The Kings certainly got better (at least offensively) with the addition of DeRozan. That being said, the Western Conference has gotten stronger around them. Teams like the Grizzlies and Suns are poised for bounce-back years. The top of the West has gotten better as well. Although the Kings should be one of the top offenses in the league, we worry about their ability to outperform last year\u2019s win total.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sacramento Kings are in a curious position.
