Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
King is a high-level shot-maker that can spray shots from anywhere on the court and has a flamethrower from beyond the arc, as he put down one of the best performances of the day in a tough opening game loss to Legacy Christian Academy. The 6-foot-2 lead guard keeps the dribble alive to survey the defense, uses the crossover, the behind the back cross, and ball screens to get going downhill, gets into the paint routinely where he has the strength to muscle through tough lay-ups or contested shots from close range, has nice touch on the floater down the lane, and has a smooth mid-range jumper with the body control to take and score through contact. King moves fluidly off the ball to get to his shot spots, is nearly automatic with the 3-ball off the catch or the dribble, uses the pump-fake to get defenders to over-purse on the close out, where King is able to attack the core of the defense. He has good court vision and makes good decisions with the ball in his hands, plays with good pace and feel, and never looks rattled on the court. King is a pesky on-ball defender that looks to turn defense to offense routinely. Really impressive outing with 38 points and connecting on 8 threes, where he had the second highest scoring output of the day.
