30 days / 30 teams: Sacramento Kings

A new coach, a new star, but there is no new momentum for kings. After entering 2023. years and 3. Places in the West, California Franchise found a soft belly conference.

Results (40 wins – 42 defeats, 9. place), is not dishonoring considering the density of trouble. But Defeat during the play at home Against Maverik Hosting 120 points left the sour than sweet notes in the season already disappeared.

Naming Doug Christie The bench followed Mike Brown had merit to return a little joy. The former house signed a positive assessment (27-24), but she still could not transform “Sacto”. Confirmed in his functionsHe managed to live his first out-of-security to form a team in his own way. But the movements were quite rare. The vacuum left by trade de’aaron fox for pigeons during the season is partially filled signing Dennis Schroderwho continues his NBA tour during the season before the summer hit FIBA.

For others, the kings mostly put on their hard core, hoping to see that it was crossing the medicine. Arrival Zach Avalanche During the season, he did not pay, even if he did not earn statistically speaking. The big question lies in Trio Ability Avalanches – Derosan – Sabonis to make a weight in front of the Kador league. With only 25 games played together, it is difficult to really have a precise idea. But the first review can leave skeptical: Sacramento had more or less indeed weight (7. offensive rating before work trade, 10. after) and the same defense generous (from 18. Defense ratings at 23.).

In Dougu Christie and her staff find more balance, even if the workforce is hard to miss in referenced plugs. Except for Keegan MurraiIn progress, in this area and Keon Ellisor even Devin CarterHe played little, defenders are not legions in Sacrament. 217 centimeters French cousin Makime Rainaud It will not harm the circle, although it is not most pronounced than the interior. Former Stanford Player, however, could have his chance, just like the second Rookie, intriguing Nique Clifford. So, we take almost the same … even if Sacramento wants to start the same scenario again.

Summer movements

Arrivals: Dilan Cardwell (two-way), Nique Clifford (draft), Drew Eubanks, Daekvon Plovden (two-way), Makime Rainaud (draft), Dario Saric, Dennis Schroder, Isaiah Schrorens (two-way)

Departures: Jake Cultder, Markelle Fultz, Mason Jones, Jake Laravia, Trey Liles, Jonas Valanciunas

The player who follows: Zach Avalanche

Speaking from MORLS BULLS in kings, it is not skrasno disoriented Zach avalanches, results in the newer defeat in the play. The former Minnesota player and Chicago will live his first full season in California and will be eagerly anticipated. His first months, they saw him helping lead after a malik Monk injury. Now it should find its job 2 favorite and serves as the main long-term team of the team.

With its 44.6% 3 points last season, he confirmed his good address from the beginning of the seasons to the bulls. The former winner of the competition for Dunks will need to stay on this sacramental lack of caliber shooters. If Sacramento wants to hope that it will better make it, it will probably be more defensively involvement for Zach avalanches, too often exceeded on this side of the parquet. It is up to it to show an example and takes over the role of leader in labor force, for 30 years. Especially since its contract only takes over two years and can quickly become exchange currency if transplant failed to materialize in success.

Average age: 27.9 years

Payment list: $ 190.8 million (20th)

Ideal scenario

New GM Scott Perry plays on continuity To be installed in Sacramento. No doubt is a bad idea after so many turns in recent months. The summer must be synonymous with internal adjustment, whether in the style of team reproduction, or responsibilities entrusted to each other to hope from the front. Will this be synonymous with an even faster game that will return to the formula that was so attractive in 2022/23 under Miker Brown, while De’Aron Fox is no longer in the workforce?

Domantas Sabonis remains double, even a three-time double machine. Demar Derozan is an insurance of about twenty points and great performance at the end of the match. And with Malik MonachDennis Schroder and Zach Avalanche, the last line is not lacking options to injure opposing defenses. If Doug Christie manages to find the key to maximize the quality of her group, the kings have talent and experience to mix with the fight to the playoffs.

The worst scenario

This ideal scenario already emphasizes the scope of a task waiting for Sacramento. It is difficult to see that this workforce could invent, especially in defense or in the protection of the circle.

At this stage, kings must realistically look behind them than in front, those who finished eight winning top 8. Mavericks recovered Cooper flagg and are better armed on paper when they are all complete. Blazer and gravelers are in the ascension phase phase. And even pelicans remain completely unknown in line with their real level.

So beware of extermination if Californians still cap. Scott Perry failed to conclude the case for Jonathan Kuminga, but his intentions about waters winged is that it will be ready to keep a team that a colleague is worthy and that the future be a little clearer. Then we can imagine that no one could really be sure, especially that there are no demors of Derosan and Zach Lavina whose contracts expire 2027. Years and that the club did not end up with turbulence …
