Kings' Georgios Papagiannis: Submits 13 points off bench Tuesday

Papagiannis finished with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 28 minutes in a 98-87 win over the Mavericks on Tuesday.

The Kings have held veteran center Kosta Koufos out for rest in each of the team's last four games, and it's looking like that trend could continue over the final four contests while coach Dave Joerger gets a longer look at Papagiannis, the team's lottery pick from last summer. As such, Papagiannis should benefit from 20-plus minutes in games the rest of the way, but he hasn't quite done enough to warrant intrigue outside of deeper leagues. He's averaged 9.0 points, 4.3 boards, 1.0 assist and 1.0 block in 23.3 minutes per game during those aforementioned last four contests.
