Sacramento Kings Guard Keon Ellis Talks About His First NBA Summer League With Jason Ross

Since joining the Sacramento Kings as an undrafted free agent last month, Keon Ellis is turning into a fan favorite among those that are taking in the team’s NBA Summer League games in Las Vegas.

Ellis, a member of the SEC’s All-Defense team last season at Alabama, has displayed non-stop hustle, defensive tenacity, and the ability to knock down looks on the perimeter during five appearances for the Kings this summer, was signed to a two-way contract for the upcoming 2022-23 season shortly following June 23rd’s draft.

During Tuesday morning’s edition of The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross, the guys aired Jason’s sit-down with Ellis as the two discussed a variety of topics that included:

• Ellis describes how meaningful it is to get a shot with the Kings
• What is Ellis trying to establish during Summer League?
• Ellis talks about what it was like to grow up in a very athletic family and how he came to the decision to fully commit to basketball
• The road to the NBA: Ellis shares his path to becoming a member of the Sacramento Kings
• Which aspects of Ellis’ game is he working on most during Summer League?

Listen to The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross from 6:00 am-9:00 am PST, Monday through Friday right here on Sactown Sports 1140.
