As I've said before, statistic say that after the first handful of players, draft picks are worth the inverse of the number. LA should have given up the 64th pick, so they won this one.

The two picks going to the Kings add up in value to #96/97, using this value chart:

Instead, the Kings spend pick #86 on the two picks.
