The Sacramento Kings' offense has found their groove again, becoming one of the league's best early in the season.
seem to have unlocked the elite offense that propelled them to a three-seed finish two seasons ago. Between the addition of consistent 20+ points per game scorer DeMar DeRozan, Domantas Sabonis shooting three-pointers at a scorching clip, and the team making their free throws, the Kings find themselves in the top five in multiple offensive categories across the NBA.
The most surprising, and possibly the most consequential, is the team free throw percentage. Through three games, the Kings are shooting 85.9 percent from the foul stripe, the best in the league. This is particularly impressive given the Kings were dead last in free throw percentage as a team last season, shooting 74.5 percent. It could be argued the Kings lost multiple games last season due to poor free-throw shooting, so this is a welcome development.
One obscure stat that tells a story is that the Kings are being blocked less than any other team, just three times per game. That means Sacramento’s offense is generating a lot of open shots, and players aren’t forcing bad shots at the rim. This bodes very well for the Kings to maintain their high-powered offense for the foreseeable future., who are giving up 121.0 points per game, so expect Sacramento to continue their hot offensive start to the season.
