of course the kings need an upgrade at starting PF. i don't dispute that fact. but i'm not talking about this theoretical PF. i'm talking about the kings' finding answers to some of their very obvious problems RIGHT NOW, in an attempt to salvage some measure of confidence heading into the offseason. and i don't know what games you're watching, but thompson has steadied himself a lot since his early seasons. he's rarely out of control anymore, and could hardly be called "spasmodic" at this stage of his career. ****, he shoots one of the better percentage on the team (.494). he also averages 6.1 rebounds per game in only 27 minutes. that's 12.3 rebounds per 48, in case you were wondering. those aren't elite per 48 rebounding numbers, but they're certainly nothing to sleep on. i'd take that, and his hustle, over ANY variation of a smallball lineup ANY day of the week. and i do mean ANY...

by the way, thompson's controlled play, 8 pts on 4-4 shooting, and 7 rebounds in the first quarter against detroit have so far corroborated my insistence...

Not sure how much more of this I can take.

I'll have to search. I think it was a recent after game interview. Probably on the Kings website.
