The Sacramento Kings have trended downward in recent seasons, but their G League team in Stockton has reached consecutive NBA G League Finals, winning one of the two.

Success at that level often means promotions for people in positions of power and high turnover. Now, Saagar Sarin will function as the new general manager of the Stockton Kings, the team announced on Monday.

The following is from the Stockton Kings Public Relations:

Sarin, 31, currently serves as Senior Director of Pro Personnel for the Sacramento Kings, contributing to scouting efforts across different levels of the organization. He brings nearly a decade of NBA experience to Stockton having spent time with the Minnesota Timberwolves as Personnel Scouting Coordinator (2019-21) where he helped with the selections of Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels. The Palo Alto, Calif. native began his NBA career with the Houston Rockets (2016-19), including two years as a Video Coordinator. He will continue to also serve Sacramento as the Senior Director of Pro Personnel.
