Coach has done a nice job of late reconfiguring his defense and figuring out how to distribute minutes so that the Kings' better defenders are getting adequate run. It also helps that he appears to have 110% buy-in from his entire team right now on both sides of the ball. The Kings are 4th in the league in OFFRTG and are averaging just a hair under 120 points per game while their leading scorers are Fox at 23.1 ppg, Sabonis at 16.7 ppg, Huerter at 15.5 ppg, and Monk at 14.7 ppg. That's f***ing nuts. Nobody's getting massive bites at the apple on the regular, but everybody's eating on this team (and most are doing so quite efficiently), which says to me that these Kings are playing for each other and not for themselves.
While I attribute much to Domas' leadership and other intangibles on and off the court, it is absolutely clear that Mike Brown has put in a ton of work to establish a sustainable team-wide culture of unselfishness that has made the Kings a passably competent defensive team for the first time in fifteen years, as well as one of the most exciting and efficient offenses in the NBA. As an interesting point of contrast, the Celtics are at the top of the league in OFFRTG and averaging just over 120 ppg while their leading scorers are Jayson Tatum at 30.7 ppg and Jaylen Brown at 27 ppg. Boston's offense is exceptional without a doubt, but they're also really dependent upon the individual scoring excellence of their two best players.
That said, the Kings may not have a lot of individual performers who can regularly blow up NBA Twitter with massive 40- or 50-point scoring nights, but it also doesn't seem like they need anybody to do that kind of heavy-lifting on offense, which bodes well for this season's continued success on that side of the ball. If they continue to improve on the other end, I think a top-6 finish is pretty likely.
