He scored a career-high 44 points on March 4 against Rio Grande and had 21 double-doubles, including 37 points and 22 assists against Texas on March 6.The 5-foot-11 Stockton was undrafted in 2014 out of Gonzaga. |

Stockton averaged 2.7 points, 3.0 assists, 0.7 rebounds, 0.7 blocks, and 0.3 three-pointers in 11 minutes per game during three regular season games in the 2014-15 season. |
The undrafted rookie point guard was called up to the Kings' roster in late February after playing the majority of the season for the Kings' D-League affiliate, the Reno Bighorns. Stockton averaged 20.1 points, 9.4 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 2.5 steals, 2.3 three-pointers, and 0.1 blocks in 31 minutes during 43 games for the Bighorns. While Stockton only really saw minutes during garbage time for the Kings, the son of NBA legend John Stockton is under team control through the 2015-16 season and could serve as a viable backup for Darren Collison and Ray McCallum next season. |

Stockton is expected to sign a multi-year deal with the Kings before the end of the regular season, Marc Stein of ESPN reports. |
Stockton already spent time in Sacramento on a 10-day contract and apparently was able to impress the franchise during his tryout. Looking ahead, he may be able to work his way into a small role in coach George Karl's rotation next season but he'll likely play second fiddle to both Darren Collison and Ray McCallum. |

Stockton returned to Reno of the NBA's D-League on Wednesday, the Cowbell Kingdom reports. |
During a recent 10-day contract with the Kings, Stockton made one appearance in five games, recording one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, and one assist in seven minutes on Feb. 21 at the Clippers. With the Big Horns, though, he's averaged 16.6 points and 7.9 dimes across 31 contests this season. |

The Kings declined to offer Stockton a second 10-day contract, James Ham of Cowbell Kingdom reports. |
Stockton appeared in only one game while on his first 10-day deal, scoring one point in seven minutes against the Clippers on Feb. 21. He'll likely return to the D-League, where he's played 31 games for Reno averaging 16.6 points and 7.9 assists. |

Stockton scored one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) with two rebounds and one assist in his NBA debut on Saturday against the Clippers. |
Stockton was able to grab some garbage time in the fourth quarter, with the Clippers pushing their lead past 30 points in the final frame. At 5'11, he's a bit undersized by NBA standards and will have a tough time sticking at this level. Stockton is the son of the NBA's all-time assist leader, but is likely to make his way back to the D-League once Darren Collison is healthy. |
