Kyle Guy was always a longshot to be a part of the Sacramento Kings rotation in 2019-20, as the team already features talented combo guards Buddy Hield and Bogdan Bogdanovic, along with rookie Justin James making strides.
The Virginia alum is on a two-way contract with Sacramento and has been lighting it up with the Stockton Kings in the G League. Guy dropped a career-high 42 points in Stockton's 113-109 win over the Iowa Wolves on Saturday.

Sacramento has fought through injuries to both De'Aaron Fox and Marvin Bagley to be right in the thick of the playoff chase, but Guy could provide a spark with his elite outside shot when his number is finally called to the NBA.
