|
| | | 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. | | MEMPHIS: GUARDS: The Grizzlies will scale back MIKE CONLEY's minutes a bit. He's a quality starting point guard, but seemed to lose some pep as last season wore on . . . TONY ALLEN figures to see more playing time now that O.J. Mayo is gone. He's an outstanding defender who will be the fifth option on offense . . . JERRYD BAYLESS figures to become the new sixth man and Allen platoon partner. He'll also spell Conley at the point, leading to solid minutes for the combo guard . . . Second-year man JOSH SELBY has a chance for a rotation spot after starring in the Summer League. He has big offensive upside . . . WAYNE ELLINGTON seems like an emergency plan for the second unit . . . This is likely a redshirt year for talented, but erratic, rookie TONY WROTEN. FORWARDS: RUDY GAY is going to lead the Grizzlies in touches and shots. He's not shy about looking for iso situations . . . ZACH RANDOLPH had trouble getting back into the flow after his knee injury. It's always been a fragile balance with Z-Bo, and he could be an odd man out going forward . . . MARREESE SPEIGHTS should be the offensive focal point of the bench unit as their sixth man . . . QUINCY PONDEXTER is a versatile defensive piece who will see solid minutes off the bench. He's a non-factor offensively, though . . . DARRELL ARTHUR suffered a non-displaced fractured in his leg in late September, and will not likely be ready when the season begins. A rising young big, his role will depend on when his athleticism comes back. CENTERS: The Grizzlies are at their best when MARC GASOL is getting touches and shots on the offensive end. Whether or not Gay and Randolph are willing to share is a concern, but Gasol has to be aggressive when the ball is in his hands . . . HAMED HADDADI will continue to play limited minutes off the bench. |

*Kings-Grizzlies Preview* =========================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
Sacramento (15-24) at Memphis (24-13), 8:00 p.m. EDT
Given how well the Memphis Grizzlies have played this season, it's no surprise coach Lionel Hollins is baffled by their current losing streak.
Looking to avoid a season-high fourth straight defeat, the Grizzlies hope to turn things around and continue their home dominance of the Sacramento Kings on Friday night.
Memphis (24-13) is among the top four teams in the Western Conference because it allows 90.4 points per contest to offset its scoring average of 93.7. However, the Grizzlies have lost three straight to Dallas, the Los Angeles Clippers and San Antonio, each by at least 21 points.
They've averaged 79.3 points and shot 36.4 percent while yielding 102.0 and 50.9 percent from the field in those games.
"I'm at a loss for words right now," Hollins told the NBA's official website. "When you shoot poorly it's a recurrent theme. When you turn the ball over it's a recurrent theme and when you don't guard it's a recurrent theme."
That was the case in Wednesday's 103-82 loss to the Spurs, as the Grizzlies went 1 for 9 from 3-point range and allowed San Antonio to shoot 57.9 percent from the field - the highest against Memphis this season. Memphis had no fast-break points and was outscored 46-26 in the paint.
"Our defense seemed to be all over the place," Hollins said. "Guys rotating when they shouldn't be rotating. We had guys out of position playing different spots."
The Grizzlies also lost a season-high three in a row Dec. 8-14, but those defeats came by a combined 17 points. Memphis last dropped four straight games Jan. 24-30.
Rudy Gay had 17 points Wednesday as each Grizzlies starter scored in double figures.
This slide follows a four-game winning streak in which Memphis averaged 100.0 points and gave up 86.8. That includes a 113-81 win at Sacramento on Jan. 7.
The Grizzlies have taken eight of 10 overall versus the Kings (15-24), and they've averaged 115.6 points and 52.7 percent shooting in winning five straight meetings at home by an average of 18.8 points.
Gay was held to eight points and 2-of-10 shooting at Sacramento, but he's scored 22.9 points a game and shot 49.2 percent in his last seven home contests against the Kings.
Though Sacramento has lost 13 of 16 at Memphis, it can match a season high with its third consecutive victory after beating two of the worst clubs in the East, Cleveland and Washington.
"We got two in a row, go to Memphis, that's a tough team," forward John Salmons said. "We've just go to stay together and play good basketball."
Salmons, DeMarcus Cousins and Tyreke Evans each had 21 points as the Kings overcame an 11-point second-half deficit for a 95-94 home win over the Wizards on Wednesday.
"Having three players have 21 points, that's sharing the ball," said Cousins, who pulled down 16 rebounds but also had six of his team's 18 turnovers. "It was a good team game for us all around."
Cousins has totaled 47 points, 30 rebounds and 11 assists in the last two games but scored 10 against the Grizzlies earlier this month.
Evans, who played collegiately at Memphis, has shot 14 of 21 while scoring 39 points in the last two contests. However, he was held to five against the Grizzlies in his first game after missing 11 with a knee injury.
