|
| |  | SACRAMENTO: GUARDS: With Isaiah Thomas out, DARREN COLLISON steps in at the point. He looked good backing up Chris Paul in L.A. and will benefit from a wide-open offense. But it's not clear if can he handle full-time minutes after flopping as a starter in Dallas . . . BEN McLEMORE has to get it going early if he's going to keep his starting job. There's raw talent, but McLemore has a reputation for fading into the background, and was wholly unimpressive last season . . . NIK STAUSKAS will push McLemore for minutes immediately. He'll be overmatched defensively at times, but he can shoot it and moves the ball well offensively . . . It seems like RAY McCALLUM will be a solid enough back-up point guard for the next few years . . . RAMON SESSIONS will push Collison for minutes and could eventually unseat him as the Kings' starter. FORWARDS: RUDY GAY is a low-efficiency player who needs the ball in his hands, but head coach Michael Malone seems willing to let him do his thing . . . Power forward is a black hole in Sacramento. JASON THOMPSON might open the season as the Kings' primary 4, though he struggled mightily in his first season under Malone . . . DERRICK WILLIAMS has never shed that 'tweener label. The team will try to milk some second unit productivity out of him . . . REGGIE EVANS will continue to turn flopping into an art form. An obnoxious art form . . . CARL LANDRY is a question mark as he works his way back from a torn meniscus . . . Tell the world OMRI CASSPI is coming home. CENTERS: He made some real strides under Malone last year, and DeMARCUS COUSINS' improved shot selection has finally made him one of the league's better big men. He spends much less time floating on the perimeter hoisting contested 18-footers. | | ORLANDO: GUARDS: VICTOR OLADIPO, who will miss the first four weeks of season with a facial fracture suffered in a late October practice, will play off the ball more, allowing him to slash from the wing. It's a more natural role for him . . . With Jameer Nelson jettisoned, ELFRID PAYTON will step in as the starter at the point. He has an enormous transition from the Sun Belt Conference, but the quickness and athleticism are there . . . EVAN FOURNIER never found consistency in Denver, but could be a valuable wing shooter on a team that needs it . . . BEN GORDON was signed with a very 'tradeable' contract in mind. The Magic are hoping he shoots well enough to draw some suitors . . . LUKE RIDNOUR is a veteran insurance policy behind Payton . . . WILLIE GREEN can be an effective second-unit player . . . ROY DEVYN MARBLE seems like a D-Leaguer. FORWARDS: The Magic brought in CHANNING FRYE to provide some floor spacing and a veteran presence, both much-needed . . . TOBIAS HARRIS will likely have to play some more small forward. He has the offensive skill set to do it, but defense will continue to be an issue . . . He can play both forward spots, and AARON GORDON should be one of the league's better defensive forwards right off the bat. But for now, his offense is limited to dunking . . . It's a big year for MAURICE HARKLESS, who has yet to establish himself as a rotation-caliber player. With Harris and Gordon capable of playing the 3, Harkless could lose major minutes . . . ANDREW NICHOLSON has a ways to go after a disappointing second season. He's likely on the outside of this rotation. CENTERS: NIKOLA VUCEVIC is a cornerstone player in Orlando because he's big, and he does everything just well enough. He's not a game-changer on either side of the court . . . KYLE O'QUINN has had some good moments in garbage-time games the past two seasons. It's enough to keep him on the roster. |

*Kings-Magic Preview* =====================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Sacramento (21-38) at Orlando (19-43), 7:00 p.m. EDT
Despite rumors he could be headed to Orlando, George Karl became the Sacramento Kings' third coach this season after agreeing to terms last month.
He and counterpart James Borrego are still looking for more consistency from their respective new teams.
In the midst of a season-high eight-game road trip, the Kings try to hand the last-place Magic a fifth consecutive loss Friday night.
Karl was hired to replace Tyrone Corbin during the All-Star break, just two months after Corbin took over for the fired Michael Malone. Sacramento (21-38) has gone 3-4 under Karl after dropping three of its last four, with its lone victory over that stretch a 124-86 victory over NBA-worst New York during the opener of its trek Tuesday.
The Kings' woes resumed the following night in a 112-85 rout at the hands of San Antonio, their second 27-point defeat in six games.
Sacramento was held to 37.2 percent from the floor while the Spurs shot 52.9 percent. DeMarcus Cousins, who finished with a team-high 14 points, was forced to sit midway through the second quarter after collecting his third foul.
The Kings were limited to five points after his exit as the defending NBA champions closed the first half on a 21-7 run.
"When he got in foul trouble in the first half, I think that gave San Antonio that inner confidence," Karl said. "He makes us better offensively, but with (Cousins) on the court defensively, statistically, you don't get much done."
The Kings have allowed 108.1 points per game in dropping 16 of their last 19 on the road. However, they're going up against a Magic team that's averaged 90.3 during its four-game losing streak.
Orlando, which had won its previous three for its longest run of the season, is 4-6 since Borrego replaced Jacque Vaughn.
Victor Oladipo scored a career-high 38 points Wednesday, but it wasn't enough as the Magic (19-43) fell 105-100 to Phoenix. Orlando led by as many as 15 and took a nine-point lead into the break before getting outscored 34-17 in the third quarter.
"We've got to find out a way to come out better in the second half," Oladipo said. "We've got to put a whole game together if we want to win games.
"We're learning, we just have to continue to keep getting better. It's tough right now, but all these things that are going wrong can be corrected, so that's the bright side of it."
Oladipo is surely at least in part referring to the season-worst seven turnovers he committed, giving the Magic 21 to go with 21 assists.
"We've got to stick to the basics and play the game the way it's supposed to be played," forward Tobias Harris said.
The Magic had dropped four straight to the Kings to match their longest skid in the series before winning 105-96 at Sacramento on Dec. 6. Harris led the way with 27 points as Orlando took advantage of Cousins' absence due to a viral infection.
Magic leading scorer and rebounder Nikola Vucevic also missed the first meeting due to injury. Vucevic, averaging 19.7 points and 11.2 boards, has scored a combined 11 points on 5-of-18 shooting in three career starts against the Kings.
Harris is averaging 21.8 points on 62.0 percent from the floor over a four-game stretch in the series.
