Former Folsom High basketball star Jordan Ford acquired by Stockton Kings
Jordan Ford is coming home, or pretty darn close.
The Folsom High School graduate on Wednesday was acquired by the Stockton Kings, the NBA G League affiliate of the Sacramento Kings. The point guard who starred at Saint Mary’s College during a record-setting career was picked up from the Ontario Clippers in exchange for the returning player rights to Sheldon Mac and a second-round pick in the 2023 G League Draft.
Ford played in 46 games with the G League Ontario Clippers the previous two seasons, averaging 11.2 points and 3.5 assists. He was a two-time Sacramento Bee Player of the Year at Folsom and a four-year All-Metro performer. He was The Bee’s Player of the Decade for the 2010s.
The 6-foot-1 Ford, known for his instincts and playmaking, started his final 68 games at Saint Mary’s from 2018-20, averaging 21.5 points, 2.9 rebounds 2.4 assists and 2.0 blocks. He is the only Saint Mary’s player to record two 700-point scoring seasons and his 1,929 career points are the second-most in program history.
