Yikes, I wonder how this happens.

Hollinger's player by player analysis of the Kings for the upcoming season.

Some interesting projections:

Tyreke Evans:
24.3 pts, 5.4 reb, 6.5 ast per 40 min; 19.72 PER

Omri Casspi:
16.9 pts, 7.1 reb, 2.2 ast per 40 min; 13.79 PER

Beno Udrih:
15.9 pts, 3.6 reb, 5.8 ast per 40 min; 14.69 PER

Carl Landry:
19.3 pts, 8.1 reb, 1.1 ast per 40 min; 17.57 PER

Samuel Dalembert:
Projection: 11.2 pts, 14.0 reb, 1.0 ast per 40 min; 14.79 PER

Donte Greene:
Projection: 6.7 pts, 5.6 reb, 1.8 ast per 40 min; 11.84 PER

Looks like Hollinger has Omri winning our starting SF position battle. He still saves a lot of concerns with Evans (e.g. maturity) but projects a nice stat line for him.

Came across this earlier in the season when Udoka was still with the Blazers. Glad to have this guy on our team!

I came across this history of the Kings today when looking around for something to read. It is super in depth, and really provides some perspective on just how far back the team goes.

I like reading news articles, but sometimes writers can really make me angry.

Case in point, this article that rarely uses the King's team name. Instead it uses rude substitutions like "The Court Jesters" and the "Sacrificial Kings."

I can't believe this was actually put into print, even if it was only in the Denver Post. It is one thing to be excited about a player breaking a record, making it to the postseason, etc. It is quite another to wholly insult a team and its fans in print.

While we sometimes disparage Ailene and other Sacramento Bee sports writers, at least they are considerate-yet-realistic to other teams in their articles.

The Kings should use this piece as an inspiration to destroy the Nuggets when they see them this season.

**Notice that I did not make fun of the Nuggets' team name in this article. That is because I don't need to, everybody already knows that the kind of Nuggets that their name refers to are those that come from the butt.**

Cheers!
