Two members of the Sacramento Kings organization have been recognized for their exceptional performances in the NBA G League during the 2025-26 season. DaQuan Jeffries and Killian Hayes both earned spots on the All-NBA G League Teams, highlighting their development and production at the minor league level.
Jeffries, who appeared in 28 regular-season games with the Stockton Kings, Sacramento's G League affiliate, led the team in scoring with 23.5 points per game. The versatile wing shot an efficient 51.5% from the field and an impressive 43.6% from three-point range on 7.8 attempts per game. His scoring efficiency placed him among elite company, as he was one of only four players to average 20+ points while shooting above 50% from the field and 40% from beyond the arc.
Thanks to his outstanding production and Stockton's team success, Jeffries was named to the 2025-26 All-NBA G League First Team. He joined Tristan Enaruna (Cleveland), Zhaire Smith (Oklahoma City), and Charles Bassey (Santa Cruz) as the four players achieving the rare 20/50/40 statistical benchmark, with Jeffries leading the group in scoring output.
The First Team also included Isaac Jones (Motor City), who began his career with Sacramento before being waived to create roster space for Precious Achiuwa, along with Mac McClung (Windy City), Tristen Newton (Rio Grande Valley), and Lester Quinones (Osceola).
Hayes, who signed with the Kings in late February, earned recognition on the All-NBA G League Second Team for his performance with the Cleveland Charge. The former lottery pick appeared in 19 games with Cleveland before his NBA promotion, averaging 22.4 points, 8.5 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game while playing 32.9 minutes per contest.
Other members of the Second Team included Kobe Bufkin (South Bay), A.J. Lawson (Raptors), Jahmir Young (Sioux Falls), and Drew Timme (South Bay). Timme previously spent several seasons playing for Stockton before moving to the South Bay organization.
The All-NBA G League Third Team featured RayJ Dennis (College Park), PJ Hall (Greensboro), Ron Harper Jr. (Maine), Alijah Matin (Raptors), and Daishen Nix (Rio Grande Valley), with no Stockton representation.
Jeffries recently earned a 10-day contract with the Sacramento Kings, appearing in 60 minutes over three games and recording 31 points on 11/19 shooting before returning to Stockton for their postseason run. The 28-year-old is currently helping Stockton defend their G League title from last season, with the team advancing through the single elimination portion of the playoffs and set to face the Greensboro Swarm in a best-of-three championship series.
Hayes has established himself as a regular in Sacramento's rotation since joining the team nearly two months ago. In 20 NBA games, the guard has averaged 4.7 points, 3.6 assists, and 2.4 rebounds. Sacramento head coach Doug Christie has frequently praised Hayes' traditional point guard style and defensive impact, while acknowledging his ongoing shooting struggles at the NBA level where he's converting just 28.9% from the field.
Sacramento general manager Scott Perry initially signed Hayes to consecutive 10-day contracts before securing him to a two-year deal with a reported team option for the 2026-27 season. Both Hayes and Jeffries could potentially compete for roster spots during next season's training camp as Perry faces numerous roster decisions this offseason.
The recognition marks significant achievement for both players, with Jeffries demonstrating his scoring efficiency and Hayes showcasing his playmaking abilities during their G League tenures. Their development continues to be monitored closely as the Kings organization evaluates its depth chart heading into the offseason.
