Last season, ex-Kings guard George Hill came into the year as the Sacramento Kings best player. Whether or not that’s a compliment to Hill or an indictment of the roster is not the point.
George Hill is gone and has been since a mid-season trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers, so who takes the role as the Kings best player? Well, there’s a few contenders, most notably: De’Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Willie Cauley-Stein. So who’s got the edge?
For the sake of argument, rookies are not being considered so don’t expect to see Harry Giles or Marvin Bagley III mentioned here.
