Taking the podium today for the Sacramento Kings’ Media Day, both head coach Luke Walton and Marvin Bagley III agreed on one thing: the addition of Doug Christie to the coaching staff this summer was a much-needed one.
Walton said that although turnover in his staff was “not ideal,” Christie’s impact is already starting to show.
“We love the coaches we added,” Walton said on Monday. “I think you guys all know Doug very well from working in the media here and playing in Sacramento. He’s been fantastic since joining the staff. He knows what it takes to win, he knows how to relate to players, it’s just getting him caught up to the coaching world.
