Earlier in the season the defense looked average or even marginally good at times, but that has fallen away. Kings are now collectively getting smashed pumpkins most nights on defense. Offense has consistently had enough dry-spells to lose games, and is and will be a problem next year. Defense seems to be the bigger problem now. On offense you look at the scoring distribution and you have 6 players scoring in the low double digits which is actually desirable statistically, but, #1 the defense must improve drastically. And #2 they need at least 2 leading scorers who average in the high teens or low 20s who can consistently manufacture points when the offense grinds down.
HOWEVER, at this point though, its all about losing, and attempting the top pick with Aayton or secondly Young imo. Its a sucky looking draft unfortunately though. Keep the losses coming (tanking) ought to be the mantra the rest of this season. The worst thing short term would be to jump 3 to 5 positions up. This year it could be that or 1 or 2 wins could potentially point to a much higher probability of 3 or 4 places down the draft.
