Best player on the Kings

Doesn’t best player also mean that you also improve your teammates?

I think that would be your MVP.

You're best player is the one with the best stats (most production). Best offensive player is Kevin Martin. Best defensive player is Ron Artest. 2nd best offensive player is Ron Artest so that makes him our best overall player.

A case for team MVP could be made for Brad or Ron. Since Brad is 1st in rebounding and blocks, 2nd in assists and 3rd in scoring on the team. While Ron is 1st in steals, 2nd in scoring, 2nd in assists, 3rd in rebounding. Meanwhile Kevin leads in offensive categories 1st in scoring, free throw attempts and ft %. His defense (rebounding, blocks, steals) however is subpar-par on a subpar defensive team.

My question is this, Other? How can you objectively select other? What? Kenny Thomas is the Kings best player RIGHT NOW? or SAR? Oh, my bad, that's right, we just picked up Anthony Johnson...nevermind.

What if you think that the best player on the team is a liability, and that, on the balance, some lesser players are more of assets?

Then the whole question becomes kind of meaningless, so you pick "other."

Agree. Ron has none of those qualities, and I feel he hurts the team in that aspect.. But I have to admit that our best player is Ron..

Now if it was a poll on who our best "team player" was Ron would rank next to last, because frankly Ron sucks as a team player.

?? So, "nobody" is the best player on the Kings right now?

If the whole question becomes meaningless to you, you don't make a selection. I believe "other" in this sense refers to any other Kings player that is not listed in the selections, thus my post. I just found it humorous that somebody might actually think of KT, SAR, or any other scrub not listed on the options as the "best player."

I can't speak for the OP, but I assume they were just trying to gauge who Kings fans thought of as the "best" player.

I went with Miller...

Wow has he ever redeemed himself this season. I dont think Brad's been this good since we first got him. (sell high Petrie!) Miller has just been really consistant too.

Artest a close second despite the fact that sometimes he kills the offense (but for every one of those games there's one where he just dominates).

I went with Miller, too. Ron is clearly the most skilled and athletic player on the team, but I chose to vote for who I think is the best player on the team for the good of the team.

Sure. Tyronn Lue's empty roster spot. Instrumental to our rebuild, and pretty much everyone agrees that we could use a couple more just like that. So I have no problem with voting for nobody as best.

The "best player" on our team is by far Kevin Martin imo. But as for who's playing the best right now, I said Udrih, he's played great since the Bibby trade. Miller comes a close second
