Maxime Raynaud 2025-26 season stats

Maxime Raynaud’s rookie season in Sacramento ended with league recognition on May 20, when the NBA named the Kings center to the 2025-26 All-Rookie Second Team. The Kings said Raynaud appeared in 74 games, made 56 starts and averaged 12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 26.5 minutes per game. Sacramento also listed his shooting splits at 57.1% from the field and 78.6% from the free-throw line, while press coverage published May 21 put his 3-point accuracy at 32.4%. The 42nd pick in the 2025 NBA draft, Raynaud arrived without the profile of a lottery selection or a projected day-one starter. By the end of the regular season, he had become one of the few clear positives in a 22-60 Kings season, according to NBC Sports Bay Area. The Kings said he is the 22nd player in franchise history to make an All-Rookie team and the eighth to land on the second team. (nba.com) ### How much did Raynaud actually play as a rookie? Raynaud played 74 of Sacramento’s 82 regular-season games and started 56 of them, according to the Kings’ May 20 release. That workload matters because it shows he was not used as a situational reserve; he was part of the regular rotation for most of the season. (nbcsportsbayarea.com) NBC Sports Bay Area reported that Raynaud ended up logging major minutes as injuries hit the Kings’ roster. That context helps explain why a second-round rookie had enough opportunity to build a full-season case for league honors. ### Which numbers defined his season most clearly? (nba.com) The Kings’ official stat line put Raynaud at 12.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game on 57.1% shooting from the field. Sacramento also said he averaged 1.4 assists and shot 78.6% from the line. A May 21 press account cited by NBC Sports Bay Area said Raynaud hit 32.4% of his 3-point attempts. (nbcsportsbayarea.com) For a 7-footer, that number is part of why his rookie year drew attention beyond basic box-score production. ### Why does the draft slot keep coming up? The Kings said Raynaud was selected with the No. 42 pick in the 2025 NBA draft. (nba.com) NBC Sports Bay Area also identified him as the No. 42 overall selection and described his season as a strong first year that led to All-Rookie recognition. The Kings Herald said Raynaud was the lone second-round pick selected to this year’s All-Rookie teams. (nbcsportsbayarea.com) That detail sharpened the case that he outperformed where he was taken, even in a class with more highly drafted rookies. ### Was this just a late-season surge or a full-season result? The May 20 All-Rookie announcement reflected full-season voting, not a single hot stretch. (nba.com) Still, outside coverage earlier in the spring showed Raynaud’s profile rising before the final awards were announced. NBC Sports Bay Area reported in March that he had posted back-to-back 30-point games, including a career-high 32 against San Antonio and 30 against Philadelphia. (kingsherald.com) FOX40 reported on April 2 that Raynaud had also been named Western Conference Rookie of the Month. That award, combined with his final All-Rookie selection, showed that his season-long production had translated into league recognition before and after the regular season ended. ### Where can readers verify the numbers? (nbcsportsbayarea.com) The Kings’ May 20 team release carries the most complete official rookie-season summary, including games played, starts, points, rebounds, assists and shooting percentages. NBA and local Sacramento coverage published on May 20 and May 21 also recorded the All-Rookie selection and Raynaud’s role in Sacramento’s season. (fox40.com) NBA.com’s player page for Raynaud also lists his honors, including an All-Rookie team selection and a Rookie of the Month award. Those pages are the next reference points as Sacramento moves into the 2026 offseason. (nba.com 1) (nba.com 2)
