New York Knicks reporter for SNY Ian Begley joins the Drive Guys to talk about the new additions to the Kings coaching staff, Scott Perry and his past with the Knicks, and what Doug Christie can do this upcoming season.

With Perry having worked in the Knicks front office for years, Begley got the chance to know the Sacramento Kings’ new general manager a bit over the years.

Given that, he provided some context on Perry’s perceived strengths and what he could bring to California’s capital as they desperately try to form an identity with the goal of building sustainable success.
