FINAL THOUGHTS
Overall, the young Kings were outmatched in their fourth preseason game. But with that being said, the purple and white also were able to show signs of optimism that their fans should be excited about.
With Justin Jackson scoring 16 points, Frank Mason III recording 13 points and 3 assists, and Skal Labissiere recording 13 points and 7 rebounds, Kings fans should be excited for what their young talent holds in the upcoming future.
The process may take some time as the team is in the beginning stages of their rebuild, but the end product looks to be something special once the players fully develop.
