Kings take Greek center Papagiannis after trading down (The Associated Press)

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Sacramento general manager Vlade Divac had a busy draft night Thursday, trading the rights to eighth pick Marquese Chriss and backup guard Marco Belinelli in two separate deals that gave the rebuilding Kings three first-round picks.

The Kings got the 13th and 28th picks, along with a future second-round pick and the rights to Serbian guard Bogdan Bogdanovic in the deal that sent Chriss' rights to the Phoenix Suns, a person familiar with the deal said on condition of anonymity because the trade had not been announced.

Sacramento took 18-year-old Greek center Georgios Papagiannis with the 13th pick.
