Another young starting lineup belongs in Sacramento. After owning some of the higher draft picks over the last few seasons, the Kings have put out a relatively young lineup. De'Aaron Fox is one of the quickest point guards in the league and has found his rhythm offensively. He is the only name averaging 20 points per game this season for Sacramento. Harrison Barnes continues to pick up starts no matter where he is playing as he is one of two players picking up 60+ starts for this Kings team. The other is Nemanja Bjelica who has seen major time because of the healthy of Marvin Bagley. On occasion, we have also seen Richaun Holmes make starts and play quite well in Bagley's absence. The final name is Buddy Hield who averages over 30 minutes per game and has 44 starts at shooting guard this season.
The Sacramento Kings starters are made up of De’Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield, Harrison Barnes, Nemanja Bjelica, and Richaun Holmes. With Marvin Bagley done for the season, Holmes has stepped into the starting role. Fox and Hield have been the usual backcourt duo.
Sacramento has had 20 games with the starting lineup of Harrison Barnes, Nemanja Bjelica, Buddy Hield, Richaun Holes, and Cory Joseph. The reason for Joseph starting was Fox missed about 20 games due to injury which led to Joseph starting.
De’Aaron Fox has made 43 starts this season after making 81 last season and 60 in his rookie year. Fox missed about 20 games with an injury and the shortened season will also not help his overall total starts.
De’Aaron Fox is the leading scorer among the Sacramento Kings starting five. He has averaged 20.4 points per game. Fox does not shoot threes all that often and gets most of his points at the rim or from inside the three-point line.
Harrison Barnes has been the worst starter on the Sacramento Kings as he doesn’t bring much to the table on offense or defense. Barnes has floated around the league the last few seasons picking up minutes but is always in a secondary role.
Despite being the worst starter on the Sacramento Kings, Harrison Barnes has averaged 34.9 minutes per game which is the most of any of the starters. Sacramento opts to rotate their guards more than Barnes.
Nemanja Bjelica has averaged 28.5 minutes per game, which is the fewest among the starters. Bjelica will sometimes give away minutes as the Kings go to a smaller rotation where Barnes moves to power forward, and they slip another guard in.
