Zagoria talked to King's AAU coach, Aaron Burt, about King and what he brings to the table. He had some high praise and compared him to an all-time great NBA player.
"He has an unique ability to be a team's best defender, best facilitator or best scorer. His versatility and skill set is of a Scottie Pippen-type. He loves to compete and wants to be great.
