Standouts Marquel Sutton and B.J. Edwards lead a wave of hungry prospects joining Sacramento to battle top lottery picks in a high-stakes audition on the Vegas stage.
With the 2026 NBA Draft in the books, and three new players joining the official Sacramento Kings roster, the franchise has begun extending offers to undrafted free agents to play in the upcoming Summer League.
The NBA released the Summer League schedule for all 30 teams on Friday, and Sacramento's matchups will be against some of the top players in the draft class.
Throughout the team's first three games, Sacramento fill face off against Keaton Wagler (No. 5 overall pick) and the Los Angeles Clippers, AJ Dybantsa (No. 1 overall pick) and the Washington Wizards and Mikel Brown Jr. (No. 6) and the Brooklyn Nets, before finishing the slate against the Boston Celtics.
Thus far, multiple players have agreed to join the roster for these games, giving themselves additional opportunities to showcase their skills.
Edwards, who started his career at Tennessee, played many different roles for the Mustangs in his senior campaign, recording career-highs in rebounds (5.9) and assists (4.9) per game.
The 6-foot-3 senior showed major growth as a 3-point shooter, while posting his most efficient season of his SMU tenure (47.4-percent).
Edwards' versatility and defensive impact shined throughout the season, recording two triple-doubles, including a 24-point, 10-steal, 13-assist performance against Arkansas State.
Sutton, unlike Edwards, finished his career with a new program after three seasons at Omaha.
In 2024, Sutton was the Summit League Player of the Year for the Mavericks, averaging 18.9 points per game, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per contest.
Sutton left Omaha with 13 career double-doubles and over 1,300 career points scored.
In his lone season in Baton Rouge, Sutton led the team in rebounding (7.3) while finishing as one of LSU's top scorers, averaging just over 13 points per game.
Later in the week, Arizona guard Anthony Dell’Orso and Pacific forward Elias Ralph joined the team.
Ralph, who was a more unsung prospect in this year's loaded class, had two solid seasons at Pacific, setting program history.
In just two seasons, Ralph eclipsed 1,000 career points, becoming the first two-year player in program history to do so.
Last season, Ralph was the Tigers leading scorer (16.7) and rebounder (6.8), shooting a career-high 40.9-percent from 3-point range.
Following his workout with Sacramento, the 6-foot-7 forward said he is focusing on displaying his 3-point ability.
"My ability to shoot it," Ralph responded. "In college, I was more of a pick-and-pop four, but I think I can play a bit on the perimeter and play off a closeout or two as well."
After averaging 8.5 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game as a senior at Arizona, Dell'Orso brings a high level of shooting ability to Sacramento's Summer League team.
His strongest showing of the season came in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals against Iowa State, tallying 29 points on 10-of-14 shooting and knocking down six long balls.
