The Kings got the two Rising Stars I figured they'd get. The U.S. team was stacked, making De'Aaron Fox a longshot.

Final Thoughts
Despite the Kings having a rough season, it is nice to see that some of their players are receiving recognition for their efforts so far.
For Bogdanovic, he has been a pleasure to watch as his skills and instincts on the court make him a great all-around player for his team.
As for Hield, his ability to make shots at an effective rate gives Kings fans hope that he can be the team’s sharpshooter going forward.
Congratulations on earning a spot in the Rising Stars Game, Bogi and Buddy! Continue to make Sacramento proud!
