SACRAMENTO–On the podcast tonight Charlie O talks about the Sacramento Kings in the pre season as they prepare to play their second pre season game on Thursday night at Sleep Train Arena. It is extremely important for the Kings this year because of all the coaching changes last year. They had three different head coaches, they had three different systems.

Head coach George Karl was with them for 30 games at the end of the season he wasn’t really able to fully implement the dribble drive offense he likes to utilize with inside-outside shooting with lots of outside shooting. Those are things that really take time to develop.

This pre season games and the training camp before the start of the regular season are phenomenally important to the Kings. This is where this team is going to become George Karl’s team. The other thing that’s a part of that too is there has been a tremendous turn in the roster.

You have a number of new players into the system and everybody is going to have to jell because their not going to be as familiar with each other. Even though the pre season is always important to get ready for a season. For the Kings this year it is probably doubly important because they have so many things they have to bring together before the regular season.
