The guard-forward is a tremendous rebounder for his size (6-foot-5), and his tight handle and court vision could help provide additional playmaking in Sacramento’s second unit.

The entire NBA community gathered this month in Las Vegas to network, make transactions and watch the league's newest rookies.
