George

King

With seven players listed on the injury report, Dallas needed to add some depth. They found it in King, who has played a total of six NBA minutes. It’s likely that the Mavs will only keep him around until they get healthy, so he doesn’t have any relevance in fantasy basketball.

This is just a training camp contract, so while King will provide another body at camp, he’ll likely be waived and head to L.A.'s G League affiliate before the start of the 2021-22 season.

King, the 59th pick in the 2018 Draft by Phoenix, spent last season on a two-way contract with the Suns. He only appeared in one NBA game, but had a productive season in the G-League.

He was with the Suns at their press conference after the draft, and general manager Ryan McDonough said he liked how King was so different from the other three Phoenix draftees. King has length on defense and is going to be in Las Vegas. The 59th pick is likely going to be in the G League.

King is known as a defensive specialist and the reason he almost fell out of the draft is likely his age -- he’s 24 years old. He fits the mold of 3-and-D in today’s NBA but will likely be consigned to the G League during the 2018-19 season, despite his relative experience.
