Impossibly difficult Kings questions!

[NoBonus]

Here are my impossibly difficult Kings questions, they are all along the same theme and all refer ONLY to the SACRAMENTO-era Kings: Who were the Kings players who played the shortest amount of time for the Kings?

a. Which player was on the roster for the shortest amount of time chronologically before being traded or released due to normal, end of year, free-agency(excluding short-term contract players and early season free agents who are on those provisional contracts)? Could it be Michael Bradley?

b. Which player had the largest percentage ratio of games missed due to actual injury/total games on roster (excluding short-term contract players and early season free agents who are on those provisional contracts)? Could it be Jerome James or Pervis<sp> Ellison?

c. Which player was on the roster for the shortest amount of time (excluding pre-season games)?

d. Which players have played for the Kings more than once (ie, The Big Nasty)?


Thanks for helping me with my afternoon wondering!

Good luck!

What's the difference between a. and c.?

 

[uolj]

I believe a. excludes guys on 10-day contracts that leave after the 10 days. They have to be traded or have their regular contract expire at the end of the season.

As for d., I can think of Otis Thorpe.

 

[NoBonus]

a. refers to regular, contracted players under full-year contracts and c. refers to players under any sort of contract be it provision or temporary.

 

[VF21]

Well, then the answer to c. would be any and all players who were signed for single 10-day contacts which were not, for whatever reason, renewed?

As for d., I can think of Otis Thorpe.

There are 4. Otis Thorpe, Tyronne Corbin, Billy Owens, And Corliss Williamson.

Darn it, slug, I knew that one.

I think B is Ralph Sampson. Or Frank Brickowski?

 

[Gargamel]

For b, I'm going Causewell.

For b, wasn't Brent Price pretty much injured the entire 2 years he was on the roster? I don't think he played more than maybe 2 games without legitimately being on IL. Poor guy could shoot but had bad knees.

Darn it, slug, I knew that one.

I knew I heard it from somewhere.
