Mistaken for other rising stars, can Zach Auguste make a name for himself with Kings?

Zach Auguste has yet to make a name for himself in the NBA, but fans are already stopping him for pictures.

It’s usually not because someone remembers him as a standout at Notre Dame.

“I can’t tell you how many times (I’m confused with) Ben Simmons or Kyle Kuzma,” Auguste said. “I’ll walk into anywhere and they’ll be like, ‘Can I take a picture with you, Kyle Kuzma? And I’ll be like nah.’ Only a few, if they watched me in college, they know who I am.”

Auguste has done a good job of distinguishing himself as a forward-center with the Kings in summer league.
