The Sacramento Kings and guard Jimmer Fredette are finalizing a buyout agreement on his contract, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Fredette, the 10th overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft, will be a free agent should he clear NBA waivers.

The Kings tried to move Fredette before Thursday’s trade deadline, but were unable to find a destination for him. Fredette had been one of college basketball’s most prolific scorers at BYU – scoring 2,599 points in his career – and earning consensus honors as college basketball’s player of the year in 2011.
