The most predictable part of this season for the Kings was that it would end with a lot more losses than wins and a return to the NBA draft lottery.
This season was going to be about the future and development of players on the opening-day roster who had three or fewer seasons of NBA experience, including four rookies.
Before the season, I laid out five things to watch as realistic benchmarks for improvement. As the Kings end the season Wednesday after hosting the Houston Rockets, we revisit those goals and see how the team did, grading on a pass/fail basis.
