Early season struggles are typically something that NBA teams can break through — there should never be any panic or overreaction in the month of October. The start of the 2019-’20 Sacramento Kings season is a unique case. We have not yet hit Halloween and the panic button has already been pressed.
It is not just that the Kings are struggling. It is not just the fact that they are off to an 0-3 start in a season with expectations. Their issue begins with the fact that they have lost those games by an average of 23 points.
