Kings sign point guard Brown to contract

Published: Friday, Jul. 25, 2008

Former Cal State Fullerton star point guard Bobby Brown, who helped Alba Berlin win the German club championship last season after not being drafted in the NBA, signed a contract with the Kings, the team announced Friday.

"We're really excited to be able to sign Bobby Brown," said Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie. "He matured as a player in Europe last season and had an exceptional Summer League in Las Vegas. It gives us some additional depth and athleticism at the point. I think he'll be a great complement to the rest of our roster as we go into training camp. We're all looking forward to watching him play."

While the Kings didn't disclose the contract terms, it's believed to be a two-year deal at the league minimum ($442,114) with a player option in the second season, as confirmed by a source close to the Kings.

Brown, 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds, played with the New Orleans Hornets in the NBA Summer League, scoring a total of 46 points and handing out 18 assists.
