On the latest edition of Return of the Roar podcast, Chris Watkins and Frankie Cartoscelli discussed the past week of Sacramento Kings action, including Trey Lyles’ 15-point fourth-quarter effort during Wednesday’s win over the Houston Rockets, the latest All-Star voting results, Keegan Murray’s elite shooting, and much more!

Also: Is it time to believe that the Kings can finish the season as a top-six team in the Western Conference?

Topics Discussed:

  • Trey Lyles and the Kings turn the jets on late against the Rockets
  • De’Aaron Fox jumps into the top-10 in All-Star voting–but does he have a legit chance of making the team?
  • If the final All-Star spot comes down to Devin Booker, Damian Lillard, or Fox, who has the best shot?
  • Keegan Murray has been drilling three-pointers at a red-hot pace, but it’s his rebounding that has been turning heads over the past week
  • Domantas Sabonis’ dominance continues. Is he already the best big that the Kings have ever had?
  • Sacramento is 4th in the Western Conference and 1st in the Pacific Division, with about half of the season in the books. Can they sustain this level of play?
  • Awards 🏆 🥤
