Boasting a top-10 scoring offense while averaging over 114 points per game during the 2018-19 season, Sacramento's high-powered attack saw a renaissance with De'Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Marvin Bagley III leading the way.

As the team tipped-off its preseason campaign in India against the Pacers, the young core looked to maintain that prowess while adding knew wrinkles from the Luke Walton-led schemes.

Sure enough, the offense continued to click as the purple and black dropped 131 points in their first preseason tilt, while catching the eye of former 76ers exec and creator of Cleaning the Glass basketball analytics website Ben Falk.

"Some clever Xs and Os from the Kings in their first preseason game," wrote Falk to start a thread of highlights breaking down the team's offensive performance.



Some clever Xs and Os from the Kings in their first preseason game. For example, instead of a standard double drag where one screener pops and the other rolls, they rolled the non-shooter into a screen for the shooter, like this. pic.twitter.com/Ly6g0aPsP7 — Ben Falk (@bencfalk) October 8, 2019

From "drag screens" to "hammer sets" watch as Ben shares examples of how the Kings offense can continue to be a powerhouse in the coming season below:



More fun Kings goodies from their first preseason game. A couple of nifty Hammer sets. First this one to open the preseason with a bunch of misdirection to start and ends in a wiiiide open three. pic.twitter.com/DQeKKPmdAD — Ben Falk (@bencfalk) October 8, 2019



And then this one: Pistol Hammer. The guard needs to read the back side because it's likely that the Hammer screen won't even be set if the defense reacts to the pistol action in this way, but it's very likely to spring someone open there. pic.twitter.com/6TVDsY7iat — Ben Falk (@bencfalk) October 8, 2019



Here's a set from the Kings with some good initial movement into a middle PNR, but then the part I like is that they add something else on top of it: instead of rolling, Bagley goes to screen for Bogdanovic. pic.twitter.com/Z5g0EVskfu — Ben Falk (@bencfalk) October 8, 2019



A clever ATO from Sacramento: it looks like a fairly standard set with two down screens on the weak side, and then Bogdanovic curls off the first one and Bjelica, the second screener, pops out. That's a tweak that's become pretty common. But it's all a decoy. Watch Bogdanovic. pic.twitter.com/YkahDjJGZv — Ben Falk (@bencfalk) October 8, 2019
