A Guy The Kings Should Consider At #60

A player that I think the Kings could steal in the draft is Kyle Guy from the University of Virginia. Could he be the next Isaiah Thomas?

Considered undersized by NBA standards at 6’2″, Guy still finds ways to get the job done. The same way Isaiah Thomas got work done when he entered the draft standing at 5’9″. Kyle’s stock is at an all-time high coming off a great performance in the NCAA championship game, along with being voted the MOP (Most Outstanding Player) of the match. This is Guy’s best chance to be drafted. Guy would be a summer-league invite at best without the March Madness exposure.

Breaking Down Guy’s Numbers

Kyle is not going to overwhelm anyone with his athleticism. He stands at 6’2″, weighs around 175 pounds soaking wet, and looks like he is 16 years of age. The benefits that he brings, however, is his will to win and perimeter shooting.

Guy’s three-point shooting is respectable at over 42% from the area. His shooting form is close to perfect to go along with his quick release. Crafty at getting in the lanes allows him to score. With his reliable three-point shot pulling up or coming off a screen, he could be a specialist sometime in his future.

Kyle is worth a chance with the last pick if a team felt he has the “It” factor. Guy is on the outer edge of the draft boards like many players who qualify on talent but fall short for other reasons. So many players, only 60 picks in the draft with the competition being tough. The drive and basketball IQ of a player could make the difference when your team is looking for that gem deep in round two.
