12:32pm: Jeffries has officially been waived, the team tweets.
10:43am: The Kings will waive DaQuan Jeffries, according to James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area. Sacramento will reportedly use the roster spot freed up by waiving Jeffries, though it remains to be seen whom the team might sign, Ham adds.
Jeffries was in his second NBA season with the Kings but struggled to stay on the floor. He missed time to begin the season due to an ankle injury and despite cracking the starting lineup, was not able to remain in the rotation.
All told, Jeffries averaged 3.1 PPG and 1.6 RPG across 17 games for the Kings this season. As Ham notes, the 23-year-old has shown potential as a three-and-D weapon but may need more time in the G League to develop his game.
Ben mclemore to the kings?
Maybe.? But I wish Daquan stayed there he went to my school also
I’m a fan of this guy. Super athletic, can defend on the wing. Plays hard. Can shoot it a little. Positive plus/minus with him on the floor. They added defenders in the trades they made, so his spot is less obvious, but I’m still somewhat surprised to see him let go, due to their issues they’ve had there in general, being last in the league
Woodarg ist the better option than Jeffries. Jeffries is a phisical player but his defense IQ is low. And he don’t create a shot for him or another player.
It’s a good basketball player but NBA is a another field. G!-league or Europe is the future for him
Obviously Woodard is the better player. I’ve been talking about it all year
Wow! The buyout free agent market just blew up! The ripples through the league will be felt for generations to come.
Waive Whiteside …..
We are a bd rebound team, because Whiteside is Dnp. Whitside’s skills are impotent for the kings
