Kings owner Vivek Ranadive and general manager Monte McNair went to the CAA pro day workout in Southern California last week to watch projected top-10 NBA draft prospects Jaden Ivey and AJ Griffin.
While they were there, Ranadive and McNair also got a good look at Fanbo Zeng, an intriguing young player from China who might have opened eyes with an impressive showing in front of some of the league’s top executives.
Zeng, 19, is a 6-foot-11 small forward/power forward with bounce, burst, ball-handling skills and shooting ability. Following Zeng’s workout, ESPN draft analyst Jonathan Givony tweeted: “Fanbo Zeng had a big platform to showcase his talent at the CAA Pro Day in front of a room full of NBA decision makers. The 6’11 Chinese wing exhibited his improved frame, terrific shooting stroke and vertical explosiveness.”
