The Sacramento Kings have waived guard David Stockton. The Kings were carrying 16 players and needed to reduce the roster to 15 before October 28th.

Charlie O and Lee Leonard predicted that Stockton would be “the odd man out” on the Kings Weekly Podcast on Sportsradioservice.com. The Kings have depth at the guard position and there was not room for an extra point guard.

Stockton played for the Kings D-League team in Reno for most of the 2014-15 season. He was signed by the Kings to a 10-day contract and then to a contract for the 2015-16 season.

By waiving Stockton now, he has been given a better chance to be signed by another NBA team before the beginning of the season next week.
