Former Pistons second-round draft pick Rickey Paulding will  try to make the Sacramento Kings' roster, his agent said.

"Sacramento has some room on its roster for a player who does well in vet camp," Doug Neustadt said Tuesday.

Asked if he was disappointed he wouldn't be playing with the hometown Pistons, Paulding said: "It's definitely something I wanted to do. Whatever reason, it didn't work out."

"Rickey would have obviously liked to play for Detroit," Neustadt said, "but given the makeup of their roster, it would have been extremely difficult."
