Sacramento Kings: Pick 2-4

DALLAS, TX – FEBRUARY 13: Vince Carter
DALLAS, TX – FEBRUARY 13: Vince Carter /

Last but not least are the lowly Kings. The team hasn’t made a playoff appearance since the ‘05-’06 season, and haven’t won more than 33 games since ‘08.

This new rebuild started mid-season last year, after trading DeMarcus Cousins to New Orleans. They made some interesting moves to say the least last offseason, signing veterans like Vince Carter, Zach Randolph and the recently traded George Hill. These signings hasn’t done much to their win column, and might even be stunting the growth of their young talent.

As for this year, they have no motivation to win, and probably won’t be bale to win that much either. Still, they have a nice young coach in Dave Joerger who should survive the rebuild, and might lead them to a win or two down the stretch.
