It has been a continued rut of disappointment for the Sacramento Kings for more than the past decade with their last playoff appearance coming 11 years ago.
However, the front office has made many changes to the roster over the offseason by bringing many new faces via free agency and the draft. It is something that has second-year forward Skal Labissiere excited about what could lie ahead this upcoming season, according to the Associated Press.
“I think we have a really talented group,” second-year forward Skal Labissiere said. “This year for us is going to be a lot about growing. It's going to be an exciting year. We have great vets.”
Sacramento has put together a unique blend of young talent and proven veterans throughout their roster. This includes acquiring point guard George Hill, forward Zach Randolph and guard Vince Carter via free agency, while adding a slew of promising prospects through the 2017 NBA Draft in De'Aaron Fox, Justin Jackson, Harry Giles, and Frank Mason III.
This adds to a core group that already included second-year guard Buddy Hield and third-year big man Willie Cauley-Stein. These moves have the potential to finally bring a level of stability that the franchise has lacked over the last several years.
There will likely be a few bumps along the way this upcoming season, but the Kings could be finally hedging in the right direction.
