Kings new player: I didn t get a chance in the Nuggets, but I m very optimistic about next season

Dario Saric, a veteran inside player who had just joined the Sacramento Kings, recently accepted an interview with local Croatian media, and he also talked about the situation of his new boss, the King in the interview.

Sharich said: I have been to Sacramento, I have completed the physical examination, and I also talked to the team's head coach and general manager, and they all gave me a lot of positive feedback. I hope I can get playing time in both the fourth and fifth positions, and I believe I can also play such a role, and they agree with my ideas. But you can never tell what will happen in reality. At this time last year, I thought I would get a lot of playing time in the Denver Nuggets, but I kept sitting on the bench and almost couldn't get a chance to play. Anyway, I am very firm now, I am very optimistic about my situation, I have a lot of motivation to welcome the new season, and I believe I have the ability to gain a foothold in the Kings and perform well.

Sharic's performance last season was a terrible sight. In the NBA regular season last season, Sharic made a total of 16 appearances in 82 games, averaging 13.1 minutes per game, averaging 3.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 36.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 26.9%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 70%. Because his performance was really bad, Sharic's playing time continued to decrease, and in the end he could not get any chance to play. In the playoffs, although the Nuggets played two full rounds of the series, Sharic did not even get any chance to play and could only sit on the bench for a long time.

In a previous deal, the King traded Jonas Valanciunas to the Nuggets and obtained Sharić from the Nuggets. The purpose of the King's deal is relatively clear. Considering that Valanciunas doesn't have much playing time and the effect is relatively average, and the salary is relatively high, they chose Sharichi, who has a lower salary. With Sharic's performance last season, everyone should be very worried about his prospects for the Kings. However, Sharic is also a veteran who is experienced and has achieved some success in the NBA. Maybe he can also adjust his status as his role changes after joining the new club. Next, we can also see what kind of performance Sharić can perform after joining the Kings, and can he find his due level?
