Louis King started his first professional season in very unspectacular manner. After a forgettable Summer League performance, he vindicated those with concerns about his maturity dating back to the 2019 NBA Draft. But he ended the season on strong footing with the big club. The transformation was made during his play with the Grand Rapids Drive.
From the first game in G-League, Louis was determined to make sure his performance wouldn’t go unnoticed. His effort was conspicuous on both ends of the floor. The same kid who couldn’t buy a bucket and earn more minutes in the Summer League quickly became a team leader and a frequent go-to guy on a competitive Grand Rapids Drive team.
