The Sacramento Kings have selected Maxime Raynaud with the No. 42 pick in the 2025 NBA draft. Raynaud averaged 20.2 points and 10.6 rebounds per game this past season, which ranked 15th and ninth in the nation, respectively.

Raynaud fell on the second night of the draft, and fills another huge area of need to provide length in the frontcourt. The 22-year-old is 7-foot-1 with a 7-foot-1 wingspan. He averaged 20.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.4 blocks on 46.7% from the field and 34.7% from three.

The Sacramento Kings made Raynaud the first Cardinal men’s basketball player selected since Ziaire Williams went 10th overall in 2021
