Kings Roster

What Kings' starting lineup, rotation might look like this season

The Kings’ schedule for the 2024-25 NBA season officially was released by the league Thursday.

A big-name NBA superstar joined the Kings this offseason, and the expectations now follow.

DeMar DeRozan will team up with De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis in Sacramento as the young and hungry Kings seek a playoff return after a frustrating end to the 2023-24 NBA season.

The Kings also drafted Devin Carter, re-signed beloved sixth man Malik Monk and 7-foot center Alex Len, and, perhaps most importantly, agreed to a three-year contract extension with coach Mike Brown.

With the notable additions and moves came a handful of goodbyes, including parting ways with veteran leader Harrison Barnes, young guard Davion Mitchell, EuroLeague phenom Sasha Vezenkov and others.

Kings general manager Monte McNair and Co. kept busy this summer, but was it enough to survive against the best in the West? Here’s how Sacramento’s roster is shaping up for 2024-25:

Point guards 

De’Aaron Fox 
Colby Jones
Jordan McLaughlin
Boogie Ellis
Devin Carter

Shooting guards

Kevin Huerter
Malik Monk
Keon Ellis
Brodric Thomas

Small forwards 

DeMar DeRozan
Jalen McDaniels

Power forwards

Keegan Murray
Trey Lyles
Terry Taylor

Centers 

Domantas Sabonis
Alex Len
Orlando Robinson
Skal Labissiere

Two-way contracts

Mason Jones
Isaac Jones
Isaiah Crawford

NBA teams can carry up to 21 players during the offseason before they must trim things down to 18 for the regular season (15 standard roster sports and three two-way contracts).

The big question looming over Brown and the Kings’ staff is who will earn the starting two-guard spot alongside Fox. 

Two seasons ago, after becoming Sacramento's new coach, Brown was put in a similar difficult position. At the time, Huerter and Monk – both new Kings guards – competed for the starting spot.

Ultimately, Huerter had the edge over Monk, who still thrived in his role off the bench as the sixth man over the past two seasons.

Entering the 2024-25 season, Monk again is competing for the starting job – but likely against a new guard. Keon Ellis took the NBA world by storm last season, but his rise is more than a feel-good story. Ellis, who was on a two-way contract just a few months ago after going undrafted in 2022, has a real shot at becoming an NBA starter with the Kings.

Huerter had the worst statistical season of his career last season, and a shoulder injury cut his campaign short. The sharpshooter recently was cleared for on-court workouts and will be re-evaluated in mid-October before being cleared for full-contact court activity.

While it would make more sense for Monk or Ellis to take over the top shooting guard role, Brown has been adamant about his belief in Huerter, despite the guard’s struggles, and opportunities arose for Ellis only after Huerter’s season-ending surgery.

It will take some time for Huerter to ramp up and be a full-go anyway, but don’t count out Huerter being a possible starting option again down the line once he’s fully healthy.

The rest of the Kings’ starting lineup seems clear. Along with the guards should be DeRozan, Murray and Sabonis.

Of course, the first player coming off the bench will vary on a game-to-game basis, but typically, it should be either Monk or Ellis (whoever isn't starting). After that, Huerter, Lyles and Len should provide some backup depth.

Both Colby Jones and Mason Jones could be sleeper impact players at times, too, along with Carter, who will be out with a shoulder injury until at least mid-January.

The rest is up in the air, but that's exactly why training camp exists. Players will aim to prove they deserve a roster spot for the regular season and, even more, a chance to showcase they can impact winning in Sacramento.

It all begins Tuesday. Buckle up, Kings fans.
