Kings' Young Bigs Making Blocks | Sacramento Kings News

Sacramento’s young bigs are rewriting the script: Dylan Cardwell and Maxime Raynaud are dominating the rookie block charts, with Cardwell’s 67 swats (third in the league) and Raynaud’s 39 (tied for eighth) proving their rim-protecting potential. Cardwell’s impact was especially vital when Sabonis was sidelined, sealing wins with game-changing blocks — including a viral moment against the Pelicans. Raynaud, at 7’1”, still needs defensive polish but dazzles offensively, earning Rookie of the Month and All-Rookie Second Team honors thanks to his smooth game and early chemistry with Westbrook. Together, they’re building a foundation for a more competitive Kings team — if they can elevate their defense, they could be the catalyst for consistent wins.
