Kings Player Rankings Revisited

I posted player rankings 10 days ago, and I thought I would revisit it to see what has changed since then.

 

The quick answer: a lot, including Kevin Martin's injury and the emergence of some of the players.

 

Rankings followed by player and projected minutes per game. Previous rankings and minutes in parentheses:

1. Thompson 34 (2, 34) Young fella is becoming a double-double machine. Heart of the team.
2. Evans 32 (4, 30) Starting to get it together. Top ROY candidate. Learning to get his AND make team better.

3. Udrih 32 (8, 10) Making a fan even out of the most hardboiled cynic. Great QB and playing solid D.

4. Nocioni 28 (6, 22) Solid vet making presence felt.

5. Hawes 28 (5, 28) Quietly settling into role player status.

6. Casspi 24 (3, 30) Westphal pushing all the right buttons with bright young star.
7. Udoka 20 (unranked) New player adds defensive edge without being a zero on offense.

8. Greene 16 (12, 4) Recent play puts him back in the mix, adds physical presence to bench.
9. May 10 (9, 8) Still the top bench option to back up JT and Hawes.
10. Thomas 8 (13, 0) Has fought his way out of the doghouse and into backup PF minutes.

11. Brockman 4 (10, 8) Entertaining hustler who will be a second quarter-garbage time delight.
12. Rodriguez 4 (11, 8) Starting to play better in limited minutes.

Injured list:

* Martin (1, 40). Are the Kings a better team without Kevin?

* Garcia (didn't mention him last time).

 

Waived

* Mason (7, 18). Became too much of an offensive liability. Udoka a better option.

i am kind of worried

That we play too well with out k-speed. I love k-speed to death, but maybe its time to turn the team over to evans? IDK i know it’s only been 2 games but still….But if this cont. does anything feel K-Speeds time in Sac-town may have come to an end? Does anyone else want to see Reke and Amre together? Or Reke and David Lee? What about Chris Bosh? Then we draft Wall….Again i know it’s only 2 games But…just making me think

Shadow Chicken

You have a fantastic screen name, but the things you are saying are dumb.

Plus, it’s pretty hard to get the #1 draft pick when you’re in the MOTHER EFFING PLAYOFFS!!! WOO WOO WOOOOO!!!…. ummm… who’s with me?

I think we should make that a daily award.

Though yesterday it would have been a five-way tie.

The draft lottery has reinforced my belief that there are not enough bad words in the English language.

Ha I'll consider it

I’m definitely adding a “Player of the Week” thing though.

Looks like Westphal

went with the top 9 of this rotation last night, except that Kenny Thomas is ahead of May on his depth chart.
