The Deseret news just ran an AP article about him:

Though the Kings believe the 6-foot-2 Fredette will work well in a backcourt with Evans and Thornton, the rotation is still unclear. The 6-foot-6 Evans has the ability to match up with bigger guards defensively, easing the load on Fredette, but Thornton's scoring ability might trump them all.

...

Kings coach Paul Westphal expects Fredette's game to mesh well with so many talented ballhandlers on the roster, taking some pressure and responsibilities away from the rookie. Fredette is likely to come off the bench and backup Evans at point guard — while also playing on the floor together, at times — early in the season until Fredette finds his footing.

He signed his contract. Details aren't out, but it looks like it's a multi year deal with 2 million this season, 2.3 next season and the Kings have the option to retain him or cut him loose his 3rd and 4th seasons. Not a bad deal at all.

Max rookie contracts are controlled by the CBA and draft order in the 1st round. Most teams just sign theirs to the max allowable.
