The Sacramento Kings Assistant Coach on Two Aorakis: “I Like What I See in Sasha Vezenkov”

Jay Triano, a member of the Sacramento Kings technical staff, took advantage of the NBA’s All Star Break and traveled to Crete to closely follow the OPAP Greek Cup games. Mainly to check on the life of Sasha Vezhenkov, whose rights are still owned by the Sacramento Kings.

It may be that nothing significant happened between the two sides last summer, but Sacramento doesn’t seem indifferent to the left-hander who claims the title of EuroLeague MVP this season.

Just recall that just a month and a half ago, KAE Olympiacos rushed Sasha Vezhenkov into an early extension to 2025 with higher wages and a higher NBA release clause.

What he said in detail:

“We have the rights to it, but I’ve never seen it live. With the All Star Break in the NBA, it was a good opportunity to come and see it. I heard how good he is. We have his rights. I wanted to see him personally, the decision will be made by the front office together with Sasha Vezenkov. He’s put himself in a great position. I’ve only seen him up close for half a game, but I can tell you I like what I see. You can just tell how skilled he is. He can pass, he can score. He has a high basketball IQ. It’s great to see him up close“.
