Report: Kings hiring B.J. Armstrong as assistant GM
The Sacramento Kings are hiring B.J. Armstrong, a three-time NBA champion as a player with the Chicago Bulls, as their assistant general manager, ESPN reported on Tuesday.
The Kings last month hired longtime NBA executive Scott Perry as general manager and on May 1 announced that the interim tag had been removed from head coach Doug Christie.
Amstrong, 57, followed 11 seasons as a point guard in the NBA (1989-2000) with experience in the Bulls' front office and as a scout, an ESPN analyst and two decades as a player agent. He represented former league MVP Derrick Rose.
He has been co-hosting "The Hoop Genius Podcast," with Perry as a guest.
Armstrong won NBA titles as a point guard on the Bulls in 1991, 1992 and 1993.
He averaged 9.8 points, 3.3 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 23.8 minutes per game in 747 regular-season games (341 starts) for the Bulls (1989-95, 1999-2000), Golden State Warriors (1995-97), Charlotte Hornets (1997-1999) and Orlando Magic (1999).
Armstrong played in 105 playoff games (39 starts) for the Bulls, Hornets and Magic and averaged 7.9 points, 2.4 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 22.5 minutes per game.
