As the Kings get ready for the upcoming 2025-2026 NBA season, it's quite apparent where their strengths are. There is no shortage of shoot-first guards on the team, which will hopefully lead to a strong offense.
What they lack are versatile playmakers with a defensive mindset. That's what makes the Kings missing out on big opportunities to balance the roster so frustrating.
That was certainly the case with Olivier-Maxence Prosper, a young forward who was recently waived by the Mavericks. And there didn't seem to be any interest from the Kings.
