The Sacramento Kings were in the market to make some moves during the NBA offseason. They have two players they want to move on from in Marvin Bagley III and Buddy Hield. But, as we head into the second week of the season, both are still with the team.

Hield has made 12 3-pointers through three games, surpassing the franchise record for 3-pointers that was previously held by Peja Stojakovic. But, it is fair to question how many more makes he will have while wearing a Sacramento Kings jersey.
