The Canadian joins fellow countryman Nik Stauskas on the Kings' roster after the two played together on Sacramento's Las Vegas Summer League team. Bhullar appeared sparingly in four games, averaging 0.5 points and 0.5 rebounds in 2.5 minutes.
Bhullar had much more of an impact in two seasons at New Mexico State, where he averaged 10.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks in 65 games.
If he lands on the Kings' 2014-15 roster, he'll likely earn the league minimum salary of $507,366.
