"Musselman and his coaching staff joined the Kings organization this summer with the departure of Rick Adelman, who coached the Kings for eight years. With a reputation for hard work and intensity, Musselman said he's been excited since August about start of the season. Players appear ready too.
"I've been surprised at the consistent effort of everyone whose come in here and worked," Musselman said. He said he was impressed at how many "stayed in town and worked on their game."
He cited an example just from Monday night. "I happened to come into the office at 9 to do some work. turned on my light, the gym lights were on, opened my window and there was 10 players playing full court -- at night -- organized by Ron Artest!"
Musselman said summer league was a great opportunity to see some of the younger players in action. One weakness has been at the back-up point guard position and Musselman said he was encouraged to see rookie draft pick Quincy Douby's skills at point.
As for who would fill the two guard role position Bonzi Wells played, the coach said that was still evolving. He looks for the training camp performances of Kevin Martin, Francisco Garcia and John Salmons to provide an answer.
Musselman said an emphasis on defense is something opponents and fans can look for on the Kings in the coming season. "We just want to try to have our defense create some offense," he said."
