Last seasons leading scorer Zach Randolph figures to have a dramatically reduced role this season, leaving the Kings without a go-to scorer. There are players on the roster who have the ability to develop into a go-to guy, but will any of them make the leap?
Buddy Hield probably has the best odds at making that jump. He’s a plus-scorer from deep and can get points inside. He was the Kings second leading scorer last season, despite only getting to the free-throw line just once per game. Therein lies the biggest concern with Buddy’s development as a scorer.
