Underrated Talent

Last but by no means least is the fact that Alonzo Gee is actually a very useful NBA player. With such frequent movement over the last couple of months, Gee’s value has arguably never been lower, but that wouldn’t have stopped him from contributing. The former Alabama man is an excellent athlete, and that should never be underestimated.

Gee has the potential to be explosive offensively, as he’s completely unafraid of cutting towards the basket and trying to finish with aggression. On top of that, he’s also a capable passer, a willing rebounder and someone who’s quick hands make him a constant steals threat. Alonzo Gee is by no means an elite guy who is going to push a team over the edge, but with the current shape of this Kings’ team he could have been a real difference maker.
