Turner Volvo Excited About Sacramento Kings' Jimmer!
The Sacramento Kings opened training camp Saturday with the former BYU sensation as the star attraction, injecting some life into a franchise that seemed destined to move south to Anaheim last summer and desperately needs to build momentum for a new arena by March to avoid relocation.
“I definitely respect these guys as basketball players and as people,” Fredette said. “And if you show them that respect, they’ll respect you right back. That’s what it’s all about. So I’m continuing to gain that respect hopefully and just try to make the right decisions and be a good person.”
Treating him no differently than any other rookie, Kings players also tagged Fredette with several chores, including handing out bottles of water and Gatorade while they finished stretching. He was the only rookie to clean the floor.
“I have to pick it up or it’s $100 a bottle,” Fredette said, chuckling. “Not taking any chances.”
