Belinelli Destroys Michigan State In Exhibition Game

From Rajon Rondo signing, to George Karl, Vlade Divac and DeMarcus Cousins "feuding", the big news stories coming from the Kings organization over the past few months have cast a shadow on how big of a free agent signing Marco Belinelli was.

New Sacramento King and Italian-born shooting guard, Belinelli, played with his countrymen a few days ago against Michigan State in a European trip of exhibition games for the young college team.

Belinelli was on a whole different level compared to the rest of the players on both sides. The game ended in a 90-69 beating by Team Italy, led by Belinelli's 25 points in just 24 minutes of playing time. He shot 5-6 from behind the arc and also dished out five assists.

Watch the video above, he makes each shot look smooth and effortless - a shooter like him has been missing from this Kings roster for a long time. I'm sure coach George Karl loved watching his new three-point specialist so dialed in already in August.
