Andrew Wiggins is another athletic wing the Sacramento Kings can target. NBA trade rumors have indicated that the Golden State Warriors are open to parting ways with Wiggins this offseason, and he could be a valuable addition to the Kings' squad.

Wiggins has improved under Steve Kerr's tutelage and looks a much more mature player than he was during his stint with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wiggins averaged 18 points, five rebounds and two assists per game for the Warriors last season, acting as the secondary scorer behind Stephen Curry. He also did a commendable job of guarding the opposition's best wing players.

The Sacramento Kings can use a player like Andrew Wiggins, as they need a forward who can contribute on both ends equally. The Kings are expected to lose Harrison Barnes to a contender in the 2021 NBA offseason, and Wiggins is the best possible replacement they could ask for.

#1 - Clint Capela, Center

The Sacramento Kings might find their center room empty this summer, with Richaun Holmes and Marvin Bagley III potentially on their way out. Holmes is a free agent and Bagley is reportedly unhappy with the franchise. Their third option, Hassan Whiteside, has flattered to deceive, leaving the Sacramento Kings devoid of a quality big on their roster.

Clint Capela had a brilliant 2021 postseason as a traditional, rim-running center with Trae Young at point guard position. Capela averaged 10 points and 11 rebounds on 60% shooting from the field during the Atlanta Hawks' dream playoff run.

Capela is one of the best rebounders of the ball on both sides of the court, apart from being a solid defensive player. He can also make pick-and-roll plays work well with a talented point guard, and the Sacramento Kings have two brilliant decision makers in De'Aaron Fox and sophomore Tyrese Haliburton.
