The Sacramento Kings have signed rookie guard Tyrese Haliburton to a contract, according to General Manager Monte McNair.
“We are thrilled to have drafted Tyrese and excited to welcome him to the Kings family,” said McNair. “He is an incredibly talented athlete whose shooting, creative passing and ball handling skills combined with his ability to defend either guard position will be a valuable addition to our backcourt. Tyrese also has an engaging personality and is just the type of high character individual who fits the future of what we are building in Sacramento.”
Sam Amick: The pitch that McNair made en route to landing the job, I’m told, was to build the team around 22-year-old De’Aaron Fox (who just landed his massive extension) with similarly-aged players. The 28-year-old Bogdanovic clearly wants to go, and – Oh, by the way – his presence would create a logjam for 20- year-old rookie Tyrese Haliburton (who they were thrilled to land at No. 12). Haliburton pushed his way to Sac, partly, because he thought he could fit with Fox.
