15. Sacramento Kings (15-13)
The Sacramento Kings have been one of the biggest surprises in the NBA thus far, and continue to prove me wrong on a night to night basis. This is a team that I thought could win less than 15 games this season.
Despite their reported power struggle between top management and their head coach, the Kings continue to win games and are just two games out of one of the top 5 seeds in the Western Conference.
That’s pretty amazing considering that this team has been the punchline of the NBA for the last few years. The Kings likely won’t be a playoff team this season, but they’re certainly building something positive.
