For several weeks in August and September, three Kings represented their home countries in the EuroBasket 2015 tournament.
The Sacramento trio showed why the 2015-16 Kings have plenty to be excited about in the upcoming season.
Looking to vastly improve from their 21st place finish in 2013, Omri Casspi led Israel out of the group stages. Standing as a strong leader and go-to scorer, Casspi finished as the team’s leading scorer and rebounder, averaging 16.4 points, 7.2 boards and 3.2 assists over six contests.
Although Israel completed the group stages with a 3-2 record, they would be eliminated in the first round of the knockout stage by Kings teammate Marco Belinelli and Italy.
