The “Kentucky Kings” has a nice ring to it.
De’Aaron Fox, Malik Monk, and Trey Lyles are currently thriving in Sacramento. Fox, who is averaging 24.3 PPG and 6.1 APG this season, may end up being an NBA All-Star replacement before it’s all said and done. Monk has been playing great off the bench, making a strong case for Sixth Man of the Year (13.4 PPG and 3.9 APG in 22.6 minutes off the bench). Lyles is playing his role perfectly, being the guy who can come in and knock down a few threes and play solid defense.
