SMost surprise team so far but i dont think it will last

At least 8 teams are a tier better than they are in WC imo, final standings should reflect that

Houston SA GSW Portland New Orleans Denver Utah Lakers OKC

Lakers not so sure about.  The 8 best teams don't always get the 8 playoff spots.  Davis misses 15+ games NO is out.

Labissiere and Harry Giles continuing to rack up those DNP-CDs... Justin Jackson starting to fall out of the rotation finally...he has been horrible.

538 updates after each game and currently gives SAC a 1% chance of making the playoffs. As expected, they only list PHO and DAL with lower WC playoff odds.

Even MEM (14%) and LAC (24%) are listed higher.

Skal went from a pretty meaningful part of their rotation last season to averaging just over 5mpg. Only above Ben McLemore, another young player they arguably ruined

Kentucky ruined Skal and McLemore just isn't any good.  Those guys aren't in the rotation because they just aren't very good.  Giles may get there someday if he can stay healthy, but health is always going to follow him around. 

The Kings are a young fun team that is very well coached.  They won't make the playoffs, but they aren't going to be a terrible team (like the Suns, Hawks, etc.) either, which is what I've been predicting all summer.

Oh yeah, Skal's career has just been a mess. He was a top prospect in HS, and now look at him. McLemore was never good, but he was still an athletic 21 year old who put up 12/3/2, and was a good college player. That his best year was his second is quite [dang]ing.

They've definitely turned it around now. No longer are they the perennial joke of the league

12/3/2 in over 32 mpg isn't that good.  You could certainly reasonably argue that from a per minute standpoint that wasn't his best season (his 4th season for example was his best points per 36 season).  He just isn't very good.  If you want to fault the Kings anywhere with McLemore, it should be with taking him 7th when 7 of the next 9 players drafted have all been better, and many of them significantly better.

Minny at least got two quality rotation players back in the butler trade. Thibs staying competitive, could be worse... not bad news for the Sac slot

fun fact: Minnesota is 0-8 on the road this season

Tonight, go Lakers! 

[rondofan1255]

Lakers win!  101-86!

The kings will start loosing... we will get a top 10 pick nut there are worse teams

[CelticsFanFromNYC]

I was just on tankathon.com looking at the team's %  for chances at #1 pick. Team #1 (being the worse) is at 14% chance while team #4 is at 13.2. team # 7 is at 9%. The Kings pick and race for Zion will get interesting!

If the Kings fall back to the bottom 7 we’ll have at least a 37.2% chance of a top 4 pick.  That’s all I’m hoping for. Lol

From there it might be easier to trade up by including the Grizzlies pick and maybe something like Rozier.

[Birdman]

Still think they be bottom 5 after season..Cavs, Hawks, Suns top 3 worst

If the Kings finish 7th worst, there's only a 24.4% chance we get a top 2-4 pick.  There is a 7.5% chance at the top pick but that would go to the Sixers.
