Neemias Queta, the 39th overall pick in July’s NBA draft, has officially signed a two-way contract with the Kings, the club announced today in a press release.
Queta, 22, played his college ball at Utah State. As a junior in 2020/21, the young center averaged a double-double (14.9 PPG, 10.1 RPG) with an impressive 3.3 blocks per game in 29 contests (30.0 MPG).
The Kings carried over Louis King as a two-way player from last season, so King and Queta will occupy the team’s two-way contract slots.

Sacramento is currently carrying 12 players on guaranteed contracts, three players on non-guaranteed deals, and two on two-way pacts, for a total of 17. That number will increase to 20 (the offseason limit) if and when the Kings complete their previously-reported deals with Alex Len, Matt Coleman, and DJ Steward.
Never saw him play, but his name just sounds dirty. It sounds like a sexual position that only exists in theory.
A great signing. Kings Management doing a good job.
He’s a legit 7 footer with exceptional feel and timing. He’s enormous. Keeping up in transition is a question.
