The Sacramento Kings added more shooting to their electric offense as they selected Kyle Guy with the 55th pick in the NBA Draft.

After selecting Justin James with the 40th pick in the draft, the Sacramento Kings were not done. With Vlade Divac having two picks (47th & 60th) left in the event, two more players were projected to be chosen by Sacramento at the end of the night.

But when the Kings were on the clock at the #47 spot, Vlade threw a curveball. Instead, he made a trade with the New York Knicks that gave the Kings the 55th pick and cash in exchange for the 47th pick. When the 55th pick came along, the Kings decided to go with Kyle Guy from the University of Virginia.

Who Is This Guy?

For the last three years, Kyle Guy has been the Virginia Cavaliers and recently came off a championship winning season. During his tenure with the team, he averaged around 13 points, three rebounds, and two assists a game and made around 43% of his shots from the floor, 43% of his three-point shots, and 81% of his free throws.

In his last season with the Cavaliers, he averaged around 15 points, five rebounds, and two assists a contest and made around 45% of his shots from the floor, 43% from the perimeter, and 83% from the free-throw line.
