2016 NBA Draft: Sacramento Kings select Georgios Papagiannis with the 13th pick

The Sacramento Kings have finally made a draft pick after a flurry of trades and selected ... Georgios Papagiannis out of Greece. No, I wasn't expecting that either.

The Kings picked the 7'2, 18 year old center with higher rated prospects like Wade Baldwin still on the board. The Kings must have really liked Papagiannis and didn't want to risk someone else taking him by the 22nd pick.

It's unclear where Papagiannis fits on a roster that already has DeMarcus Cousins, Willie Cauley-Stein and his countryman, Kosta Koufos. I'm not going to lie to you, I don't know much about Papagiannis as a prospect, having seen very little of him play.
