that is about what Keven averaged last year as a starter. I think you will see him in the 17ppg 5rb 3ast range. Shareef will get alot of points when ppl double on Ron down low.

SAR isn't a stand-out or good rebounder, but he would get more than 4 if he's starting. But also depends on how many minutes he'd get.

KT I bet will start anyways.

Oh my you and I disagree on something. this could be a first. KT will not earn a starting spot under Musselman. Same way he didn't with Adleman. KT fit well with Bonzi in the lineup. But with the perimeter game of Martin you will need another post up guy. Ron Artest can't be the only Post player on the starting lineup. the aformentioned lineup gives a nice mixture of Post and Perimeter game. Now how the rotations work I don't know. But you need Shareef in the game if Martin is on the floor. Remeber how well they worked together in Game 2 of the San Antonio series.

If SAR's going to get starter minutes (34-35+ minutes a game), I'd expect in the 8 area as well. He got 8 the last time he was a starter all season, which was in 02-03. Since, he's been mixed starting and bench, thus the lower numbers.

I'm not siding towards one or the other, but the reason I said I bet KT will start, is from what I've gathered through various articles and interviews. Musselman likes KT's quickness and athleticism on both ends of the floor and what that brings. In one of the interviews, he didn't say who would be starting, and that was during July so he could of been being diplomatic, or not.

Myself, I'm fine with either starting at PF. But, what actually happens with the starting PF spot is up in the air, and specifically to what KT's situation overall will be.

Yah but he is a solid rebounder so I don't know what your sayin, he averaged over ten in Philly.
I don't know why theres so much hate on Thomas, his defensive rebounding is huge for us,
people are just upset that he dosen't block shots, well either does any of our other players, seems like people try and make Thomas the scapegoat.

I have found it isn't very smart to judge players by their previous years as they seem to change from year to year especially if they workout and try as oppoosed to not working out. Especially if they have had good seasons in the past.

the problem is that we need better than him

I'm pretty sure needing better then you have is a main problem in life that the Kings just aren't going through. The reality is most likely were not going to get better them him. So you look at his positives, he brings rebounding, he is athletic, sometimes you just have to respect what you got while you got it.

Brad has the potential to be our best rebounder but its unfortunate he has no passion to grab rebounds.

Wrong. Brad has passion but just isn't capable of jumping.

Oh and Reef will not avg 4 rebounds. He avg more than that off the bench last year. When healthy, i see him grabbing around 7-8 rebounds a game starting.
