The father of Kings rookie Marvin Bagley III launched a public defense on social media Thursday after his son’s name came up in FBI wiretaps in federal court.

Federal prosecutors reportedly played hours of video wiretaps as part of the ongoing college basketball corruption trial in New York. Matt Norlander, a senior writer for CBS Sports, tweeted that an assistant coach and an aspiring sports agent discussed a payment scheme for Bagley, who was a prized high school recruit.
