Keon Ellis on the Kings potential, his defense, DeMar DeRozan & toughest to guard in NBA

Keon Ellis on the Kings potential, his defense, DeMar DeRozan & toughest to guard in NBA

We’re super excited to share our hour long conversation with Sacramento Kings guard Keon Ellis.

He took the time to come by the studio on Saturday morning to reflect on his journey to the NBA, why he loves defense, the toughest players go guard in the league and the Kings potential in the West with the addition of DeMar DeRozan.

I hope you all enjoy it.
