The Sacramento Kings have added more size to their training camp roster, signing former Purdue star Vincent Edwards to an Exhibit 10 contract, per reports from Jason Jones of the Athletic and Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee.
The Kings have agreed to a deal with free agent forward Vince Edwards, a source tells @ TheAthleticNBA. Edwards will compete for a roster spot in training camp.

Adding to this: Sources confirm the Kings have signed Vince Edwards to an Exhibit 10 contract. Edwards is 24 years old. He's a 6-8/225 small forward from Purdue. Averaged 11 points and 5.3 rebounds in the G League in 2019-20. https://t.co/gdi5APnwEd

Edwards was drafted with the 52nd pick in the 2018 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets, and has primarily spent the last two years in the G-League. He played in 38 games with the Oklahoma City Blues squad last season, and averaged 9.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 45.9% shooting per contest. He averaged 5 three point attempts per contest, sinking 37.9% of them; a promising mark, given the Kings omnipresent need for shooting from the forward spots.
Edwards was a four year starter at Purdue, and averaged 14.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 39.8% shooting from distance in his senior year in West Lafayette.
An Exhibit 10 contract is a one-year, non-guaranteed minimum contract, but the Kings could convert that deal to a two-way deal or even guarantee the contract outright if Edwards impresses in camp.
Is Meh better than nothing?
Chimezie Mehtu?
Umm… ok??
Ya… so to whoever felt the need to downvote my comment… I didn’t say it was bad. I didn’t say it was good either. All I said was “ok.” How the F do you downvote “ok?”
I don’t feel that this signing means a thing. The dude will likely be around for camp, and that’s about it. Or… maybe he makes the most of the opportunity. Either way… “OK”
There’s a handful here that downvote just to downvote and stir the pot I suppose?
OK hear me out. Aneel has a login on TKH.
Uh, you are not really adding any substance to the thread by saying “umm..ok”.
Maybe that is why you got downvoted and why your defense of “um okay” got downvoted too lol
And in case you haven’t notice guys like to “bust balls” because that is what guys do and the more you seek so up votes and complain about your down votes the more guys are going to give you what you are complaining about not wanting or deserving…
Are guys great?!
If you want some up votes stop begging for them , I would give you a up vote just give you a break but I already donwovted you and the page won’t let me change it lol
Okay there gave you a thumbs up, enjoy
Umm..ok??
Nothing wrong with this signing. Exhibit 10 to see what the guy has to offer.
Sounds like McNair has some info on this guy if he was a Houston 2nd round pick a few years back.
I’m seeing a trend…
This is the type of FA signing I was expecting from MMc. Taking flyers on guys that may end up being legitimate NBA role/bench players. Find value (assets) without having to give anything up for it.
They did that with Danuel House.
So Monte wants a Rockets 2.0 here in Sacramento. Can’t argue with that especially with how successful Houston was in the last 5 years. Shooting + defense will never go out of style.
But can he play ____
