Season Predictions 2016
Current seeding: 11th
Projected seeding: 10th
Many players on this roster have exceeded expectations: from role players like SF Omri Casspi to stars like PG Rajon Rondo. The only problem is that this team did not have the talent at the start of the season to begin with, as they were still deciding whether they want to rebuild without superstar C DeMarcus Cousins, or with him (seriously?). For this team to continue making progress, it is important that they hold onto their productive players, like Cousins, Gay, and Rondo, and make additions around them. That means, despite the decent play of SG Marco Belinelli, finding a long-term answer at shooting guard, because clearly Ben McLemore is not that guy. With a few smart moves (I know it’s the Kings, but it’s still possible), this team could earn their first playoff appearance since 2006 in no time.
