The Kings will begin holding pre-draft workouts this week, with players coming in on Tuesday and Thursday.

Six players are set to audition Tuesday, including Rider guard Ryan Thompson, the younger brother of Kings forward Jason Thompson.

Vanderbilt guard Jermaine Beal, D-Leaguer Jeremy Wise, Seattle forward Charles Garcia, DePaul forward Mac Koshwal and Oregon State's Seth Tarver will round out the first session.

On Thursday the Kings will host Kansas State guard Denis Clemente, Cal's Jerome Randle, South Carolina's Devan Downey, Houston's Aubrey Coleman, LSU's Tasmin Mitchell and Raymar Morgan of Michigan State.

Kentucky coach John Calipari believes that the Kings would have some success with a backcourt tandem of Tyreke Evans and John Wall.

Calipari coached Evans, the reigning Rookie of the Year, at Memphis and had Wall at Kentucky.

Wall is the consensus top pick in June's NBA Draft. Sacramento had the third-worst record in the league this season, giving them a decent shot at the No. 1 selection.

"They're not the prototypical point guards, but they're both point guards with their ability to make plays," Calipari said of Evans and Wall. "Defensively, (the Kings  are) much better; offensively, (they're) much better. You can get easy goals."
