Summary:
Elias King is an athletic swingman that played at Mississippi State and Middle Tennessee State during his collegiate career. He can score the basketball in a variety of ways, but is coming off a down season in which he didn’t shoot nearly as well as he did during the 2022-23 season. Still, he is a smooth athlete that can knock down jump shots when given the time and space. He likely will need to hone his game either in the G-League or overseas, but he would likely project into a 3 and D role if he ends up making his way to the NBA someday.
