Sacramento Kings: 3 Guards To Draft In The Second Round
By Rafe Wong
Jordan Bone (Tennessee/6’3″/180 pounds)
The Tennessee Volunteers were able to earn a high seed in the March Madness tournament this year, and Jordan Bone played a key part in that. This collegiate season, Bone was awesome to watch as he facilitated a Tennessee offense that was one of the best in college basketball.
In the 37 games that Bone played this year, he averaged around 14 points, six assists, and three rebounds a game while he made around 47% of his shots from the floor, 36% from the perimeter, and 84% from the free-throw line.
What made Bone an effective player this season was his ability to contribute multiple ways on offense. The guy can score both by shooting the ball or driving to the basket while being able to set up scores for his teammates. Not only was Bone good at facilitating the offense with his speed and quickness, but he also took care of the basketball as he only averaged two turnovers a game.
If the Kings were to draft Bone, he has a chance to be an asset down the road. The athleticism is there and his ability to run a fast-paced offense has high potential. The knocks on Bone is that he is undersized and not a reliable perimeter shooter, but in my opinion, those are aspects of the game that can be improved with time.
If the Kings take the chance on Bone, they might have their future point guard to backup De’Aaron Fox.
