Sacramento Kings

It’s been the Zach Randolph comeback week, with the veteran power forward averaging 20 points a game, to help the Kings to a 2-1 week. They had wins over the 76ers and the Nets, and a loss to Pau Gasol and the Spurs to take home before Christmas (not everyone can be a winner). Frank Mason has been big for the Kings off the bench, especially as of late as De’Aaron Fox has sat out games due to a quadriceps injury. George Hill isn’t taking a ton of shots each game, but he’s been very effective when he pulls the trigger on his jump shot. It’s been a frustrating season for the veteran guard, and while the Kings are never going to be playoff contenders this season, at least there’s a chance that Hill figures out his role with the team he just signed with in free agency.
