14. Sacramento Kings

It’s good to see the Sacramento Kings playing an exciting brand of basketball. It’s not something that we’ve seen from them in a very long time. Of course, as is nearly always the case, the question is whether this will end up being sustainable for a franchise that has constantly disappointed.

Fair or not, I think that will largely depend on De’Aaron Fox and if he’s able to sustain his specific level of play. He’s gotten off to a great start to the season and has made all the difference for a team that needed a star to take over the reins. He’s done that so far this season.

Domantas Sabonis has been a great supporting star and Kevin Huerter could end up being one of the most underrated moves of the offseason. The Kings have some issues to figure out on the defensive end but this team is quite explosive offensively. It’s been a fun start for the Kings.
