Keon Ellis

Bad start for Keon - a couple turnovers. But overall, he played OK (C-). He was active on D as usual.

.... Yeah actually I do have a question. Do the Kings have to cut someone from the roster to give him a full-time gig? I know there's a limit to how many games he can play on a two-way. And I definitely want to see this kid hanging around.

According to hoopsrumors.com a 2 way player is eligible to play in 50 games a year on the big league club, provided the team has 15 players on the main roster.

Which is good news since the Kings will have until roughly the February trade deadline to either trade (i.e. 2 for 1 trade, etc) or waive someone so they can convert Keon to a big league contract.
