Marc Stein's NBA Power Rankings for today's opening of training camps has the Sacramento Kings ranked 25th out of 30 teams, ahead of only the Hawks, 76ers, Clippers, Pacers and Timberwolves. I think that this is little pessimistic. Based on Theus kicking ass and taking names in the locker room and, unlike Musselman, instituting some semblance of a real offense, I am predicting that the Kings will be 18th in the Power Ranking at the end of November, still out of the top 16 needed to make the playoffs.
