Rawle Alkins spent two seasons as a small forward at Arizona but he isnβt marketing himself as one for the NBA.
He says heβs much more flexible than that.
βIβm telling you thereβs no positions,β Alkins said during a post-workout interviewΒ in Sacramento, when asked where he would play in the NBA. βItβs funny β a scout I was talking to at the Combine said I was on his βAll-Jackβ team. At first I didnβt know what that meant. He explained to me it was all jack of all trades. Thatβs something I value. Itβs nice to see when people value you the way you value yourself.β
Alkins said the teams heβs spoken with βlove the fact that Iβm labeled as positionlessβ because they can put him wherever needed.
βThe NBA is a fast-paced game,β Alkins said in the interview posted to the Kings' Twitter page. βIf you look at playoff basketball right now β the Houston Rockets and Warriors β thereβs no centers, no really positions on the court. Itβs just fast-paced basketball.β
Alkins is reportedly scheduled to work outΒ for the SunsΒ 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.
