The Nuggets, picking seventh, reportedly won’t let a top player slip to the Pistons at No. 8.

But the Kings might help at No. 6.

Candace Buckner of the Indianapolis Star:

"I’m hearing Cameron Payne’s stock is rising. Sacramento Kings, who own the No. 6 pick, high on him & bringing him in for solo workout nxt wk"

I like Payne just fine, but I wouldn’t take him that high. This reeks of the Kings falling in love with a prospect because they’re convinced they need a point guard.

If they want to do that, as a Pistons fan, I approve.

Lets hope Payne wows in this workout.
