|
| | | SACRAMENTO: GUARDS: MARCUS THORNTON is the only one guaranteed a consistent role on the perimeter . . . ISAIAH THOMAS was the story of the second half for the Kings. He can fill up the box score, but at 5-foot-9 (at best) he's too much of a defensive liability and not a point guard . . . AARON BROOKS is the most talented guard on this team. He's had attitude problems in the past, but he could, and should, lead this team . . . Now that he remained in Sacto, TYREKE EVANS will be playing off the ball at the three against his wishes . . . The Kings will keep on trying to unload JOHN SALMONS, who's not a useful NBA player . . . JIMMER FREDETTE should have a role off the bench, but his ball-handling is not where it has to be for an NBA point guard . . . FRANCISCO GARCIA's chance seems to have passed him by. FORWARDS: THOMAS ROBINSON should emerge as a starter early in his rookie year. He has his flaws on both ends of the floor, but he brings energy and doesn't need a lot of touches to get his points . . . Even if Robinson knocks him to the bench, JASON THOMPSON should play the five at times and see close to starter's minutes . . . JAMES JOHNSON should also play big minutes soon considering his ability to make positive contributions without a lot of touches . . . CHUCK HAYES should continue to play second-unit minutes as a glue guy . . . TRAVIS OUTLAW has regressed to the point that he's lucky to have a roster spot . . . TYLER HONEYCUTT has an intriguing skill set as a defensive-minded point forward, but he's likely ticketed for the D-League again. CENTERS: DeMARCUS COUSINS came on strong late last season. There's no doubt he has All-Star potential, but between his awful shot selection and occasional attitude problems, he just hasn't lived up to his potential. After Team USA passed on him this summer because of reported maturity problems, he might still not get it. | | GOLDEN STATE: GUARDS: STEPHEN CURRY is this offense's engine and a stat-stuffing machine, as long as he's healthy. His ankle should be healed, but his small frame hasn't proven to be up to the rigors of the NBA . . . KLAY THOMPSON is a pure shooter who played himself into a starting job last year. He's a bit one-dimensional, but this spread, up-tempo offense is right up his alley . . . JARRETT JACK will back up both guard spots and provide some insurance for the fragile Curry . . . BRANDON RUSH is going to push for a starting job, but he's never proven to be more than a second-unit talent . . . As a rookie, CHARLES JENKINS proved worthy of a roster spot during his late-season audition. But he'll be looking at a lot of DNP-CDs as long as Curry and Jack are healthy. FORWARDS: DAVID LEE's touches will drop alongside Andrew Bogut. The Warriors seem prepared to give him major minutes despite his defensive shortcomings . . . HARRISON BARNES should push for a starting job early. He's not a great iso player, but the Warriors' offense should set him up with catch-and-score opportunities . . . CARL LANDRY is active around the basket and should do some damage over 20 MPG . . . RICHARD JEFFERSON is going to be in a mentor role until his contract expires in two years . . . JEREMY TYLER is young and a borderline usable big off the bench . . . Second-rounder DRAYMOND GREEN isn't an athlete but does a bit of everything. He figures to have a limited role as a rookie. CENTERS: His fractured ankle is not quite 100 percent, but ANDREW BOGUT hopes to be healed enough when the season starts to be the centerpiece of the frontcourt. He can rebound and defend, and he'll get his share of easy scoring opportunities with so many shooters spreading the floor . . . The Warriors seem content to let ANDRIS BIEDRINS rot on the bench . . . Rookie FESTUS EZELI is too raw offensively to see significant minutes. |

*Kings-Warriors Preview* ========================
By MATT BEARDMORE STATS Writer
Sacramento (21-41) at Golden State (34-27), 10:30 p.m. EDT
If the Golden State Warriors can keep protecting their home court, there's a good chance they'll make the postseason for the second time in 19 seasons.
The Warriors, though, should just be concerned about the taking care of the lowly Sacramento Kings, who will look to improve to 3-0 in the season series on Wednesday night in their first visit to Oakland in 2012-13.
With a run to the Western Conference semifinals in 2007 as the eighth seed their lone postseason appearance since 1994, the Warriors (34-27) \2013 currently sixth in the West \2013 are excited about participating in meaningful games down the stretch. They'll play 15 of their final 21 at Oracle Arena, with eight of those coming against teams at or below .500.
Sacramento (21-41) owns the West's worst record following Tuesday's 120-113 loss to Denver.
"It feels good that we put ourselves in position to get to this point," said Warriors coach Mark Jackson, whose team opened a seven-game homestand - and snapped a four-game slide - with Monday's 125-118 victory over Toronto. "And now it's about sealing the deal, finishing up the season the right way. Our guys have earned that right, and it's great to be in this situation, but it's not just going to happen on its own."
The Warriors, 19-7 at home, know that after already losing two close games to Sacramento. The Kings avoided their first 0-4 start in four seasons with a 94-92 victory on Nov. 5, and they snapped a five-game skid with a 131-127 win on Dec. 19 in one of the Warriors' worst defensive performances of the season.
Defense continues to be one of the Warriors' glaring weaknesses, as they've given up 109.7 points per game while dropping 10 of their last 14.
The Kings are averaging 110.9 points over their last 12, and they've hit 10 or more 3-pointers in six of seven.
"We've had enough team meetings and what we need to do to correct things. Let's lead by our action," Warriors point guard Jarrett Jack said.
The return of center Andrew Bogut, who had four points and eight rebounds on Monday after a six-game absence with back spasms, should help on the defensive end and on the glass. However, even with All-Star forward David Lee posting his league-best 40th double-double \2013 and seventh in a row \2013 against the Raptors with 29 points and 11 rebounds, the Warriors surrendered 19 offensive boards.
They can't afford that type of effort against Kings center DeMarcus Cousins, who has team highs with 47 points and 22 boards against Golden State this season. Cousins finished with eight points, 13 rebounds and a career-best five blocks on Tuesday, but he also endured the worst shooting performance of his career (1 for 12).
Sixth-man Marcus Thornton, though, is enjoying his best shooting stretch of the season for the Kings, hitting 19 of 40 3s and averaging 26.2 points on 57.9 percent shooting over the last five games.
Golden State's Stephen Curry has been even better in his last five, making 26 of 48 3s and scoring 34.6 points per game. Curry missed the Kings' last visit - a 111-108 Warriors State victory on March 24 - with a sprained right ankle.
Sacramento, loser of eight of 10, last won three straight over Golden State during a 15-game run from Jan. 15, 2000-Nov. 16, 2003.
