continued. Donaldson put up 16.4/3.6/5.7 while leading Miami to the tournament. 

The NBA draft is now just one week away. Sacramento has done plenty of homework on prospects that will be there for them in the second round and potentially as UDFAs. Here’s hoping they are able to capitalize on those later picks and UDFAs as well as they did last year.
