Final Thoughts On Nemanja’s First Year In Sacramento

Most likely, Nemanja Bjelica will not be an NBA All-Star when his career is said and done. But that does not take away the fact that he has been a dependable asset for the Sacramento Kings. Or at least in the lone season he has been with the organization.

Bjelica will probably never make the highlight reel on ESPN, but what he does give a team is reliable minutes of basketball on a nightly basis. Nothing fancy. Just an all-around utility guy.

The Kings were longing for a player with versatility who can play multiple positions, and they got that with the addition of Bjelica. Going forward, the Kings need more players like Bjelica who are versatile, reliable, and overall unselfish and willing to do what is best for the team.

The first year of Nemanja Bjelica was a blast to watch for the Kings and their fans. Hopefully, that trend continues onto his second season.
