Two well-respected NBA analysts joined Sactown Sports Thursday ahead of the Sacramento Kings’ return to the court following the All-Star break to talk about the team’s success and how they could stay successful for the remainder of the season.

First, Andrew “Combo” Salop, of the Combo’s Court podcast, joined Deuce and Mo Thursday to talk about all things basketball. Topics discussed include:

  • Not being surprised by the team’s success this season
  • If the Kings’ style of basketball can keep them within the top six of the NBA’s Western Conference
  • What’s jumped out about De’Aaron Fox’s game this year compared to years past
  • Why Keegan Murray is going to be a “winning playoff player.”
  • The favorite to come out of the Western Conference
