Description

The Sacramento Kings second-round draft pick, Maxime Raynaud, is proving to be a golden find. After years of trading away their second-round selections, the Kings held onto their forty-second pick and signed Raynaud from Stanford to a guaranteed contract. Initially seeing limited playing time, Raynauds impressive performance has earned him a spot in every game since, averaging over eighteen minutes and showcasing significant improvement. His offensive versatility, size, and talented passing make him a tough matchup, with the Kings offense scoring over five points more per possession with him on the floor. Raynauds progress is undeniable, with impressive statistics in his last eight games, including a twenty-five-point game against the Houston Rockets. His play suggests he could soon be a starter, marking a new approach for the Kings front office.
