17. Sacramento Kings (25-24)
The Sacramento Kings are two games back from the final playoff spot in the Western Conference and, for the first time in a while, will likely be buyers as the NBA Trade Deadline draws near. They’re reportedly looking for a true starting small forward, something that they clearly don’t have on their roster.
Nevertheless, the Kings have been quite fine without one. They’ve been one of the best stories in the NBA this season, and both Buddy Hield and De’Aaron Fox have been good for this team this season.
The Kings are one of the most enjoyable watches in all the NBA, but this team should be even better next season. And that’s something to be even more excited about.
