29. Sacramento Kings

Much like the Hawks, the Sacramento Kings have a ton of interesting prospects on the roster. Beginning with De’Aaron Fox, the Kings finally have this excitement surrounding the team heading into the new season.

Buddy Hield continues to quietly impress and the additions of Marvin Bagley, Newanja Bjelica and Harry Giles should help this season. Sacramento doesn’t necessarily have the biggest of names with the best reputation, but they have some nice pieces to build around. If they can continue to develop under head coach Dave Joerger, the Kings are going to be not only extremely fun to watch but also an intriguing team to keep an eye on.

I don’t think anyone is penciling in the Kings to a playoff spot in the Western Conference, but they are on the rise. Whether you’re willing to believe it or not, they are getting better. Even if it might not show up in the standings this year, they are building a nice young foundation.
