With the tank in full swing in Sacramento, the Kings are seeing two members of their veteran core, former All-Stars Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine, undergo season-ending surgery to repair their respective knee and finger injuries. With Sabonis and LaVine gone, the Kings are certainly going to establish themselves as the worst team in the NBA, which they are currently on with their poor 12-44 record.

It may be terrible in Sacramento currently, but it’s not all doom and gloom, as the Kings have at least a few young players on the roster who have shown glimpses of being members of the next great iteration of the team, the most prominent being Keegan Murray.

Murray was performing well at the start of the season, but his progress to becoming a main player for the Kings has been halted due to injuries. However, with the Sacramento Giants’ improved condition, Murray now has a bigger opportunity upon his return from injury.

“I think it’s a big opportunity for me to grow as a player. I mean, with DeMar [DeRozan] These past few years, [De’Aaron] The Fox guys love it, I’m not able to take those big shots and things like that and in those moments,” Murray said, per Brendan Nunes of Sactown Sports.

“Just being able to step up in those moments and be able to create and take shots that win or lose games. I think that’s something I really haven’t done in my career so far.”

Keegan Murray will be the main man for the Kings

Murray hasn’t really had the opportunity to be the number one option for the Kings yet. However, he doesn’t have that opportunity yet, as DeMar DeRozan is still on the roster and he has been very durable for his entire career.

But the Kings, being in tank mode, should hand the keys to Murray and the rest of the team’s youngsters, including Nick Clifford, Devin Carter and Maxime Renaud, so they can at least get an idea of ​​the talent they have.
