Since moving Buddy Hield to the bench and Bogdan Bogdanovic to the starting lineup on January 24th, the Sacramento Kings season has suddenly been transformed. They have won twelve of their last seventeen and have found themselves in the middle of the race for the eighth seed in the Western Conference. Even better, early Kings critics seem to have disappeared.
Considering the disastrous start to the season, this February has been nothing short of miraculous. We have gone from fans booing the team at home and many, many calls on social media for the heads of either Luke Walton or Vlade Divac (or both), to hope in the kingdom once more and a fan base that has settled down, at least temporarily.
