Strengths:
King is a highly talented perimeter forward and potential big wing loaded with upside. He's a late bloomer whose grown four inches in the last two years and now has great size and length on the perimeter. He runs the floor well, is smooth for his size and has the natural tools to have a polished skill set down the road. He makes quick instinct plays with the ball and shows some flashes of sheer brilliance. There will be moments where he'll handle in traffic, knock down a three with a quick release, throw pinpoint passes the length of the floor and spin into tough mid-range pull-ups.
Weaknesses:
He's still evolving at a rapid rate and just a work in progress. He's a good, not truly great, athlete and will need to determine whether he's a face-four or true big wing in the coming years. For all of his tools and emerging talent, consistency has not yet been his ally. He needs to continue to work on all aspects of his game, learn how to have an efficient impact on the game, strengthen his body and also learn to sustain maximum effort at all times.
Bottom Line:
There simply aren't many guys who can combine his size, length and potential for versatile playmaking and so while he's still very much a work in progress his ceiling is very high if he learns to put all the pieces together on a consistent basis.
