Former Kings All-Star Peja Stojakovic, a member of the team’s front office since 2015, has received a promotion, the team announced today in a press release. According to the Kings, Stojakovic will serve as an assistant general manager for Sacramento going forward.
Stojakovic, who had previously been the Kings’ vice president of basketball and team development, will assume more responsibilities related to player development and talent evaluation in his new position, per the team. He will also gain additional oversight over the organization’s G League affiliate, the newly-relocated Stockton Kings.
“I am thrilled to announce that Peja will serve in this expanded role,” general manager Vlade Divac said in a statement. “His experience as a player and basketball executive combined with his ability to develop players and assess talent is a valuable asset to the Kings.”
The Kings had already employed a pair of assistant GMs in Brandon Williams and Ken Catanella. According to Jason Jones of The Sacramento Bee, Williams’ and Catanella’s roles will remain unchanged following the promotion of Stojakovic.
3 Assistant GM’s and they still stink? Wow, maybe Vlade needs more help.
Cuz they building around some young players
I suppose c webber , mike bibby and doug Christie are waiting for their call.
lmaoo, get the band back together
This is a joke neither Vlade nor Peja know what their doing it’s something that Clade probably asked for for Peja.. they have all these so called talent evaluators but that’s because Vlade is a novice at best.. by the way they will be bad again next year and because of Vlades ineptitude they won’t have a first round pick next years draft.. I just don’t see things getting better for them anytime soon..
White Chocolate to be an assistant GM, too? Maybe CWebb and Scott Pollard next.
