The Sacramento Kings should be a team on the rise in 2015-16. DeMarcus Cousins is arguably the best center in the NBA. Rajon Rondo is an accomplished point guard who will get the ball to his teammates where they want it. Rookie Willie Cauley-Stein could quickly become one of the best defensive bigs in the game. And Marco Belinelli is apparently the living embodiment of fire, if Monday night's preseason win over the Portland Trail Blazers was any indication:

Watch as Belinelli destroyed Portland and the net, turning it on late to lead the Kings to the victory. Sure, it's just the preseason. But Belinelli showed off just how much his spacing could mean for Sacramento this season -- and why coach George Karl might have to find more room in his rotation for the man who won a title with the San Antonio Spurs last season.
