Vitaly's productivity is stellar. One rebound per season is terrific of Vitaly. Usually all he does is take up a bit of space but the fact he grabbed a board is amazing.

Time to Break 'em up.

Kevin Martin's three-point % is better than Justin's FT%.

"Corliss Williamson has scored 62% more points than Kenny Thomas, but has never started."

I know there has been plenty of talk about The Poodle and his suckitude.. Any thoughts as to why he is still starting in place of The Reefer or Big Nasty.

As a traditional big Shareef supporter, it's hard to say it, but Shareef hasn't impressed this year either, to be honest. The stats may show him as better than the poodle, but it'd be hard not to be. Michael Jordan at age 65 could outscore and outrebound that guy.

Kings-obsessed. A's obsessed. More ramblings: louisgray.com

I agree with Louis

and I would actually go as far as to say Shareef has been a major disappointment since he's been here. Infact, he's probably the biggest disappointment, for me, in recent memory. Maybe I just expected so much more from him when we first got him.

Re: I agree with Louis

Yes, I thought he'd bring more as well. With that said, he should still start over KT. It's really not even close in terms of talent. KT is just plain awful.

The deal with Reef is that he has to have the ball to be effective. At least, unlike Artest, he's pretty good at only shooting the shots of which he makes a decent percentage - those around the basket. But, he doesn't pass that well out of the double-team, and he doesn't really have very good court vision. He knees have clearly taken away a lot of his former athleticism as is displayed in his lack of rebounding.

As much as we all bitch about KT, it does seem that he not getting a lot of minutes these days. He starts but never finishes. Crunch time minutes go to Reef and Corlis - or if we are going small to Garcia and Salmons. At least that's my perception. I'm not much a stats guy, so I don't know their exact minutes.

Re: I agree with Louis

I think you can trace that due to the lack of inconsistent minutes he receives. I think Shareef had the expectations of coming to Sacramento and receiving a lot of minutes and most of the minutes in crunch time. On any given night, the Kings can have a different line-up out on the floor and it may or may not include Rahim.
