I've seen a lot of people lately say the same thing. Multiple people on Lowe's podcast recently have said similar things.

That we would be one of the teams everyone wants to face in the first round for various reasons, no star power, no one believes are real.

Just to be fair, our losses have mostly been to good teams and we have beaten a lot of beat up teams and bad teams.

Just have to keep winning, that's it.

Zion and BI aren’t star power?

I’d think we were dangerous simply because we have an extremely deep lineup who can generally guard anyone. And that is before we see what Zion et all do in the playoffs when it isn’t the grind of the regular season.

Go through the list of the top 10 teams in the West

You can really only find 1 team you'd be unequivocally confident that other teams would rather face than us, the Kings.

Even down to the Mavs, Lakers, and Warriors. Every top team would rather face us than those 3 teams, and I don't blame them. They have better players, stars are what win in the playoffs. Until we prove our dude or dudes are indeed stars on that level, why would teams fear us more than just about every other team?

And OKC and Minnesota are like us in that they haven't done much winning but they're better than us this season, and again, have the better star until proven otherwise.
