‘ boots as the starting point guard? Was Nik Stauskas the right choice with the eighth selection of the draft?

These are just a couple of the questions that Kings fans should get closer to receiving answers from with preseason play, but there are other story lines to play out too. One of which is going to be, can any of the Kings four non-guaranteed training camp invitees make the full roster?

The men competing in camp for their chance to play in the NBA are Sim Bhullar, Deonte Burton, David Wear and Trey Johnson.
