Sarunas looks like Beno after P-90x
Sarunas Marciulionis is your 45th Greatest Sacramento King of All-Time. Marciulionis was a pioneer for Europeans in the NBA, one of the first to receive major playing time in the league. He only played with the Kings for a season, but they did make the playoffs that year.
HOW TO VOTE:
Voting is done via the comment section. To vote, simply add a comment with the name of the person you would like to vote for. Feel free to explain your vote if you wish, or not. If you are a lurker who doesn't post much, this could be a good opportunity to create an account (it is super easy and completely free) and start interacting with the community. Voting ends at midnight (Pacific Time) so get your comments in before then. Any votes after that will not count. You also may not switch your vote after you have voted.
When voting feel free to use any criteria you wish in your evaluation, but only take into account a player's career as a Sacramento King. If a player you want to vote for isn't on the poll, feel free to mention him in the comments to be added.

Please Explain: Top Hat
When I first started lurking around here I didn’t know who Top Hat was… eventually I saw some weird photoshopped Landry pic that let me know, but I never figured out why he has that name.
This thread will help you out on this one

Thanks 5thMookie! But… I don’t think that explains where Top Hat came from… just random weidness from the Jedi dude?

Photoshop / GIF idea
make that button that Paul is wearing be the same picture. And it zooms in on the button and it becomes the whole picture and it zooms in on the button and it…

We really need a season so that I can get back to Photoshoppin'.
Perhaps then I’d up my comment ratio to more than 1 per 3-4 months.
m*****f***ing c***s***ing peanut butter and jelly!! f*** f*** f***!!!
Jim Jackson
While Landry was a far superior meme, Jackson was the more important player, and for a much better team.

Joe Kleine for #50!
Because Olden Polynice says so.

Jim Jackson
won’t forget how he kept fighting in Dallas after Webb went down, while a lot of the rest of the team seemed to just fold.
Cuttino
Jackson, Thornton, Kleine next

Wow
I forgot all about Krazy Keon and that he averaged 2 blocks in 22 minutes. That’s impressive but i’m gonna vote for Top Hat again. Free Spencer

Blocks
Easy to rack ’em up even when drunk as hell!
Imagine if Keon was motivated, sober and happy. Would have caused some serious damage…
Very sad story that.
I believe he’s currently in jail and has been for the last few years.

My favorite memory of Keon
is him hitting two separate game winners against the Dallas Mavericks in that season.

Hell yeah!
At my In Laws at Midnight or something in Massachusetts watching a Kings game on NATIONAL TELEVISION for that put-back in one of those.
Ahhh, Kings games televised outside of Sac…
Ahhh… NBA games being played…

Coolest nickname is my criteria at this point
I love Donté
but he’d be by far the worst player on the list to date.
9.6 PER, 6.3 PPG, .406 FG%, 2.3 RPG, .7 APG in 17.4 MPG (200 Games Played).
In terms of total Win Shares, Donté is 97th all-time, behind guys like Justin Williams, Bill Wennington and Mike McGee. In terms of Win Shares per 48 minutes he’s 100th.
He’ll get on this list eventually, but it won’t be for anything he’s done on the court, where he’s been pretty terrible for the most part, at least statistically. I think there are several players still that deserve consideration before Donté, and yes, I think Omri is one of them.
Players that will likely go ahead of Donté (at least on the list, and this isn’t in order):
*Randy Brown
*Kenny Thomas (Even though I will never vote for him)
*Spencer Hawes
*Jim Les
*Travis Mays
*Mike McGee
*Derek Smith (another person I will never vote for)
*Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf
*Vinny Del Negro
*Dennis Hopson
*Vernon Maxwell
*Rory Sparrow
*Andres Nocioni
*Anthony Bonner
*Ed Pinckney
*Rod Higgins
*Samuel Dalembert
I may put Donté in before some of those guys *cough*Thomas/Smith*cough*, but I feel all of the above have much better arguments for the list other than Donté. Feel free to make an argument for him though to try to convince me and I might listen if you make some good points (aside from him setting up the Sacramento charity game, which I’m already considering in his favor).

You're voting for a guy that played 43 games for the team. That's your choice, but
I think Donté’s contributions are greater than half a season of play.
by Kfan in Korea on Oct 13, 2011 7:59 PM PDT up reply actions
Oh, and I agree there are quite a few on that list that I will start voting for over Donté
But I would still vote Greene over anyone on your current list.
by Kfan in Korea on Oct 13, 2011 8:04 PM PDT up reply actions
Of course. I vote for who I want. And you list who you want, but it's also my perogative to question why you have a guy on your list that has played 27 games for the Kings
Donté has played 200 games. Hell, why is Landry on your list over Pinkney and Del Negro and Brown. I guess i just value longevity much more than you do.

Ahem
When voting feel free to use any criteria you wish in your evaluation
The people want Donté, based on whatever criteria they want.

Would have loved for him to have been around a couple more years.

Dude
Donte SUCKSSSSSSSS. Sorry for being so brash about it, but straight up Donte’s just not very good. I don’t just bash on the guy for no reason. His inconsistency and his inability to maintain a solid role on this team really just has me counting the days till we either trade him or waive him. I agree with Aykis 100% and honestly i’d even vote for K-9 before i’d vote for “buckets” (lack thereof). But yeah.. Donte = no bueno.

Omri
I dont understand why Landry is getting so many votes. Nice guy, but he played well for half a season.
Yay! Someone else voted for Omri!
I thought I was going to be the only one.
With that said, though, I defense of Landry, he was one of the bright spots on a young, basically leaderless team. Adleman didn’t want him traded when he was with the Rockets and Landry filled in quite nicely on the Hornets for the injured David West (who’s one of the Hornet cornerstones and a tough one to replace.) Landry deserves his spot on the list, in my opinion.

Throwing in a vote for Omri
Top Hat’s got this one locked-up (BTW… cool nickname) and the best PER/games played. However, I have a soft spot for the cute spunkiness of Omri.
Jim Jackson
still don’t understand why they never resigned him.
