Former Sacramento Kings general manager, head coach, and broadcaster Jerry Reynolds joined The Drive Guys on Thursday afternoon to discuss their disappointing start to the 2025-26 NBA season.
Outlining where their current shortcomings fall, mainly centered around roster construction rather than placing blame on head coach Doug Christie.
“He’s got a roster that’s kind of, honestly, unbalanced,” Reynolds said. “You could motivate five guards sky high, and they’re still gonna get their butts beat.”
Given that reality, where do they go from here? How long would it take for the Sacramento Kings to re-tool or even rebuild?
