On a team drowning in guards, it can be hard to stand out as a shooting guard or a point guard. But that is exactly what Keon Ellis did in the final game of the preseason, giving fans a preview of what kind of performance they might be in for this season.
Out of the 18 players signed to the Kings roster between regular and two-way contracts, 10 of them are guards. That means 56% of the team are guards, many of whom are shooters without a defensive focus. This is particularly true of the veterans.
This is the team imbalance that has been dragging the franchise down for years.
