Reactions
I think the Kings surprise a lot of people this year. We have a very underrated line up/roster

Zach Randolph will be shooting a lot of threes this season if the first four minutes are any indication

And Z-Bo scores of Aldridge in the post. He’ll be doing that forever. Professional post scorer

Kings’ second unit of De’Aaron Fox, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Willie Cauley-Stein, Buddy Hield & Skal Labisserie will be fun to watch this season.

This is somewhat the De'Aaron Fox show right now. He's having his way with 7 points and clear paths to the basket.

Fox is lightning. Mason is a bulldog.

I'm trying not to get too overly exited over a preseason game but I am definitely seeing some great things from the young Kings.

This lineup will break some necks.

Willie, Fox, Buddy, Skal, and Bogdan is a FAST lineup.
I don't know if they'll win many games, but the Fox, Hield, Bogdan, Skal, WCS brought me so much joy.

Final Thoughts
Yesterday’s outing by Sacramento went as well as it could have for a team looking for a fresh start. The veterans on the team played solid with each other in the limited minutes they had while the young core surprisingly clicked well together for a squad who started training camp just a week prior.
This season will be an exciting one for the Kings and their fans. The team has a ton of exciting and young talent on their roster while having veterans on the team who are motivated to help guide the youth in the right direction.
The Kings will not be a contender for the NBA championship this season. Heck, there is little chance the team will make the playoffs. But if yesterday’s contest was any indication of the pattern of progress the team will make going forward, the purple and white will be an exciting team in the next years to come.
