One coming off multiple injuries, and the other coming off a highly-touted high school and college career, two Kings big men finally hit the hardwood for their professional debuts.
After sitting out his first season in the Association, Harry Giles III checked into a regular season game for the first time.
Showered with cheers from the Sacramento crowd, Giles conquered the demons that have plagued his injury-riddled career. Starting at the California Classic, the former top high school prospect impressed throughout the summer and hopes to continue that development as he gets more run.
Marvin Bagley III also made his debut on Tuesday, flashing his scoring ability and, along with Giles, catching the eye of Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert along the way.
