Overall Thoughts

The players on the Sacramento Kings need to look at themselves in the mirror and assess what they are good at. If they are better at scoring, then they need to have a scoring mentality when on the court. If they are contributing more defensively, then they need to be more motivated to be a defensive anchor for the team.

In the games so far, most of the players are dribbling the air out of the ball and trying to revert to playing hero ball. This does not define team success and just showcases selfishness. If the Kings want to win, they have to play to their strengths, but not above them. If they work as a cohesive group and fulfill their roles, they will surely turn the ship in the right direction for the remainder of the season.

The Kings still have 76 games left in the 2019-20 season. They recently won a game and are heading on a road trip which consists of opponents that are not too difficult to beat. Play within themselves and for each other and they should be just fine.
