Kings' Georgios Papagiannis: Solid showing on the boards Sunday

Papagiannis provided six points (2-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one steal and one block across 24 minutes during Sunday's 118-102 loss to the Spurs.

Analysis:

The 7-2 big out of Greece demonstrated his ability to clean the glass Sunday, ripping down an impressive four offensive rebounds on his way to 10 total rebounds on the game in just 24 minutes of action. He also flashed his defensive potential, recording both a steal and a block. That being said, he committed five fouls, but that's nothing unusual for a 19-year old rookie finding his way around an NBA court. He's seen an increased role within the Kings' rotation over the past four games, averaging 15.7 minutes per game in the three games prior to Sunday's 24 minute showing. While it's possible he scrapes the surface of his fantasy potential at the end of this season, he likely won't be worth a look on the waiver wire in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.
