George King, the 59th pick in the 2018 NBA Draft selected by the Phoenix Suns, agreed to a two-way contract with the team, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

King, a 6-foot-6 guard from Colorado, shot 40.1-percent from 3-point range during his four-year college career.

He is another addition to a growing list of players with versatility on the wing on the Suns roster.

After suffering an eye injury in a pre-draft workout with the Jazz, King was given orders to wear glasses for the Las Vegas Summer League, which begins on Friday.

King finished second in school history in 3-point percentage and fifth in 3-pointers made.

The Suns begin the summer league on Friday against the Dallas Mavericks. The game can be heard on ESPN 620 AM with tip-off scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
