In accordance with a report by HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, the Boston Celtics are set to work out Louis King within the coming days. King spent final season with the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-way contract.
At 6’7’’, King can play each the three and the 4. But, the previous Detroit Pistons rookie has struggled to cement a job within the NBA, having performed for 3 groups prior to now 4 years. Contemplating The Athletic’s Shams Charania’s report that Boston will probably be figuring out TJ Warren and Lamar Stevens, King will seemingly be auditioning for the crew’s two-way spot slightly than a spot on the primary roster.
Judging by how Brad Stevens navigated the 2022 offseason, Boston is more likely to carry one open spot into the season to offer flexibility in commerce discussions or if a participant turns into obtainable by way of waivers. As such, it could be honest to imagine that Warren and Stevens are set to battle it out for the 14th spot on the primary roster, whereas King and DJ Steward are potential two-way choices.
No matter who winds up incomes themselves a cope with the Celtics, it’s clear that Stevens and the teaching employees are keen to enhance their wing depth. All through final season, depth behind Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown was a official weak spot inside Boston’s rotation.
After including Oshae Brissett and Dalano Banton (who’s listed as a guard however has the scale to slip up), Boston’s wing depth is already in higher form than it was final season. Nevertheless, there are official questions concerning Brissett and Banton’s scoring potential.
King could have his work lower out for him if he needs to earn a roster spot for the upcoming season, both as a two-way man or inside the primary rotation. Nonetheless, Boston wants one other wing, so why can’t or not it’s King?
