Final Thoughts

The Sacramento Kings used a lottery pick on Georgios Papagiannis and clearly think he is a piece of their future.  Papagiannis showed flashes this season and earned himself a C grade as a raw talented rookie.  The question is will Papagiannis mold that raw talent into something more?

That is probably one of the things I am most looking forward to witnessing the next time the Sacramento Kings take the court.  I know I have a while to wait, but that just gives Papagiannis extra time to work on his game.  Stay tuned to see Big George’s improvements.
