The Sacramento Kings are in a world of hurt right now.
At 6-12, the Kings look pathetic, and losing by 33 on Sunday proves that.
The Kings have been bad all year and the numbers show why they are doing bad and what the Kings need to fix.
Right now, the Kings have one good thing going on and that is being in the top-10 in rebounding thanks to DeMarcus Cousins, which is a surprise.
The Kings are in the bottom-10 in scoring and have only had 100 points in a game twice. They have the worst field goal percentage in the league and they are last in assists.
Not only that, but the Kings have already had a coaching change and we’re not even a quarter of the way through the season.
With the season still young, the Kings have plenty of time to rebound.
I think the Kings need to bring in a true point guard to run the team and trade away some of their shooting guards.
Starting Tyreke Evans at point guard is a terrible move because he is a score-first guard and no starting point guard should average only 4.4 assists per game. The point guard is supposed to set the team up to score and he clearly has not done that.
The Kings are young and have no shot at the playoffs in my mind, but I think the acquisition of a true point guard and a veteran leader like Steve Nash would do wonders for this team.
