The Sacramento Kings opened a new building and a new season with Monday’s media day. The first practice was this morning. Here are the interesting stories and tidbits I discovered from the start of a new season with my takes on those findings.
George Papagiannis?
Below is a tweet from James Ham, a Kings Insider for CSN California, showing Georgios Papagiannis with the American spelling of his name.

Apparently, we will only have to try to pronounce one difficult name this preseason instead of two for Mister Papagiannis.
