I’m not sure I agree with you here.
As
@SacTownKid has pointed out, this team does have a lot of talent — and some depth.
While the players definitely deserve a large portion of blame, I believe mismanagement has played a larger role in underachieving.
Their current win percentage would have them producing a 36-48 record over 82 — which they’ve only reached and eclipsed one time the past 12 seasons.
They accomplished that despite two 9 game losing streaks. Which is ridiculous when you think about it.
Normally those types of long losing streaks are associated with tanking teams or teams so bad they don‘t eclipse 20 wins.
I believe better management could have minimized the two long streaks and this team would be in the postseason as constructed — just like Memphis.
However I believe they’d be better than Memphis.
IDC that Memphis has won 6 more games and sit in 9th place. I like our KINGS roster over their’s in terms of future success IF both are managed at the highest possible level.
