Sasha Vezenkov has incredibly high IQ, plays similarly to previous Kings Euro star Nmenaja Bjelica. Going to fit very well with this Sacramento Kings offense.

3. Sasha Vezenkov did show all of us that he has the skill like we all knew he did. 12 points 3 Rebounds 2 assists in 11 minutes is solid. He will be a bigger piece for us in the regular season and will translatepic.twitter.com/dYklAg9FUd

Sasha Vezenkov had a strong debut.
Keegan Murray is already showing off his ramped-up aggression on offense.
Like last year, the Kings struggled to win the battle of the boards and limit the three-ball.

No real takeaways from preseason, except Sasha Vezenkov seems legit.

Vezenkov will adjust quickly to the NBA style and be the first replacement for Barnes within a couple of months. He’s too good of a player to be on the bench very long

Kings forward Sasha Vezenkov did not disappoint in his preseason debut. 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting from the field and 2-of-4 from deep is not bad.
