Seth Curry is coming off a summer league performance where he dominated, leading the league in points per game with 24.3 in six games. Curry was a member of the New Orleans Pelicans summer league team so many had presumed he would likely latch on with them when the season began, but the Sacramento Kings have reportedly swooped in and signed Curry to a deal, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.com.

The contract is not yet official, as the two sides are on the verge of finalizing the deal, but the reported deal is worth just less than $2 million over two years. The move by the Kings to come in was an unexpected one, but they were able to scoop up Curry because they offered him a fully guaranteed contract over two years with a player option for year two, according to NOLA.com. If Curry has a great year in Sacramento next season he could opt out and hit the market again next offseason to potentially make more money.

Curry went undrafted after graduating from Duke in 2013 and since has bounced around between the D-League, where he has dominated, and has been waived by four different NBA teams. Finally this summer Curry was able to open up enough eyes to get a guaranteed deal and may be able to find a spot in the Kings' rotation. Ben McLemore is set to be the starter at shooting guard for the Kings with Marco Belinelli as the backup, but Curry might be able to push him for some minutes.

One thing Curry has always been able to do on a basketball court is score, whether it be college, the D-League or the summer league. He is known as a jump shooter, but Curry's low three-point percentage in the summer league might have actually given him a boost in the eyes of NBA teams. Curry shot just 22 percent from three in the six summer league games but shot 46 percent overall, which shows that he has improved on his game and has found more ways to score than just shooting long-range jumpers, which is something NBA teams definitely want to see.

Curry will turn 25 at the end of August, which means he still has plenty of time to make a name for himself as an NBA player. Curry will certainly have to fight for playing time next season, but after fighting for so long to make an NBA roster, that is likely something he is more than willing to do.

Curry, of course, is the younger brother of reigning MVP Stephen Curry, who tweeted out his excitement over Seth's reported deal with the Kings.
