16. Sacramento Kings (6-4)
Last week: 25
There’s an argument for the Sacramento Kings to be a bit higher on this list, but I still have my reservations about this team. They’re so young, and somewhat have a history of letting their fans down, despite what their start may look like.
However, the fact that they’ve played quite well through the first 10 games of the NBA season is encouraging. De’Aaron Fox looks like a real player and Buddy Hield is looking more and more like a competent NBA contributor.
Again, the Kings have been in this spot before. And in the next few weeks, if history is any indication of what we should expect, they will begin to fall off. Here’s hoping that their hot start is real and they can continue to build of the first three weeks.
