One of the NBA’s pleasant surprises of the 2022-23 season has been the Sacramento Kings. And at the front of the team’s push toward its first postseason appearance in 17 years is Domantas Sabonis.
Indeed, in its 6-foot-11-inch power forward, the Kings have an inside presence who can do it all – score, rebound, play defense and pass. And teamed with young point guard De’Aaron Fox, the 26-year-old Lithuanian gives the team a solid nucleus around which to build for years to come.
As of early December, the son of Basketball Hall of Famer Arvydas Sabonis was posting very solid numbers – 17 points per game on
60.9 percent shooting to go with 11 rebounds (sixth in the league) and 6.6 assists. But beyond that, he does a lot of other things that don’t show up in box scores.
His dribble handoffs have become a main feature of the Sacramento offense, and the team scores more points on the dribble handoff than any other in the league. He’s also a smart enough decision maker to know when not to deploy that play. And he’s one of the best post scorers in the NBA, one that almost always requires a double team, which often leads to wide open shots for the Kings.
Best of all, his unselfish play has made his teammates better, which is a hallmark of a playoff team. That’s what the Kings appear to be, something they haven’t been able to say since 2005-06.
Sabonis and the Kings can be seen in action Wednesday, Jan. 11, when they play host to the Houston Rockets in the late game of an ESPN doubleheader.
