The Sacramento Kings have three players who are under the most pressure to show progress in the upcoming 2018-19 NBA season.

When the new NBA season begins, different players will have different expectations to reach. Some will be trying to cement their legacy in history, while some others will be trying to prove that they belong in the league.

For the Sacramento Kings, there will be many young players who will strive to make a name for themselves. Among those are a few guys who need to urgently establish themselves as reliable NBA players.

This next group of players are youngsters who may be on the hot seat if they don’t show significant progress in the upcoming season. Although they haven’t been in the NBA for a long time, the next three Kings’ player are under pressure to show improvement as quickly as possible.

It may seem unfair to set such high expectations for these young players, but that’s the nature of the business. If the following players don’t live up to the pressure in 2018-19, there could be somebody waiting in line to take their job.
