No respected prognosticator expects these Kings to make a deep postseason run, but that doesn’t mean Galen Duncan won’t feel like a champion by the end of the season.
If the Kings’ young players make strides personally and conduct themselves well away from the game, “that’s my ring,” said Duncan, who was announced Thursday as the team’s new vice president of the Kings Academy and professional development.
The Kings will have five rookies on the roster and 10 who have played three or less NBA seasons. Duncan will direct the program that aims to help players manage personal responsibilities that come with transitioning to the NBA.
