Kyle Guy (Virginia/6’2″/175 pounds)

Although shooting guard is not a position of need for the Kings, Kyle Guy could be a good pick deep in the draft. The Kings could always use more perimeters shooters for their electric offense, and Guy was one of the best in that aspect of the game this past collegiate season.

For the year, he averaged around 15 points a contest and made around 45% of his shots from the floor, 43% from the three-point line, 83% from the free-throw stripe, and recorded an effective field-goal percentage of 59%. Guy has also shown to be a consistent shooter throughout his three years with Virginia as he made over 42% of his threes during his tenure.

There is no doubt that Kyle Guy would be a project if the Kings drafted him, but he has the potential to become a spot-up shooter down the road with his track record and pure shooting form. And who knows, by the time Guy does reach his potential, the Kings could be in need of a two guard who can hit shots.

Right now, Guy is projected to be drafted late in the second round or not at all. So if the Kings decided to use their last two picks on the Virginia sharpshooter, it could be a good gamble, in my mind.
