Sacramento scouts elite talent like defensive standout Maliq Brown and sharpshooter Emanuel Sharp, hunting for the next late-round gem to bolster their roster via the 2026 draft.

On Saturday, the Sacramento Kings announced six pre-draft workouts with NBA hopefuls, including Auburn's Keyshawn Hall, Houston's Emanuel Sharp, and Louisville's Isaac McKneely.

These workouts can be crucial for both player and team, allowing the coaching staff to get a personalized and up-close look at the prospects.

The Kings currently own three picks in the upcoming 2026 NBA Draft, including two second-round picks.

In this first round of workouts, many of the talents are projected as late second-rounders, with the Kings looking to find another late gem like All-Rookie Second-Team center Maxime Raynaud.

Keyshawn Hall (F, Auburn)

Hall is a unique talent, combining guard skills on the perimeter with a 6-foot-7, 225-pound frame.

Each season of Hall's collegiate career, he showed improvement, making his way from UNLV to Auburn with stops at George Mason and UCF.

Last season, under first-year head coach Steven Pearl, Hall averaged 19.3 points and 7.1 rebounds, shooting at 45/38/86 splits.

Tre Carroll (F, Xavier)

Carroll, who began his career at Florida Atlantic, broke out in his senior season at Xavier, averaging career-highs in nearly every metric.

The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 17.8 points per game shooting at an efficient 50.1-percent mark.

Carroll also knocked down more 3-pointers with the Musketeers than his first three seasons combined, showing growth as a perimeter shooter.

Maliq Brown (F, Duke)

Brown is a defensive standout, recording 68 steals and 24 blocks in a bench role for the Blue Devils.

After two years at Syracuse, Brown made the move to Duke, making deep runs in March Madness with head coach John Scheyer.

Last season, Brown was named ACC Defensive Player of the Year, ACC Sixth Man of the Year and ACC All-Defensive Team, becoming the first player in conference history to do so.

Emanuel Sharp (G, Houston)

Sharp became the 3-point make career leader at Houston last season, making 309 deep balls over his four-year tenure.

The collegiate veteran uses his quick release to get shots off before contesting defenders can make an impact, while also taking it upon himself to guard opposing team's best guards. 

Isaac McKneely (G, Louisville)

McKneely was an ACC-veteran in college, suiting up for Virginia and Louisville.

Like Sharp, McKneely is a marksman from deep, shooting at a41.4-percent clip for his career.

In the Round of 64, McKneely made seven 3-pointers to lead Louisville over South Florida, leading the Cardinals with 23 points.

Jaden Henley (F, Grand Canyon)

Henley was a member of the 2025-2026 All-Mountain West First-Team, averaging 17.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game.

He needs to work on his perimeter shooting, but possesses the athleticism to compete at the next level. 

Henley's highlight tape is full of explosive finishes and poster dunks, demonstrating his appeal to Sacramento.
