The college sniper was drafted in 2011 by the Kings and bounced around the league before being reborn in China.
He returned for a brief stint with the Phoenix Suns last year and tallied up averages of 3.7 points and 1.3 assists in around 11 minutes per game over six games. If there’s any tread left on those tires, it wouldn’t hurt the wounded champions to take a look!
