Kings center Kosta Koufos shares years of history with the new coach of Sacramento, Dave Joerger. In two seasons under Joerger’s guidance, Koufos’ Grizzlies were ranked fourth and first in points in the paint per game in addition to a top 10 field goal percentage ranking in both years.
The Greek-American player talked about his experience with Joerger on kings.com
On his thoughts on the addition of coach Joerger:
“He helped take that squad to the playoffs in my years there and obviously made the most out of a tough situation this season. He knows the game of basketball and he’s very passionate about it.”
On his impact on Kosta’s growth as a player:
“It was a combination of the players and coaching staff. He and the coaching staff did a great job, they helped elevate my game offensively and defensively.”
On his potential defensive impact:
“I’m sure he’ll be able to bring that defensive mindset and have us all buy in. It’s a new start and a new look. Coach Joerger knows what he’s doing on that side of the floor.”
