That seemed like the projected lineup before the Kings signed Hayes. Paul Westphal likes veteran leadership on the floor, and John Salmons wouldn't be able to carry that by himself. The problem with starting Hickson (besides his average defensive skills) is that he isn't the Kings' prized...
This is my projection:
PG - Tyreke Evans
SG - Marcus Thornton
SF - John Salmons
PF - Demarcus Cousins
C - Chuck Hayes
It looks a lot brighter than last years starting lineup. Here's hoping for the 8th seed this year.
