The 2010s have not been kind to the Sacramento Kings, but we take a dive in to players’ best statistical seasons in order to create the Kings All-Decade Team.
It has been a long decade for Sacramento Kings basketball. Since the start of the 2010-11 season, the franchise overall record stands at a dreadful 266-460. They have employed seven coaches over that period, including one stretch of coaching changes every season for four straight years.
There have been no playoff appearances. Just one player was good enough to make an All-Star team. Busts were drafted, bad trades were made. The Kings became one of the laughing stocks of the league, an unfortunate downfall after being one of the most exciting and talked about teams during the early part of the millennium.
There were not a lot of bright spots for the Sacramento Kings over the last decade, and many of the years were completely forgettable. But there were a small handful of players who had good seasons to go along with DeMarcus Cousins’ great ones.
The power forward position has been particularly underwhelming. Since Chris Webber was traded in February of 2005, only one Kings power forward has averaged 15+ points for a season. That player was Carl Landry, who averaged 18ppg over 28 games with Sacramento during the 2009-10 campaign.
This lineup that we have created is based on statistical output only and is certainly not based on the best fit. We took the best individual season by a player listed at each of the five positions, using that criteria to ultimately create our Sacramento Kings 2010’s All-Decade Team.
