Mitchell averaged 18.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.5 steals per game; Tatum averaged 15.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1 block per game; Sabonis averaged 12.6 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.9 assists; Hield averaged 13 points.
From a data perspective, the Kings' rookies haven't made significant progress compared to last season. In fact, players like Mitchell have regressed, but a player's strength is never just about the stats.
To put it simply, the value of data is different when winning and losing, and the data produced against strong teams versus weak teams are not the same.
Last season's Kings were a weak team, but this season's Kings are clearly not a weak team anymore.
The Blazers ranked fourth with 53 wins.
The Rockets ranked fifth with 53 wins.
Harden averaged 36.1 points per game.
