Summary

It is difficult to make too many concrete observations after two weeks oh the NBA season, but one alarming trend to me is 3pt attempts and percentage. The game continues to move away from the basket. Do you like that, because I don't! If you are a Sacramento Kings fans there are two things you should be concerned about. The first is point differential. The Kings have a minus 2.8 in that department. That is not good! Generally speaking all playoff teams are in the green at the end of the season. The other is DeAaron Fox and his poor play. You can be an optimist and say the Kings are 3-3 despite his poor start, or you can wonder if he will ever be a consistent shooter. Currently I would choose the latter as the biggest concern!
