Rooney: Long road the correct one in George King's basketball journey

A word of caution to my media colleagues in Phoenix.

George King always is an accommodating interview. But getting those quotes will require patience.

Since he arrived in Boulder five years ago this summer, rare has been the occasion King wasn't the last Buffaloes player off the floor after practice. For King, the day was never done until his post-practice shooting routine was complete. A set from the top of the 3-point arc. Another from the wing and then the baseline. A series of free throws and then do it all over again.

Drafted No. 59 overall, the next-to-last selection in the 2018 NBA draft, by the Phoenix Suns, King may or may not make his mark at the next level.
