For the first time in years, the Sacramento Kings are having a wonderful season.
They are the third team in the West right now, have a 32-25 record, and are well on their way to making the playoffs for the first time in nearly 20 years.
Fans of the team are elated because they finally have a roster full of young talent that is actually delivering on its potential.

One of the breakout stars in Sac-Town is Keegan Murray, the rookie small forward who has started in nearly every game this season.
For the season, Murray is producing 11.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game.
His numbers are even more impressive when you look at his work from downtown.
Murray is the first NBA rookie to average 2.5 three-pointers and a 41.5% three-point percentage per game.
If he keeps this up, Murray will make the most threes ever by an NBA rookie.
Murray has been playing phenomenal basketball since being selected as the fourth overall pick in the latest draft.
He plays with authority, passion, and a desire to prove himself – and he’s not alone.
The entire Kings roster is full of great stars who share a similar sentiment.
De’Aaron Fox is leading the team with his 24.8 points a game, while Domantas Sabonis now fits perfectly in Sacramento with 18.8 of his own.
Other players like Harrison Barnes, Kevin Huerter, Malik Monk, Davion Mitchell, and more are making the Kings a must-watch team.
Unless something shocking happens, they will be part of the playoffs in a few months.
And they could find some great success, thanks to the hard work of stars like Murray.
