Heading into this offseason, it was clear that the Sacramento Kings lagged behind the best teams in terms of overall talent.
Since last Thursday’s start of free agency, Sacramento has made two moves to address that talent shortage: signing Malik Monk to a 2-year, $19 million contract and trading for Kevin Huerter. Both guys add an element of knock-down 3-point shooting to a team that lacked it after last year’s trade deadline.
While neither Monk nor Huerter are franchise pillars, they are both young players and have a track record of success in the NBA.
