Sacramento Kings

2. (43) Patrick Ewing Jr., F

alleyoop — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 22:12:02 +0000

The Kings went with name recognition here as Ewing was not much of a player in college. He does have a lot of experience and he is used to coming off of the bench so he might be able to give the Kings some quality minutes off the bench. He is 6′8″, 240 pounds but he’s not really a banger under the boards. Ewing played in 127 games (26 starts) in his career at Georgetown and Indiana and he averaged 4.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. Don’t expect much out of him.

2. (42) Sean Singletary, PG

The Kings wanted a point guard capable of backing up Beno Udrih this season and Singletary could be that guy. Singletary is a little on the small side at 6′0″, 185 pounds but he’s a mature player at 22 years old. Singletary played in 123 games (all starts) at Virginia and he averaged 16.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game. Look for him to be a solid backup as a rookie and maybe more down the road.

1. (12) Jason Thompson, PF

alleyoop — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 22:05:50 +0000

The Sacramento Kings might have been reaching a little bit with the selection of Thompson in the first round of the NBA Draft but they needed someone tough around the basket and he fits the bill. Thompson is 6′11″, 250 pounds and he has a lot of college experience to draw on. Thompson played in 122 games (112 starts) at Rider and he averaged 16.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.9 blocked shots per game. Thompson’s game is in the paint as he shot 52.6% from the floor in his college years. Thompson has a lot of upside but the Kings will likely be patient with him in 2008-09.

The Sacramento Kings were happy with rookie Spencer Hawes this season

alleyoop — Wed, 21 May 2008 05:54:18 +0000

Rookie center Spencer Hawes played well backing up Brad Miller this season. He played in 71 games (8 starts) for the Kings this season and he averaged 13.1 minutes, 4.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. Look for Hawes to start in the near future for the Kings as Brad Miller’s career is winding down.
