(From the FanPosts with an edit: David Johnson is actually from Davis! More on him Thursday. -- TZ)

2008 NBA SUMMER LEAGUE SACRAMENTO KINGS ROSTER
No. / Player / Pos. / Ht./ Wt./ From /Yrs. Pro
8 / Quincy Douby / G / 6-3 / 175 / Rutgers / 2
16 / Zabian Dowdell / G / 6-3 / 190 / Virginia Tech / R
0 / Patrick Ewing Jr. / F / 6-8 / 240 / Georgetown / R
43 / Noel Felix / F / 6-9 / 225 / Fresno State / 1 (SEA, 05-06)
31 / Spencer Hawes / C / 7-0 / 245 / Washington / 1
20 / Justin Hawkins / F / 6-7 / 204 / New Mexico State / R
24 / David Johnson / G / 6-4 / 190 / Davis, Calif. / R
18 / Darnell Jones / G / 6-4 / 210 / Mesa College / R
25 / Marcus Malone / G / 6-5 / 215 / Houston / R
10 / Bo McCalebb / G / 6-0 / 180 / New Orleans / R
41 /Juan Palacios / F / 6-8 /245 / Louisville / R
35 / Patrick Sanders / F / 6-6 / 205 / UC Irvine / R
7 / Sean Singletary / G / 6-0 / 185 / Virginia / R
34 / Jason Thompson / F / 6-11 / 250 / Rider / R
40 / Darian Townes / F-C / 6-10 / 250 / Arkansas / R
30 / Matt Walsh / F / 6-6 / 190/ Florida / R
22 / Shelden Williams / F / 6-9 / 250 / Duke / 2

Little weird without Garcia. Just knew there'd be someone from Louisville, though (Palacios) I thought it might be Padgett. Looks like they're bringing in a couple points to compete with Singletary: Dowdell, Johnson, Jones, and McCalebb. Anybody know anything about these guys? Who is this Townes kid from Arkansas? Lots of unknowns...

I know the kid from Rider :-)

There's a guy from Duke I've heard of too

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. It's simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get tangled, you tango on

Darn

I was hoping they’d have Davon Jefferson from USC on their team.

BOOK IT!

by kingme18 on Jul 2, 2008 8:27 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Trust me...

you do NOT want Duh-von on the Kings. He left USC early because he was flunking out – the same USC that is known for letting its athletes attend Senorita Ross’ ‘classes’.

Shelden Williams?

I like that he’s there. Time to prove himself.

by eduardo_m7 on Jul 2, 2008 8:38 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

I thought

Sheldon Williams was too old for this? I guess because we didn’t draft him it seems like he has been around longer than he has. Wow, his career has flamed out quickly.

Players up to their 3rd season can participate in Summer League

The Cisko kid did so last season.

Heh. They won't give him any minutes.

Thanks TZ

for the “edit”, I was in a hurry but wanted to post it. Guess we’ll quickly see whether or not Ewing Jr. merited the #43rd pick. It’ll be the first time I’ve ever seen him not wearing a Hoya uni…

The Kings messed up Johnson’s place or origination, not you.

Yahoo had him being from St Louis too TZ

There is one from there, but this cat in Kings camp went to Davis High and played at Napa Valley College.

by Ziller on Jul 2, 2008 10:31 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'm so glad you looked this cat up

Cuz the guy from SE Missouri State had my head scratching as to why the Kings would invite him. Clearly your research skills greater in substance than mine. (Not a bad thing in any way. One of many reasons we should be grateful.)

I checked up a little on David Johnson

Nobody has him listed going to Davis, but I’m sure the magic research TZ has will bear out this fact.

I think the single most interesting fact is that so many talented young prospects get the chance to play together at the same time (Douby, Williams, Thompson, Hawes). The rest of the roster is take it or leave it.

Hah

Ewing Drafted 1st by the Harlem Globetrotters. Via the King’s summer league roster link at the top of this article.

It's the Kings Blog on Sacbee Kfan

It’s the same as StR only it belongs to the Bee.

Yeah I know

I should have put “King’s summer league roster” in quotes. I just meant via the link at the top of this page.

Razzing you was too much to pass up. Maybe I should shutup for good.

No actually it wasn't a joke either

I should just go hide under the covers until sunup, but I gotta work till 830 am, so that ain’t gonna happen either. Oui, today is going to be very long. I think telling the yuppies to go fuck themselves is in order tonight. :)

No Dan Dan?

Undrafted , A Sleeper , JOSH DUNCAN

( Burp ) I wish Sacramento would have Invited Josh Duncan Small Forward , College Xavier ( Senior ) to the ( Burp ) Summer League. All the Teams Forgot about Him. I Really Think he should have been Drafted 2 nd Round in the Middle ( Burp ) Somewhere.

Hehe

I like that no one has mentioned being interested to see Sean Singletary play. Here’s hoping the Kings don’t have to sign Darrell Armstrong or something.

by furious.d on Jul 3, 2008 3:51 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

We've got Beno

Worst case Sean doesn’t work out and Cisco and Douby play backup PG.

although

I do not know what our current cap situation is so it may require an artest+k9 deal to happen first to clear some space

Was Hoping

That the Kings would bring in Stefhon Hannah and Tony Lee. Maybe they invited them but they went elsewhere.

He can shoot, and he looks great in a suit. Hey, everybody - It's REGGIE TIME!

Also

No Reggie Williams?
