Kings sign Sharp to add elite shooting

Sacramento Kings moved quickly to secure second‑round selection Emanuel Sharp, agreeing to a three‑year, $6.35‑million deal with the Houston sharpshooter, according to HoopsHype. The contract includes two fully guaranteed seasons, an uncommon level of stability for a mid‑second‑round pick. Sharp, chosen forty‑fifth overall, arrives after four productive years at Houston, where he became one of college basketball’s most reliable perimeter scorers.

In 2025‑26, he averaged 15.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists while shooting 37.2% from deep and 89.1% at the line. His junior season showcased peak efficiency, hitting 40.7% from three and making eighty‑seven triples. Across four NCAA campaigns, he converted 309 threes at 37.6% and posted an 87.1% free‑throw mark.

Sacramento, coming off a 22‑60 season, is banking on Sharp’s volume shooting translating to the NBA. Over sixty‑one percent of his attempts last season came from beyond the arc, underscoring the Kings’ belief in his perimeter impact.
