NBA Season Preview 2017-18: Kings have youth all over the roster
By Kareem Gantt
Point Guard
Starter — De’Aaron Fox
Depth — George Hill, Frank Mason III
This is where the Kings have really improved.
For the first time in what seems like an eternity, Sacramento actually picked a player in this year’s draft that can actually help the team right away. De’Aaron Fox greatly upgrades a position that was pretty much held together with duct tape the past few seasons.
Backing up Fox will be George Hill, who may split time between both guard spots. Hill’s talents may be on the other side of his prime, but he can provide steady leadership to a Kings team that will be among one of the league’s youngest squads when the season starts.
Frank Mason III will be projected to be the third guard, and he can fill in the gaps if Fox and Hill break down during the season.
