NBA training camps are set to open up in just under three weeks.

As we inch closer to the Sacramento Kings’ opening of camp at Golden 1 Center, Chris and Frankie were joined by The Kings Herald’s Brenden Nunes to discuss the play of centers Domantas Sabonis (Lithuania) and Alex Len (Ukraine) during EuroBasket play.

Also: Bulgarian forward Sasha Vezenkov was one of the brightest stars during EuroBasket’s group stage. Can the 27-year-old translate his game over to the NBA in a Kings jersey next season?

Other topics discussed:

  • Which players impressed you the most during EuroBasket play?
  • Can Sasha Vezenkov make an impact at the NBA level?
  • Does Domantas Sabonis’ play concern you at all? Or was he impacted by sharing the floor with fellow NBA center Jonas Valančiūnas?
  • If the NBA adds teams in Seattle and Las Vegas, which 8 players are you protecting in an expansion draft?
  • When you look at this Kings roster, what is your ideal starting lineup?
  • Kings are down by 2 with 3 minutes left. What is your preferred closing lineup?


The Return of the Roar podcast is a Sacramento Kings podcast hosted by Kings beat writer Frankie Cartoscelli and digital content producer Chris Watkins for Sactown Sports 1140.
