The Kings achieved a ten-game winning streak at the start, directly breaking the best start in team history.
The drive of Tatum and Mitchell, the experience of Guy and Little Gasol, the coordination of Beverly and Anderson, and of course, Hansen's pivotal role.
The Kings, just like last season, are still a young team, but their growth rate is astonishing.
At this point, people can't help but discuss whether the Kings' rookies were inherently outstanding or if it was Hansen's arrival that made them excel further.
Soon, the latter view gained ground because the changes in both the Grizzlies and the Cavaliers proved that Hansen is the kind of core player who can truly make his teammates better.
However, when this question was posed to Hansen, his answer was straightforward: "Because they were already excellent!"
Hansen knew the potential of the players he picked.
What he does is quite similar to what he did at the Cavaliers, merely accelerating their growth.
