The Sacramento Kings are bringing in brash, immature and undersized shooting guard Marshall Henderson for training camp.

Henderson averaged 17.2 points a game while shooting 34.4% from the three point area in college.

Howwever, according to SB Nation, he scared teams away because of his attitude and off the court problems and was left untouched in the 2014 Draft.

Henderson was described oncourt as "cocky" and "in your face" and had problems with drugs and alcohol offcourt.

NESN reported that Henderson was suspended for the first three games of his senior season due to a failed drug test in 2013. 

However, aside from his attitude, Henderson's shot selection is questionable and at  just 6'2,  is pretty undersized for an NBA shooting guard.

He could not also be utilized at point guard where his height is more suited because he  hasn't displayed the passing instincts needed for the job. Henderson dished out an average of  just 1.6 assists per game in three collegiate years.

With Seth Curry, Darren Collison and David Stockton jockying for reserve minutes at guard, the cards are stacked against Henderson.

The former University of Mississippi guard ended playing overseas last year in places like Iraq, Qatar and Italy.

Henderson, who last played for Nift Al-Janoub in Iraq's Division I Basketball League, was said to be more thoughtful and remorseful about his behavior nowadays, realizing it may cost him an NBA career.

However, his Twitter "revenge" against FOX Sports reporter Erin Andrews last April doesn't indicate that to be so.

Andrews mentioned  two years ago that Henderson's suspension was related to drugs, by which the latter swore to get back at the  reporter.

When Andrews' boyfriend, Los Angeles Kings center Jarret Stoll, was arrested in Las Vegas for drug possession two years after, Henderson didn't waste to get back at Andrews.
