The 2018–19 Sacramento Kings season will be the 74th season of the franchise, its 70th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 34th in Sacramento. The Kings will enter the season with the longest NBA postseason drought at 12 seasons, attempting to make their first appearance since 2006. On May 15, 2018, the Kings would enter the 2018 NBA draft with a surprising jump up into the no. 2 spot of the draft. It would be their highest first round pick since the 1989 NBA draft.[1] That pick would be used on Duke University's Marvin Bagley III.

The Kings would enter draft night with two selections, the first of which having them rise up from tying the Chicago Bulls with the sixth-worst record of the draft the previous season turned into having the #2 pick of the draft and the second pick resulting in them having the higher of second-round picks after losing the first-round tiebreaker to the Bulls. With the second pick of the 2018 NBA Draft, Sacramento would select early freshman power forward Marvin Bagley III from Duke University. Marvin was one of the few top competitors entering the draft this year, and even though he was first projected to be a senior at Sierra Canyon High School earlier in the previous season, he jumped up into the collegiate rankings early to play a single season at Duke. In 33 games played for Duke (starting in all but one of those games), Bagley recorded spectacular averages of 21 points (at .614 overall percentage, including a .397 three-point percentage), 11.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, .9 blocks, and .8 steals under 33.8 minutes per game. As a result, he was named a consensus All-American First Team member, the Pete Newell Big Man Award winner as the best low-post player that year, the ACC Rookie of The Year, the ACC Player of the Year, and a member of the All-ACC First Team. As for their second-round selection at #37 (which became Gary Trent Jr. from Duke University), it was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers for two future second round picks and cash considerations.
