Kings to host Sauce Castillo Night on April 5
Does anyone remember Nik Stauskas?
He was that struggling Canadian rookie, toiling away as a seldom-used shooting guard on the woebegone Sacramento Kings. But that young man shed his skin during a fateful March 24 game against Philadelphia 76ers, and Sauce Castillo emerged.
The difference has been night and day.
Nik Stauskas, 61 games: 10.2 pts/36, 47.7 TS%. Sauce Castillo, 4 games: 12.4 pts/36, 65.4 TS%.

On top of putting up much-improved numbers, Mr. Castillo has been crowning 7-footers like it's nothing.
Wasting little time, the Kings have made arrangements to honor their new phenom, and on April 5 against the Utah Jazz, they'll host the inaugural Sauce Castillo Night.
The night will come complete with a special fan giveaway: a bottle of Sauce Castillo original hot sauce.
