Who was the "Tough Guy" on the CWebb, Vlade, Peja, Christie, Bibby, BobbyJ, Hedo and Pollard team?
I know Doug gave Rick Fox a nice upper cut to his smarmy chin. While a good defender, DC was not an enforcer type. BobbyJ would get in the paint and rebound with the Trees. But while tough, not a match for Ben Wallace.
Brad Miller came along in 03-04. But was not your prototypical "Tough Guy".
IMO it was not until 05-06 until the Kings got a couple of "Tough Guys" in Ron Ron and Bonzi. But that team was not as good as the CWebb led team.
I think maybe what we are looking for here is intestinal fortitude, better known as guts. Cowboys call it sand. Those 02-03 Kings had sand.
It would be nice to have someone that could set a mean pick. Maybe some patience, time to grow and some time in the weight room will give the current young Kings squad the toughness to shed the label of "soft" that is being hung on them?
