Kings select Jahmi'us Ramsey with No. 43 pick
With the No. 43 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Sacramento Kings selected Texas Tech shooting guard Jahmi'us Ramsey.
The Arlington native enjoyed a big freshman campaign with the Red Raiders, putting up 15 points, four rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game, and he connected on 42.6% of his shots from beyond the arc. His play earned him All-Big 12 second-team and conference Rookie of the Year honors.
However, Ramsey can be a bit feast or famine on the offensive end. He tallied fewer than 10 points in six games last season - including going 0-of-8 from the floor at Oklahoma in February. He also eclipsed 20 points on seven occasions, including a 26-point outing at Kansas during which he shot just 3-of-13 from deep. He profiles as a depth scoring option.
