17. Sacramento Kings

Last Week’s Ranking: 14

It is never good when the parents of players become part of a story. Marvin Bagley III’s dad took to Twitter to ask the Kings to trade his son. Then De’Aaron Fox’s father got involved with his own tweet. The off-court drama alone is enough to drop the Kings in the rankings, but the on-court play (1-5 in their last six games) contributed as well. 

The Kings got blown out by 31 against the Warriors and lost to the Raptors by 21. Those loses were sandwiched by a close win against the Bulls in which Tyrese Haliburton returned to the lineup. Even his return has not helped the defense.

Before this week they were in the middle of the pack in defensive rating, but after giving up 137, 124, 144 and 125, they are nearly the worst in the NBA.

The start of the season had promise, but it seems the Kings have returned to being the KANGZZZ on and off the court.
