Eric Moreland became a Kings-fanatic-only household name after an impressive summer league two seasons ago. His hustle, rebounding, and shot blocking ability played a key role in the Kings’ Vegas Summer League Championship, and his play was rewarded with a universally praised guaranteed contract.
Unfortunately for Moreland and the Kings, his rookie season was cut short due to a labral tear in his left shoulder that would eventually require surgery. With how last season ended, you’d think Moreland would have picked up a decent amount of minutes if he were healthy. It was a tough break for a young player without any contract guarantees for his second year.
