The Sacramento Kings were a pleasant surprise during the 2018-19 season. A team that was projected to win around 25 games last year ended up winning 39 times which had them only one spot away from competing in the playoffs.
A lot contributed towards the Kings’ success last season, but the main reason was the rise of the team’s young talent. Guys like De’Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield, Marvin Bagley III, and more were able to make leaps of improvement which accelerated the rebuilding process for the purple and white.
Kings Get Poor Ratings
With the Kings as a collective whole considered a team on the rise, it was expected that their ranking on the video game NBA 2K20 would be much higher than previous years.
