Louis King, SF, Oregon

Composite Ranking: 17

Louis King is a volume scorer with an NBA body. He stands at 6-foot-7 with a 7-foot wingspan. King really doesn’t do anything else well. He’s not engaged on defense and is a nonexistent passer. King probably is not quick enough to guard wings in the NBA.

However, he could hold value as a matchup problem offensively at a small ball 4 role. Unless he gains some explosiveness, King won’t have much value only being able to guard one position.

Especially if he doesn’t defend his position well. If King shows he can guard on the perimeter and have an efficient scoring season he could be a one and done but it’s a toss up right now.
