Taking
a look at the Kings roster I like a lot of what im seeing. Unfortunately the
Kings play in the Western Conference so playoff hopes are really not in the
cards for the Purple and Black this season….this season. That doesn’t mean that
they won’t be able to get in line to in the coming years depending on what they
do in the draft and in free agency. But I can guarantee this; this roster will
be fun to watch and might even spoil some team’s fun down the stretch of the
season. These are some of the key players in that expected success…
1.
PG Ramon
Sessions (7yr vet, SAC,MIL,CLE,CHA,LAL, 2014: 5.5 PPG, 1.1 RPG, 1.6APG): Sessions
may not be a starter, but he is a spark plug off the bench and a stabilizing
force at a position that the Kings desperately needed. I think that Sessions
can provide that in limited minuets off of the bench. He has played for 5 different
teams in his 8 year career but I think he might have finally found a place
where he can really make a difference…
2.
SF Rudy
Gay (8yr vet, SAC,MEM,TOR, 2014: 22 PPG, 6.6 RPG, 3.6APG): Gay is a very
important piece to the potential for the Kings success. Gay came to the team
via trade and could have decided to leave after the season that the Kings had
last year. But instead he bought in and accepted his player option for this
year and signed a 3 year extension recently. This is the type of loyalty that
this franchise needs and maybe he can help lift them from the ashes of
mediocrity…
3.
C
DeMarcus Cousins (4yr vet, SAC, 2014: 23 PPG, 11.8 RPG, 1.4 BPG): As the
only original member of the Sac Town Big 3, Cousins had been considered a disappointment
to most of the fan base because he couldn’t seem to get along with anyone on or
off the court. But those days seem to be behind him and Cousins is playing like
a new man. Averaging 20+ PPG and 10+ RPG make Cousins one of the top centers in
the game today. Will that translate into the playoffs we will have to see…
With the emergence of these three the Kings should be a force in the Western
Conference for the next couple of years. They have a head coach that is able to
get it done and can mold these young minds into possibly the best trio that the
KIings have put on the court in recent memory…
