Looking for a 15th player, the Kings will test Isaiah Thomas and Lonnie Walker

Who will get the final spot on the Kings roster? To decide who will join De'Aaron Fox and his teammates, Sacramento to host workouts this week with some well-known names from the NBA scene. Some of them know the house quite well, like Isaiah Thomas.

It should be remembered that Isaiah Thomas was chosen last overall in the 2011 Draft by the Kings, he spent three seasons with the Kings before being traded to the Suns in 2014.

Last year, “IT” had returned to the NBA by signing with the Suns and playing 6 games. The latter aims to match Muggsy Bogues and his 14 seasons in the Big League, so he is chaining the tests as he had done with the Bucks, a little earlier in the summer.

Juan Toscan-Anderson, Lonnie Walker IV also invited

Other players tested by the Kings include Juan Toscano-Anderson, who had a stint with the franchise this season before returning to the G-League with the Capitanes de Mexico. Tony Bradley, who had been tested by the Sixers earlier in the summer, and Lonnie Walker IV, who is coming off a season with the Nets, will also be in the mix to hopefully complete Mike Brown's roster.

For his part, Boogie Ellis, who had played with the Kings in the Summer League, has already earned a spot to participate in the training camp and could compete with players who have already been through the NBA for the last remaining spot on the roster. In five summer league games, the “3&D” accumulated an average of 11.2 points at 51.3% shooting, including 54.5% from behind the arc.
