Undrafted Seton Hall wing Jared Rhoden is signing a summer league contract with the Kings and it could turn into something more substantial, according to Adam Zagoria of NJ Advance Media.
Rhoden might be offered a two-way contract, where he would split time between the big club and its G League affiliate, a league source told Zagoria.
Rhoden had 15 workouts with 14 teams prior to the draft, including a pair with the Kings. He averaged 15.5 PPG and 6.7 RPG last season and earned All-Big East First Team honors.
Rhoden impressed at the G League Elite Camp, which earned him an invitation to the draft combine.
The Kings have already committed a two-way slot to Alabama guard Keon Ellis, so Rhoden presumably is in play for the remaining spot. Center Neemias Queta occupied one of those spots at the end of last season.
Rhoden’s college career didn’t transpire as it initially appeared it would. But he’s definitely worth monitoring. He profiles as an NBA wing player on both ends. Good pickup by the Kings. Ellis too, btw.
