NBA Power Rankings: Utah Jazz leap into the top-5

The Kings had a nice week, winning two of their four games, all while seeing the four players with the most minutes per game all being part of their young core in De’Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Willie Cauley-Stein. They picked up an overtime win over the Heat, and followed that up with a win over an injury-depleted Warriors team. They couldn’t get it done against the Thunder and Jazz, but not a lot of teams are able to either this year. The Kings should be positive about their core, and they’re on pace to add another young rotation player via the draft this season.
