Happy New Year’s Eve everybody! Yes, even you, 1951.
As we prepare to flip the calendars and begin a new year, it’s worth reflecting on how far the Sacramento Kings have come. A year ago today the Kings had a record of 12-24 and played at the league’s slowest pace. The team was led by Zach Randolph and George Hill. The Kings were bad. Today the Kings are at 19-17 (above .500!) and are led by a core of De’Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield, and Bogdan Bogdanovic. Marvin Bagley III will return from injury sooner rather than later, and the team plays at one of the fastest paces in the league.
