Sacramento Kings: Midseason Grades

Starting off with the positive, there are two big reasons for the Kings having 15 wins this season: DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay. The pair has combined for an average of 44.2 points per game, 18.6 rebounds per game, and 2.1 blocks per game.

In addition to the big numbers the pair has been putting up night in and night out, the team has actually posted a 13-10 record when the pair has played together. Major respect given to Rudy and Big Cuz!

But how about the four-spot, where the Kings have started five different players (Jason Thompson, Derrick Williams, Ryan Hollins, Carl Landry, and Reggie Evans)?

It seems like the only real chance the Kings have of starting a viable power forward is if they call Dr. Pepper, borrow the recipe, and put all their flavors of power forward together into one player. Each of these players brings something unique to the Kings, but I think we would be hard-pressed in finding another team in the NBA to start one of ours, especially in the high-powered West.
