Kings sign Orien Greene
Aug 31st, 2007 by Inside Hoops
The Sacramento Kings today signed free-agent point guard Orien Greene to a contract, according to Kings’ President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. InsideHoops.com hears it’s a short-term deal, and we’re assuming it’s for low money, probably close to the minimum, but we absolutely have not confirmed that. It’s just logical speculation.
Greene, a 6-4, 210-pound guard, averaged 1.5 ppg (.371 FG%, .600 FT%) and 1.1 rpg in 41 games for the Indiana Pacers in 2006-07.
Originally drafted out of Louisiana-Lafayette in the second round (#53) of the 2005 NBA Draft by Boston, Green appeared in 80 games (started five) for the Celtics his rookie season, posting averages of 3.2 ppg (.395 FG%, .662 FT%), 1.8 rpg, 1.6 apg, and 1.0 spg in 15.4 mpg.
Who? Hopefully, Mustafa or Orien will come through when Bibby’s on the bench because no one knows who will do better.
You Mean you don’t know if Bibby is going to show up or not.
the kings are shrewd judges of talent. the kid played well in boston in limited play time.
but i when i think about the success of the kings, my first thought is ron artest and not who is going to back up Bibby.
