Seems about right.

Placement is right

But the win total is too high. My prediction: 30 wins and trouble scoring a lot of nights. I hope I’m wrong, but I’m OK with being right, assuming the young guys are getting minutes.

I don't like what they say about our scoring.

Ron scored 20.5 points per game last season. Kevin scored 23.7. With Ron gone I think Kev can go for 26 a night due to getting more shots.. Salmons went for 12.5 ppg. I can see him picking up Ron’s slack and going for that 20.5. Last season John’s FG% was higher than Ron’s and Ron shot 7 more shots a game than Salmons. So that’s Add up John and Kevin’s increased points and that’s 10.3 ppg. I think between Beno, Cisco, and SHawes we can get that extra 10.

Maybe I’m just being hopeful but most of the slack will be picked up by Martin and Salmons.

6th or 7th draft slot?

Good chance to make a run at the #1 pick, as well. I can see the Kings’ future PG being picked up next year if this is all true. :) I’m also interested in seeing how Hawes/JT/Donté/Brown develop, as well. Don’t care much about the win %.

Kings >, =

> OKC, Min, Mem, Mil, NYK, Cha

= LAC, GS, NJ, Ind

My ~~blind ass guess~~ opinion is that the KIngs will be battling with the Clips and the Dubs for the 10-12 spot in the west, and they will finish somewhere between 7-11 in the pre-ping pong ball draft lottery (whic will wind up being one slot below where they will ultimately need to be).

Personally

I think the team will finish with 30-40 wins depending on the type of luck and development of young talent happens.

And that's the closest to a prediction I can come up with btw
