Boogie Ellis has reached a contract agreement with the Kings and will compete for a roster spot in training camp, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link).
The 23-year-old guard played for Sacramento’s Summer League team after going undrafted out of USC last month. He averaged 11.2 PPG in five games while shooting 51.3% from the field and 54.5% from three-point range.
Ellis began his college career at Memphis in 2019 before transferring to USC two years later. He earned second-team All-Pac 12 honors last season while averaging 16.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 29 games with the Trojans.
The Kings currently have 13 players with standard contracts, and that number will grow with the expected signing of Orlando Robinson. Sacramento’s three two-way slots are filled by Mason Jones, Isaiah Crawford and Isaac Jones.
I wanted “Boogie” Cousins, though
Does anybody know if Keon Ellis has a fully guaranteed contract for this upcoming season?
I believe they did it last season
Non-guaranteed until January.
Yes Ellis I know guaranteed this season at 2.1 million. Next year is team option.
I hope the Kings plan on upgrading the SF Position or get a PF and Move Murray to SF. Such as Kuzma or Johnson, because while they upgraded, it’s NOT enough to get you over the top.
