Interviews included Donovan Clingan, Dalton Knecht, Sacramento native Jared McCain, Alex Sarr, Ja'Kobe Walter & Cody Williams.
"In addition, I've heard the pre-draft workouts returned today after pausing for the Combine last week," Cunningham added. "Members of the Kings front office are scouting on the road - attending pro-day workouts hosted by top agencies in Las Vegas & [Los Angeles] this week."
The Kings currently have the No. 13 overall pick for the two-day draft that begins on June 26. Cody Williams, a 6-foot-8 forward out of Marquette, has been the player most projected to be drafted by Sacramento, although other players such as McCain and Walter also have been connected to the Kings.
While Kings general manager Monte McNair and Co. have a big decision to make to bolster their roster for the 2024-25 season, next month's event only will jump-start what's expected to be a busy offseason for the Kings.
