Guy can shoot lights out and is a willing passer with high BBIQ. He will have to put on more muscle to hold up on the defensive end.

Are you telling me the Kings now have Buddy, Guy on the same team?!?! My love of South Park and the Kings is almost complete. We only need to have someone named Friend on the team and I'll blow a gasket!

I really like this Guy! 
He could develop into a Fred VanVleet type backup point guard.

Ehh best case scenario is maybe like a Seth Curry. Vann Vleet is built like a mack truck. Guy was the lightest player at the NBA combine.I really like this Guy!

Hardcore UVa fan here. You will absolutely love this kid. If he were 6’5 he would have been a 1st round pick last year.
He’s clutch, will work his tail off, and will be one of the best locker room influences you could ask for. He plays with a chip but has found a way to turn that into a positive thing.

For Kyle Guy to make it in the NBA, it really hinges on him developing his point guard skills.
He was used mainly as a shooting guard in college, but he showed a lot of grit in his game. He was pretty savvy player in the tournament. He looks like he has the ability to run the point, but he really needs to hone those skills if he wants to make it in the NBA.

Guy was one of the players on my wanted list. He's an out of his mind shooter. He made more contested three's last year than any other player I watched. He just an unconscious shooter. As I stated above, he reminds me a lot of Lou Williams. Leave him open at your peril. However, he isn't a true PG as far as creativity goes, but if on the floor with a player like Ty Jerome, (his teammate) 6'6" who can handle and create, it works! Let me see, do the Kings have anyone that comes off the bench who fits that scenario? Oh yeah, Bogdanovic....
Guy plays off the ball extremely well, and don't be fooled by his size. He's a tough kid whose not afraid to go up against the big boys. Defensively, if asked to guard PG's, I think he's fine. He's not Patrick Beverly, but he'll certainly give you maximum effort defensively. For the 55th pick, the Kings may have gotten themselves a steal.

Well, if Guy ends up being as good as Kerr, then I'm happy. Kerr holds the record for career 3pt shooting percentage at 45.4%. That would work for me. However, Kerr did have some PG skills even though he played off the ball a lot. If you watched Guy play at Virginia, and watched Williams play, there's a lot of similarity to their games.

Just as long as he's not a Jimmer.
In the interview Vlade said one reason they brought him out for a 2nd workout was because they were all amazed by how many shots he made in his first workout. Vlade wanted to see if he was just “lucky.” Came back a 2nd time for his last and final 13th? workout. He shot amazingly again.

I would be absolutely fine if he is coz he is the 55th pick
I'm actually somewhat excited about the Guy pick. The Guy can flat out shoot and he's not afraid to take/make big shots.
Sure just about every other aspect of his game/body/athleticism is sub-par at the NBA level........however never has 3-point shooting been more important in the NBA. If he can hit a high percentage of his shots while not being an embarrassment on defense....he will easily find a niche in the league.

that's dirty bulking, not worth it. Just hit the weights a lot and be consistent.

We're fans of a team that once started Mike Bibby for a half a decade and considers Jim Les as a "franchise legend" so I think we'd be used to having a sub-par athlete with mediocre shot creator skills but lights out shooting as a point guard.
True but Bibby was just flat out bigger and more athletic than Guy is now. Bibby had better handles and was thought of as a true PG coming out of Arizona. Granted as we know now, Bibby was a much better shot maker than shot creator. It would be a miracle if Guy ever became a starting Calibur player in the NBA.

No arguments there. Interestingly enough, Guy is listed as being taller and heavier than Bibby was coming into the league. But Bibby was a borderline all-star type and I don't anticipate Guy getting there. I do think there is definitely a role that he could thrive in here, though, especially with Bogi and Giles as shot creators next to him.

At the combine he had the 3rd best time in the agility drill & had a 36.5 vertical.

Did he break Quincy Douby’s shooting record in a pre-draft workout?
