Sacramento Kings

Record Prediction: 30-52

As much as I want DeMarcus Cousins to succeed with the Sacramento Kings, I can’t help but feel sorry for the roster construction that has gone on in Sac-Town. The hiring of Dave Joerger was a step in the right direction, but it won’t be enough to turn things around in Sacramento.

Rudy Gay and Ben McLemore will probably be gone by January and this team has huge need in the backcourt. Can Darren Collison and Ty Lawson carry this team at the point guard position? Who knows.

While Arron Afflalo is a fine player, he’s not going to move the needle either way. Once again, the weight of this team will fall on Boogie’s shoulders. Shame.
