The Sacramento Kings have a star-studded roster but, for all of their talent, they’re remarkably average.
They’re 12th in the Western Conference standings at 8-8. They rank 11th in points per game (115.1), 17th in opponent’s points per game (113.1), and 12th in net rating (+1.9). They’ve played multiple games without DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk, which has certainly affected the team. Yet, neither DeRozan nor Monk would have drastically improved the team’s three-point shooting, where they rank 22nd in average attempts (35.1) and 26th in percentage (.331).

To make it all the better, Portland Trail Blazers big man Robert Williams III can play alongside or behind Domantas Sabonis.
