Dylan Cardwell News: Gets two-way deal with Sacramento

Cardwell agreed to a two-year, two-way contract Thursday with the Kings following the conclusion of the 2025 NBA Draft, Jonathan Givony of ESPN.com reports.

Though Cardwell didn't hear his name called during the draft, he put himself on the Kings' radar due to his abilities as a finisher and rim protector. As a fifth-year senior at Auburn in 2024-25, the 6-foot-11, 250-pound Cardwell converted at a 70 percent clip from the field while averaging 2.5 offensive rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 20.3 minutes per contest. Cardwell is likely to see most of his playing time with the G League's Stockton Kings during his rookie season.
