Kings sign fourth development player

The Sydney Kings have completed their NBL24 roster by signing Sydney product Jasper Rentoy as a development player.

Rentoy will replace Jaylen Adams in the Kings' squad for Monday night's game against the South East Melbourne Phoenix. 

The 23-year-old guard, who most recently played with the Eastern Mavericks, becomes the Kings' fourth development player for the 2023-24 campaign, alongside Jackson Makoi, Klairus Amir and Isaac Gattorna.

"Signing as a development player with the Sydney Kings is an absolute dream come true," Rentoy told the club's website. 

"Growing up, I went to all the Kings games and camps, so now being a part of them now, it’s definitely come full circle.

"I’ve always had goals to make it to the NBL, but never would I have thought that I’d get the honour to wear the purple and gold and represent my home.

"Born and raised in Western Sydney, I know it truly means a lot to them, my family and the Filipino community.

"I am very thankful to the Sydney Kings for this opportunity, words can’t explain how much it means to me."

The point guard, who started his hoops journey with the Penrith Panthers, believes the harbour city club is the best place for him at this stage of his career.

"At this stage of my career, there is no better place to be than a part of the Kings organisation," said Rentoy, who believes he can bring many attributes to the club including passing ability, quickness, work ethic and energy.
