Bench
This is a King's overviw from a fantasy magazine that i've been getting the last couple years, i just went and bought it today, and I this is what it says. (The mag focuses mostly on player rankings but also has some infor about actual nba and not just fantsay basketball...There not too credible, last year they though we would go the finals, and lose in 7 games to the pacer. they also thought corliss would averga eover 9 pts a game.
"King's at a Glance"
.Sacramento's record was 25-17, when Kenny Thomas played 30 or more minutes. Conversley, they were 10-17 when SAR played itleast 30 minutes. Reef has a chance to impress a new coach, but Eric's choice at he four should be an easy one.
"Three Key Takeaways"
.New head coach E.M.'s system probably helps out ron and kevin the most, while mike isn't an ideal fit.
.we don't think the regime chnage does anything for sar. Kenny Thomas is still the starter at the 4.
.Ron is happy for now, but we dont know if it will work long-term under Muss, a similar coach to Carlisle.
"Team Overview"
If you've read this mag in the past, you know what we think of Ron: a guy this good at both ends of the court is worth the risk everytime. The good news is that hes running with two other potential all stars in mike and brad. The bad news is the decision to can head coach adelman. We like new coach muss just fine, but the system adelman had installed was not only effective, but so unique that it gave them a tactical advantage most nights. Maybe Muss will do just fine, but if we were the kings we wouldn't have been interested in finding out.
"The Rotation"
PG- Mike still falls into the underated category. He can get Sacto into their offense, and he's deadly from the outside. But he'll probably be hurt a little bit in Muss' system. Bibby isn't really an uptempo pg , and he's medicore defensively. We wouldn't be surprised to see him regress this season....Jason Hart should benefit from the new system, certanly not enough to think about challeneging Bibby for minutes, but he should be more uselful than he was last season.
SG- We like the cut of Kevin Martin's jib, even though were not entirely sure what a jib is. The pride of Western Carolina averaged 13.7 while shooting .511 percent from the field, in his 41 starts last year, and saw a lot of minutes in their first round playoff season. He's likely a starter, with bonzi unlikely to retun, and we like the fact that martin attacket the basket and got to the line this summer...john can run the point if they need him to, or he can pay either gurad spot. and unlike in philly he might even get the chance to shoot the ball sometimes. salmos should be on of the leagues top sixth men. Quincy give them a combo quard who can light it up. If douby can learn to play the point, he could have an impact off the bench as a rookie....Francisco just didnt look comfortable as a rookie...and looked even worse this summer.
SF- Ron was just fine after arriving in Sacto last year. If artest didn't like playing for Carlisle, we're not sure how hell cope under a similar coach in MUsselman. We don't excpect things to stay this dull with artest forever....Holy crap, is Corliss Williamson still around.
PF- Kenny took a hold of the starting job last year and didnt look back. With the new coaching staff coming in, pretty much every role is up for grabs. But considering how well thomas played last year, and how much more he gives the kings on the boards, we have to think hell take the starting job and the majority of the minutes at the four again... We're not sure whats going on with SAR, but he prety much looked awful last year ina system that normally makes everyone look much better than they actually are. So ya he'll have a chance to retake his starting job from thomas, but we dont see how its going to happen. AFter being banished to the bench last year, reef averaged a pretty miserable 9.7 and 4.0 in over 21.7 minutes.
C- Brad continues to post the best all around numbers of any center. The way shaq is fading, miller and yao will probably battle for th mantle of top fantasy center. Although playing in Muss' system, we're not sure he'll put up the same assist numbers he did in ricks system...it just wouldnt be an nba season without the ukraine train vitaly potapenko.
"SPOTLIGHT"
Brekout - Kevin MArtin will get evry chnace to step into the starting lineup. He came into the league as a shooter, but hes devloping into a scorer. the kings are going to make sure he attacks the basket and get to the line.
He's Done - SAR just didnt put up much of a fight last year after lsing his starting job. and with the new head coach putting an emphasis on defense, we dont see how thomas doesnt get the call again this year.
Other notes: it says brad will make the all-nba third team
The kings might end up regretting the firing of adelman, but head coahc em should be solid as the new guy. and theres still enough talent for sacto to be dangerous in the postseaosn.
they say well finish third in the pacific and 7th in the west, where well go on to face the spurs this time losing in only 5 games.
