Kings Sign UDFA Isaiah Crawford to Two-Way Deal

Crawford, 22, is a 6-foot-6 forward with a 7-foot wingspan. The senior averaged 16.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.1 steals, and 1.7 blocks per game with 48.5/41.4/72.8 shooting splits. The all-around wing has a nice touch around the rim with impressive footwork, but his improved outside shot gives him some versatility.

Crawford lacks as a playmaker and shot creator, but a good amount of his shot attempts come in the post. His length and athleticism make him a versatile defender, and his 3.8 stocks per game as a senior was there to show for it. Crawford earned Conference USA Player and Defensive Player of the Year last season.

Since the Kings did not make a selection in the second round, taking a chance on Crawford with one of their two-way contract spots is not much of a risk. The versatile forward tore the ACL in the same knee twice in college, so he could eventually be an effective piece if he stays healthy.
