With a season full of expectations ahead for the Sacramento Kings, which three players specifically will face the most pressure during the campaign?
For the first time in over a decade, the Sacramento Kings are entering the season with high expectations.
After coming off a year surprising the NBA, and honestly themselves, the ultimate goal now is to finally break their 13-year playoff drought and see how far they can go in the postseason. Anything short of the playoffs for Sacramento will be considered a bust for them.
These expectations were rising once the 2018-19 campaign ended for Sacramento, and now they have escalated after Vlade Divac and company made some savvy moves during this summer.
With the purple and white entering the offseason having a few holes on their roster, they seem to address all of them by their free-agent acquisitions in Trevor Ariza, Harrison Barnes, Dewayne Dedmon, Richaun Holmes, and Cory Joseph. Now that the Kings have arguably their best all-around roster in ages, they seem primed to have an even better season than last year.
The pressure is now on for the young Kings to make the postseason, but specifically, which players on the squad have more pressure than the others? To me, there are a handful of guys on the purple and white that need to have a good season for both the team and themselves to benefit going forward. But let us go through only three players today.
Which three players on the Kings’ roster are entering the 2019-20 campaign with the most pressure on their shoulders?
