Kings coach Mike Brown didn’t win the footrace, but he seemed to be winning hearts and minds on the first day of training camp Tuesday at the team’s Golden 1 Center practice facility.
Several players have cited Brown’s championship experience, wisdom, attention to detail and the way he has fostered relationships within the walls of Kings headquarters. Rookie Keegan Murray said he was impressed with the spirit and energy Brown brought to the floor.
“I knew coach Brown was going to bring energy and that’s exactly what he did,” Murray said. “I was happy to see that because that’s not something you normally get out of a head coach, so I thought that was pretty cool how he connected with his players today.”
