Kings Considering a Pair of Veteran FA Guards to Fill Open Roster Spot Though They Do Have Options; Who Is the Best Option

The Sacramento Kings are reportedly considering free-agent veteran guards Gabe Vincent and Kevin Porter Jr. to fill an open roster spot. After trading Nique Clifford to the Oklahoma City Thunder for two future second-round picks, the Kings have two open roster spots. Under NBA roster rules, Sacramento has approximately 14 days to bring their squad back to the league minimum of 14 standard contracts.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Kings are seeking backcourt depth to support rookie Darius Acuff Jr. Writer Daniel Benjamin argues that Porter is the best fit due to his offensive upside and size, though other options include signing Vincent or converting two-way players Jonathan Mogbo, Leaky Black, or Sean Pedulla.
