There are not a lot of good things that come with your best and most important player missing extended time with an injury. But if there has been a silver lining to the difficulties that the Sacramento Kings are currently enduring, it is that other players have been given the chance to showcase their abilities.
In the absence of Marvin Bagley, Richaun Holmes has become a fan favorite and a fixture on the court, having secured himself the starting center job (for now). Nemanja Bjelica has received extended playing time and has been a key contributor in a handful of games this season as well.
