Dave Joerger Makes Great First Impression In Kings Press Conference
By Rafe Wong
He hasn’t coached any games with the Sacramento Kings yet, but Dave Joerger has Kings fans excited about him leading their team into next season.
Yesterday the Kings set up a press conference to formally introduce Joerger as their coach to the public, and throughout his interview, he definitely made a great impression in the Sacramento community.
Throughout the interview, Joerger mentioned his desire to join the Sacramento franchise once being let go by the Memphis Grizzlies last week and also mentioned how loyalty is significant for him and his new team going forward. Exactly what the Kings and their fans needed to hear.

Impressive and loyalty were the main themes during yesterday’s press conference with Vlade Divac and Dave Joerger, and hopefully, that theme stains with the Kings going into their future.
Excitement has definitely been swirling around the Kings community as of late. The question now is will it last?
