Rawle Alkins spent two seasons as a small forward at Arizona but he isnโt marketing himself as one for the NBA.
He says heโs much more flexible than that.
โIโm telling you thereโs no positions,โ Alkins said during a post-workout interviewย in Sacramento, when asked where he would play in the NBA. โItโs funny โ a scout I was talking to at the Combine said I was on his โAll-Jackโ team. At first I didnโt know what that meant. He explained to me it was all jack of all trades. Thatโs something I value. Itโs nice to see when people value you the way you value yourself.โ
Alkins said the teams heโs spoken with โlove the fact that Iโm labeled as positionlessโ because they can put him wherever needed.
โThe NBA is a fast-paced game,โ Alkins said in the interview posted to the Kings' Twitter page. โIf you look at playoff basketball right now โ the Houston Rockets and Warriors โ thereโs no centers, no really positions on the court. Itโs just fast-paced basketball.โ
Alkins is reportedly scheduled to work outย for the Sunsย next week (the Suns typically don't announce workout participants until an hour beforehand).
The Kings, meanwhile, will also take a look at Dusan Ristic on Friday and Allonzo Trier on May 31. Trier is scheduled to work out for Minnesota on Friday.
